Very toughtful of you for your lil miss ! :You_Rock_

My dad is a carpenter/woodworker, and as I was young, I can't recall how many toys he prepared for me and my brother outta rough wood. And they were my favorite toys too .

Nothign says "I care for you" better than an homemade item (except maybe a pink and yellow knitted shirt... well, for me that is hehe).

Top job those, I took the kids for a walk today and the missus came along with our youngest in the off road buggy. I took the trangia for a brew and we packed up a smll picnic and a blanket, and sat and had sarnies and a brew watching pheasant running around in the field below us. On our way back, we passed a horses field and collected some long hair, of which I have to find a use for. This was when the kids asked for walking sticks. One got a stick of holly, the other got hazel, and I now know where to go for my hazelnuts later in the year!!

Walking sticks sort of pale in comparison to those bows though!
