Woodland Woodwork

It's been a hectic day of many parts and venues across North Wales, but did at least start off in a relaxed way (well, as relaxed as you can be with the potentially grey hair inducing cocktail of a group of students with knives and fire). In actual fact, the potential nightmare morning all went rather well - and it made for a different morning too, as we spent it whittling wood around a campfire in the forest, with sunlight streaming through the trees. I've been doing some 'tool making' out in the Colwyn Bay Forest School with my group.

It was the perfect morning for some forest time...

 

We all made a wooden mallet out of a recently felled Birch tree, which was all very chilled and rather therapeutic.

 

Next stop was a visit to the Holyhead Lifeboat and Coastguard where the marina looked and felt tropical!

 

While I was looking across to Snowdonia, Clare was up in the mountains looking out at Holyhead! Here's her view from the summit of Moel y Ci.

 

In the evening, we took a walk from The Cottage down to the river to skip some stones. We went a slightly different way and found this natural bridge that I couldn't resist crossing.

 

Made it back home at dusk and suddenly felt rather tired....
