Loads of crafts, skills, stalls, and Dave Watsons there doing Firelighting demonstrations.

Im working there this weekend and its a cracking spot. The whole site is a series of old reservoirs with woods all around. Its free except a couple of quid for the car.

I'll be there turning bowls. Owen Jones making swill baskets and as Addo says a nice spot for a stroll in the woods.

Robin had some rearly nice bowls and plates he's turned on display. A very skilled chap indeed
The famous spoons were out too :notworthy.

A cracking weekend and nice to see you and you lad Tony. I Hamocked over this year and It made it even better. Strange being able to roll out of bed and walk a few yards to work.
