Quick one nighter

[John Fenna]

I managed to get a quick overnighter in my small perm - it meant missing the rugby but then , sometimes you just have to prioritize!
I did a bit of whitting using my new Sheep Shears knife ( the blade chipped where there was a flaw in the steel ... as expected!) and my Fieldcrafter, did a bit of photography, tracked down the tree where the woodpeckers are building their nest and read "Call of the Wild" ... and chilled!

Great stuff john! Love the Woodspirit!

I watched England and Italy, and France and Ireland after a trip out, was gutted England came second overall, if only the last french try wasn't a forward pass, we'd have won.

Love the fieldcrafter knives too!

Nice report John, and good pics, you were blessed with the weather. I'm glad to see your chair survived the storms.

Looks like a good time out John.

Thanks for the comments folks
The chair survived the storms thanks to it being in my small perm - it was the big perm got hammered with 50% casualties to the trees ... the small perm only lost about 1% and none came down on my camp area
As to Call of the Wild - it is one of my all time favourite stories, along with White Fang, and I have the two in one volume... which is starting to fall apart with excessive reading!

Nice relaxed outing. Top choice in your reading materials. Thanks for sharing your outing and photos.

Great pics John thanks, gutted about the Rugby also. Damn French missed 2 golden last 5 minutes chances they should of won.

I should say that Mr Fenna was probably referring to the Wales/Scotland game!

Lovely pics John and that face reminds me of somebody, just can't think who.

The moon was superb over the weekend wasn't it? I was out too (listened to the rugby on my little portable radio) but didn't spend the time so productively although I did start on a new shelter after my old one fell victim to the winter storms.

 

[John Fenna]

Well - I actually missed all the games ... the Ireland match sounds more watching fun than the Wales one ... at least from the reports I have heard (it is a good thing the Missus likes the 6 Nations ) and the score lines!

 

[treadlightly]

Yeah listened to the Ireland game too, that did sound like a proper match unlike the one in Cardiff.

Blimey, have you re-sited to Easter Island? Love that carving!

I describe my "Small Gods" (not "wood-spirits as they don't have beards ... ) a fusion of Easter Island, West African and Celtic influenced carving...
The items I did this time I will be selling at my next craft fair, described as a large pot stirrer/spurtle and a small bark peeler/spud.

I'm with the others Mr Fenna, great pic and report. Looks like a relaxing yet productive trip. Nice to see the shearing knife in action, pity about the chip! Great carving too.
