Not just me, Mesquite and Crossland Kelly were there too. There is a reason we call it the Steam Tent Co-operative.

See you at the RVP tomorrow then.

Sunday is supposed to be a day of worship I guess...

I just have the food supplies to pack then off tomorrow morning. ( We have been granted early entry for setting up with the traders. )

Just the job for autumn gatherers

I always like to come away from the Bushmoot having learned something or made something new. This year a great little workshop given by Anna and Ian ??? ticked both of those boxes with one of the nicest, simplest "foraged art" ideas I have seen.

It was part of a rolling pin that I had used part of for another job.

Seems to have been a common perception judging by responses here and on FB. I guess a lump on a stick brings such things to mind which is something to consider when using it. Interesting that a hammer or an axe do not seem to produce quite the same kind of reaction even though they were also...

I think I do somewhere as well.

For clarity, this is the company it will keep. You can clearly see the damage done to the wooden mallets by using them on metal pegs and tools. The leather wrapped one is for leatherwork.

I don't know, I always fancied a Daktari styled Land Rover.

I would love to but after nearly three weeks under canvas in the last month and the Steam Tent Co-op event on the bank holiday I need to sort some stuff out before the new term starts. I'll keep my eyes open for future events though.

I remember the same study. Very interesting. Interestingly I've been wearing stripes outdoors in recent times which does make me wonder if that is why I've had less bites. in

Sadly that is a policy that many events hold. As this is held on a working farm I guess it's not surprising.

As mentioned above. I heard a suggestion to use nail polish to seal the bites of chiggers to stop the itching. Didn't fancy the nail polish so I tried Germaline New Skin, which I normally carry for blister treatment, and it seems to stop the itching on a variety of bites. Recommended it to a...
