Spent a day in the company of Betty, the charcoal kiln @AspirationGreen. Many thanks to Jo and Paul for their generosity and good chat! I am completely enamoured with the charcoal process so this was a dreamy research trip.

Hunt violence and wildlife killing was reported from all across the UK yesterday. Foxes killed, windscreens smashed and saboteurs driven into by terriermen and hunt support.

It's time for this to end once and for all. It's time to end hunting in the UK.

RT if you're with us.

They will strike for 2 days to save the service and their jobs.

Are you with them?

@OWGGroup Wow kind words indeed! We had a lot of fun, mostly seeing people learning and sharing with each other. Getting people into the woods making and building is what it’s all about! #buildstuff #community

A totally EPIC weekend working on our new roundwood timber framed office. There was bark stripping, peg making, scribing, joint cutting, more scribing, a little head scratching and more than a little laughter. Thanks to everyone who came along.
