New Wood

The Blakeleys have a new project for 2014. Well not specifically our project but one we are keen to help with. My brother has bought a wood. Not a piece of wood for the fire but a 7 acre forest wood with trees! We all went en famille yesterday to visit it. As we were walking through it my brother got the phone call to verify that it was his wood. Wow, your very own wood to play in.

The children are very excited and want to go every weekend. It's in North Yorkshire so it is a bit of a journey but one we are keen to make every so often. There is much to do like making a camping area, clearing bracken and dead wood, planting new trees, building dens, making swings, creating an archery area, oh the list is endless. I think we are all excited and a little in awe of the task ahead but we will go with the flow and see what 2014 brings. Fear not, I'll keep you up-to-date with all things wooden.
