Nice touch from Woodlore

[Celt_Ginger]

My daughter reciently decided that she wanted to send an email to Ray Mears at Woodlore. (she is 7 years old) She asked a number of questions about why he did certain things. A reply was promptly sent back, and a request for her home address, which we provided. 2 days later a gift arrived from Woodlore. It totally made her day. I have to take my hat off to Woodlore. They delighted a little girl, and Ray has a new fan. A Big Thank you to them.

She asked a number of questions about why he did certain things.

Can I ask what the questions were?

Can I ask what the questions were?

And the answers?

A nice bit of PR and a reflection IMHO of the way RM thinks.

I have noticed recently a bit of "celeb knocking" creeping in.I know it's a British disease but it would be nice to keep it out of BCUK.

What I don't understand is why we're surprised Ray Mears is nice and cares?

Why with the confusement? I was simply giggling because khimbar made a good point. Ray Mears = clearly a nice bloke.

Apologies then. I thought for a moment that was a cynical comment. Having met RM a couple of times I am impressed by his humility and the time he has for everyone.

Cheers,

I've never met him, but have absolutely no doubts he is a very genuine and sincere person, I think it says a lot about the world we live in when a "celebrity" is remarkable simply because they have a real talent, and behave in a decent way. He has proved to be a real hero to my kids, and as a consequence I have learned more than just practical skills from him.
Cheers Ray.

I don't think we're surprised,just pleased.

It is always a pleasure to hear of good things happening to people,we get too much of the other stuff.

Well done Woodlore,keep it up.
