Ickworth wood fair

[agg221]

We went and enjoyed it.

 

It was certainly not cheap without NT membership, but I managed to pick the brains of both Rick Lewis of Traditional Oak Carpentry and Stephen Westover of Westover Woodlands and their advice will save me a whole lot more than the entry fee.

 

Our daughters are that bit smaller and enjoyed the face painting and the storyteller, who kept them entertained for about half an hour. We also had a look round the gardens and the stumpery in particular was quite interesting.

 

Always good to see the steam sawing - looks like we were there one log later than you David. Did manage to catch up with The Village Idiot though, and met Mrs Idiot too (in case you were wondering, her attire was somewhat more conventional).

 

Not as good as Weird & Wonderful Wood, but a nice day out and with weather like today (maybe the last really decent day of the year) well worth it.

Anyone going this year as down at the outlaws at the moment

[AHPP]

Very probably. Skinhead with an orange and blue watch strap and possibly an Alsatian. Feel free to say hello.
