A few photos and a bit of rambling... ;-)











Pictures; THE den complete with reciprocal roof made by a wonderful man (Hi Paul!) with the help of the boys...Tom did most of the lashing I understand,washing in the stream and Jon joins the circus!!. There are so many pics of our week away....but which ones to include?
The boys had a great week...David was highly sociable, Jon just peaked too soon with his circus appearance on the second night!, Tom just went with the flow....
We did weaving, made glass jar lanterns, tin can lanterns, jimgle sticks, bird boxes, helped build a den, went on a bat walk and stayed up late EVERY night!!! Watched in awe at the fire juggling, hula hooping and diablo. Totally amazed at the children taking part. Where else could you do such a thing?
We made lots of friends whom I will endeavour to keep in touch with, if only in blogland until camp next year!
A fabulous place...so beautiful my heart ached to leave. I love Wales. Everything about it. The signs in a foreign language, the hills, the streams, the woods, the slow pace, the stone and slate cottages, the sing song voices and the feeling of freedom.
I don't have the words to describe it all and do it justice. I'm just so glad we managed to pull it all off and get there!
