Hello there everybody! A special event this Sunday 18th October, 12-4pm!

All welcome, no charge, no booking.

A walk in the woods with crafts and stories.

π™π™π™š π™’π™šπ™š 𝙁𝙀𝙑𝙠 π™‘π™žπ™«π™š π™žπ™£ π™©π™π™š 𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙙𝙨... They spend their days, unseen, going about their business just like you do yours. They dig, they spin, they delve and they weave. Picnics and wash days, just like you or me. They gather the fruits from the trees and the hedgerows and they bake them into cakes, boil them into jam, ferment them into w**e or soup.

Busy things, they are, with a thousand tiny tasks to keep the Woods running just so.

If you look carefully, you might just see some small signs of their industry. A tool here, a picnic table there with a pot of tea that is still warm. A flicker at the edge of your eye might hint at a hasty departure, perhaps the shake in the breeze of something that has, just that moment, left in a hurry?

Join us in the Woods and see if you can find any hints of their presence. We will be there, in the Gathering Place, on the corner of Kellie Road and Middlemas Road, between 12 and 4pm. Pick up a map and some clues and, who knows, maybe you'll be lucky. You might hear some stories of the Wee Folk, you may even spy some of their tiny houses with their quaint doors and quirky windows. There will be the chance to make and decorate a door or a window yourself, something to take home for the wee folk who live there...

Muddy Buddies are on this Monday 5th October.

Autumn is here,

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun.

It's one of my favourite times of the year. Let's make some hot, spiced apple juice under the trees.

10:30 to 13:00, at the Gathering Place

We'll have a fire and we'll toast some brioche and have a story and a cup of tea.

All welcome, donations please, about Β£4 per child would help cover costs but just chip in what you can.

Come along.
Bring a snack and a drink.
There will be some refreshments too.
And good company.

See you there.

[Please remember to park with consideration for our lovely neighbours and stay back from the junction, thanks]

- sorry, folks, I'm not so well. Hope to see you next Monday.

Muddy Buddies are on this Monday 28th September.

It's the Hunter's Moon this month. Skeins of geese draw great v-shapes in the sky, heading south to warmer lakes than their Summer homes in Iceland and Svalbard.

The leaves are starting to crisp and char at the edges, as the trees prepare to withdraw from the light.

These are the last days of Summer, it's clinging on by its fingertips. It is up to us to seize these last few warm days before the Autumn truly takes hold.
