Hi all, had a day out at Melksham River and Food Festival today. It's been a year since I got out on the river so it was a opportunity to get out for a paddle. The dragonflies were huge! I'm no expert so I couldn't tell you which ones they were but great to watch. The water was lovely and clear...

Why is that people who have an interest that is a something other than drinking beer and watching football? I went on Natures craft's Hunter Gatherer course at the weekend, I had an excellent time even with a stinking cold! Thanks AndyN it was a superb course. I went into work in a...
