Say here with a billy of water over a slow burn fire in a three log star lay, carving a chopping board to help prepare tonights dinner of steak, rice and what ever I can find, might have some company late if AndyN joins me, it is a beautiful day the blue bells are stunning they carpet the whole lower southern corner of the wood PPTP and around three badger sets, going to set up and watch them later.

I'm not going to get chance to do this unfortunately guys, i did go and do a 2 nighter at Middlewood but took way more than 15 items lol. I'm working away at the moment and have been for nearly a month now, the job is dragging on a lot longer than was expected but good luck to any and all who are still to take part
