well that was a brilliant meet! after an 8 month lay off, what a start to this year.
our planned project of a wind break around the communal got off to a great start on Friday with just a few of us, but an influx of helpers on Saturday saw it fly up! perhaps not the textbook way, but it works well.
of course we also had our bushy car boot on the Saturday too, with many great bargains and a variety of kit. the evening was a bit of a Bannock bake off! different methods and recipes were tried and the results eaten, very nice. the youngsters found a queen hornet over wintering in a rotting log, these guys have a bad press, they are reluctant to sting and bite unless provoked!
all in all the meet was well attended and appreciated by all after the long lay off, it was a real pleasure to bring the wood alive again with banter, laughter and the sound of work parties with many familiar faces and a few new ones too.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
