Strange....Just had the police call as someone took a picture of my disabled badge in my car near the woods yesterday as they were concerned that the car had been there 3 days (I went to the woods Tuesday and Yesterday, Thursday). They were checking as they feared as I am disabled I may have fell over somewhere and they were going to organise a search. See someone cares about me

Just returned for the Meet, following only 3 people attending and Carl having to return home today at short notice, and Max a newbie only staying the two nights.. I decided to cut it short. Thats means I can catch up with some other things and may go out next weekend to rendlesham.
I have text those that have said they may come to the meet to visit.

Now Showered and watered, some gear Cleared away so I thought it about time to show some pics, , Not a busy weekend, Max a newbie, meet at mine,and I gave him a lift to the wood,s , where I helped him set up his Tarp and Hammock as he had never done it before, I then showed Max how my set up was done, following that Carl arivedand set up, we got the fire going, most the wood was wet due to the amount of rain that we had had, so it was a bit of a game, but hey ho.
the next day we gave Max a short session on Sharps and thir use, sharping, HAd a go with my new Catty that Greatbear of this Parish made for me, used M* nuts and found them to be very effective ammo....
During the day we had unwrapped the Clay oven and repaired the Cracks from the drying, and set a fire in to bake it hard... this was a light allay, come Tea time I used the Ember Plate on top to stew some fresh picked Blackberry's and some Dried apple... mmmm it was tasty, seeing that the oven was Hot and had embers in I used it to cook some chicken for my tea..
I have to report it was a nice meal... mmmmm, all that'S needed now is the DOOR
Max had a goo at carving His first spoon, he did well at it

Had a grate time thanks, nice to meet max and have a go with the caty, hope to have one myself for the next meet.atb carl
Good pics. The oven looks great, what with the shavehorse and the stools, the site is begining to get a semi permanent look about it. kind of Saxon.
Great to see the oven survived and works. Really wish I could've been there for its inaugural burn
