I came across this foam substance on 2 Oak trees this morning, whilst walking in local woods. It was raining quite heavily and the water was running down the trunks, but was quite bubbly, and resulting in clumps of what looked like soap suds. I couldn't detect any odour at all. I do have...

Try Kew Gardens, trees, trees and more trees. :D

We got two impregnated logs last year but nothing has happened yet so i can't exactly say i recommend them. But we still got hope.

thanks for all your advice, now I just have to narrow down the choices :rolleyes:

I think my favourite is Hawthorn. Tasty leaves and flowers in spring, not to mention the fantastic smell, and lovely berries in Autumn. Just about to make my first attempt at a haw & crab apple chutney, supposed to taste great with cheese :D It used to be said that the blossoming of the...

I have found more info about the woodfair on the internet, and there is a free bus running from Lewes train station.

Glad you enjoyed it. The parchute pic is great.

I've picked up some great books from second hand bookshops recently. Some of the things you find in the Natural History section are quite unusual, and often for around £1 :D

I went on a course with these guys in July, it was fantastic! Which course are you going on?

Thanks for organising the trip Lyndon, it was great. Looking forward to the next installment :D I'll sort out some photos soon. Tim, I meant to give you the list of the wood I was told about, to use for bow drilling, so here goes (starting easy) Ivy Red Cedar Alder Elder Horse...

Hi Frank. Glad you made it! You are going to enjoy this site. The course was great wasn't it :D

Haven't been there for about 15 years! Definitely interested in taking another look. Let me know when you're thinking of going.

Hi. I've just finished a week's course at Woodcraft School (which was fantastic!) Someone else there had attended a course at Woodsmoke which they highly recommended, though not sure exactly which course. They said they were a great bunch. I've been thinking about the wild food course that...

Thanks to everyone for the welcome, it's much appreciated.
