First of all camera refused to work so no photo's.
With my son off school for Easter and such lovely weather an afternoon trip to the woods was in order. A quick bike ride about 1.5 miles and we're in the woods, we picked a spot by the small river, started gathering tinder, kindling and fire wood. I gave my son the tinder ball with the ember char cloth gently blowing he soon had it burning, slowly but surely adding more and bigger twigs until he had a fire more than adequate to cook our tea chicken korma and rice. While that was cooking I gave him direction in using my new axe a review of that coming up. After tea we had a sling shot competition to which it was a draw, time was drawing in time to extinguish the fire clear and pack up before the 1.5 miles back home. All in all a great afternoon.
