Today I took the girlfriend out to the woods for lunch, I am slowly getting her into the woods. Last summer was her first time camping (family camping style loads of kit) But today we planned an afternoon in the woods for a bit of a bushcraft lunch.
Weather was not the best as it has been pretty non stop rain for the best part of a week.

And as you can see there is just a little bit of flooding down by the River Evenlode

The wind must have blown this down in the past 2 weeks since I was last down the woods.

it was only just raining, but just in case it decided to get worse I put the tarp up.

SWMBO was enjoying herself so much watching me do all the work and gathering firewoods she took a selfie.

Getting the fire in the honey stove was nice and easy with a magic biscuit.

Drying the twigs in my pocket worked a treat.

The lunch was an easy pizza Calzone, made with a tortilla. some bbq sauce and ham and mushroom with cheese did the job.

Tin foil hat to keep the heat in.

Then I was told it was time for a photo.

And then it was ready.

Once enjoyed it was time to get the fire going again for desert.

Banana and choc once again, one of my personal favourites.

On the hive with a coffee brewing up

SWMBO now loves banana and chocolate. Sadly no rum or whiskey, as Sam (SWMBO) is pregnant.

I did forget about a spoon, but thankfully i had something that SWMBO was happy to use. Not like i will need to use the card again.

Sitting and relaxing before its time to pack up and finish a walk and head home.

The path was washed out so had to head back the way we had come.

One happy SWMBO after enjoying a few hours in the woods. Next step is a night out before the bump gets to big and uncomfortable.
