Watch this Space

In late summer next year, probably in August, I intend to organise a Rural Skills and Crafts Fair here and if anyone reading this would like to help, please get in touch.
I am hoping to include demonstrations of making sticks,hurdles and woven fences and there will be cheese and sausage-making, wool spinning, stone carving, scythe-making, wood carving and whittling, knot tying and lots more.
The food will be good, wholesome, local REAL food (see Michael Pollan's book 'In Defense of Food' where he neatly shows that many so-called edible products are not really food at all but clever concoctions of taste and colour which mascarade as food and con people, who then become fat, nutritionally deprived and probably irritable, depressed or worse)
With luck there will be 'hands-on' opportunities and lots of 'materials' to buy and take home: wood for carving, sticks etc, willow and reeds for baskets, wool for spinning and dying and the equipment needed to make your own cheese _a hugely satisfying and rewarding experience which will also save you money. Lovely lumps of Cotswold stone will be available to buy and there will be an irrisistible array of delicious produce, apart from the eat-on-site catering which will be worth a visit on its own.
We may even have a wonderful tepee-maker here who makes tepees to order for camping at festivals etc
I'm so full of ideas I may have to pay someone to slow me down so, today I will pick blackberries; in the not-too-distant-past I waited until dusk to make the whole experience more of a challenge but today I will go in bright sunlight. The cows usually come to watch and pick their own at he same time; I take apples for them which gives a whole new slant on the blackberry and apple theme we all love!
