One of our best days out and a not what we were expecting at all. Firstly, maybe from a woman's point of view but the kettles were on and tea and coffee was available all day. Nothing tastes nicer than a cup of camp fire tea - except for the excellent lunch David made over the same fire. We had a wonderful day, learning about the trees and the forest. All stuff we thought we knew but maybe had either forgotten or just thought we knew it. We collected nettles for the lunch, and there were a few raised eyebrows and mild protests, but we soon learned - nettles don't always sting. The very best bit was whittling wood- we loved it and didn't want to leave at the end of the day. I still claim my butterknife is one of the best - and not a dwarf's sumari sword. Weather didn't matter, we were warm, comfortable and at the end of a splended day - very happy. Thanks David - everyone should do this. Its the best gift day out you have never thought of. Hope readers try it for themselves.
