Forest Skills

So today i started training on Forest skills and u may ask what is this? well for me it was a confidence booster. I am rubbish at outdoors and I have to say after the end of the first day I was itching to be back. Making tea/coffee/hot chocolate with kelly kettles... making a rainbow book mark... sticky crowns and string mobiles. So now you think I am a nutter. This is for kids but i have to say for the afternoon I felt like my kids at work... exploring different things and learning about different things. It was an just a wonderful experience. On day two we made wood discs by sawing the wood ourselves... that was the first time I sawed wood and I couldn't believe that it was so easy. Then we learnt about Elder wood... Did you know Elder wood is a native UK tree and has been around since the Ice Age... and its can survive anything... cut it down and it will grow back... its good for making flutes or mini beast houses...:P I cant wait for day three... learning how to make fire with friction... :D
