Look forward to seeing you all again :D !!
 
I still think a padded wheelbarrow would be good for offering accesability, if you don't need it, we can plonk andy in it and race him around the paths ;)

Just been looking at Steves pics thread from last yrs anniversary bluebell meet, I'd forgotton how lovely it looks :) Thinking of paths, I was wondering if the animal foraging marks at last meet along the paths migh have been deer or badger after piguts?

Terrifying! being raced about in a wheelbarrow :lmao: . However just might be useful :crutch: altthough I hope I'l be walking well by then.
 
I bet you will :) But I think the kids would love it too and there'd be plenty of 'uncles' to use as chariot horses ;) Whats the verdict, Steve?! Can we have wheelbarrow chariot races on the paths?!! Hahaha just jk ;)

Michelle (Viking Mistress) confirms Fri-Sun :) Tis great you can make it, lovey!! :D
 
Hehehe just 2 weeks to go now, getting excited! I'm going to miss the usual workparty so was thinking of what to bring along/ do to fill in what will be a big hole for me :) Knitting (I'm having sock stress atm so may be a PIA, Elen, and ask if you can bring a pair of your homemade so I can pour over them!), I'm dying to see my friend Viking Mistress's birchbark containers and wool smock and get the insider info on making them.... and salivating over Hamish and Lee's new leatherwork if they bring some! What are you guys bringing as projects? Shall I bring some polyprop rope to lash together some kid entertainment like rope swings if that's ok with you, Steve?
 
Two Socks just put up a post about making 3 carving stools - this is just what I need, will somebody help me make myself one at the meet? Can I steal a log and 3 smaller branches for legs?

you took the words out of my mouth Elen, i noticed your post to two socks. yes of course i will assist you with the materials and tools if you wish?
