Don't eat to much mate, we built a brick oven, so there's pizza, bread and the dutchy made peach cobbler. Martin would be proud.

No green unfortunately, although I could do with it as Im not exactly inconspicuous
Hope to see you all soon.

Managed to get there today - saw Addo and Woodspirits for a chat. I thought it was great - good variety of activities, both woodcraft type as well as wildlife. All in a great woodland setting with good weather and only a reasonable car park fee to pay. And never had a go at using an arty soldering iron to burn wood, or had a go on a pole lathe before - both good fun.

Just got back . . . It was a great day out . . . . . .
Lots of interesting things to see but my personal favorites were;
The two guys on Wild food, could have spent the whole day with those guys, (got a bit paranoid I was loitering a little too long so had to wander off . . . lol)
The wild man of the woods was fantastic with the kids (and adults alike) with his teaching integrated with stories,
And last but not least the peach cobbler was superb (my compliments to the chef)
The only downside was we got there a little late (1.30) but I only saw it on here at 11.00 this morning.
A big thank you to everyone on here that was involved . . . . .
Regards,
Tree beard.
