The conflict resolution between the Dragon Riders and the Mafia was so successful, the Mafia gifted the 2nd wigwam to the Dragon Riders. What a site to see - if only us adults were so flexible and enjoined to find solutions. Lunch at the Pits, with music (thanks Sam), handstands and dancing. Mell bought in… Continue reading July 2020 – Dragon Riders and the Mafia reach an agreement, owls eat shrews
So much went on this day it is troublesome to even remember.Tribes came and went. Dr Who arrived, set a clue which was found, showed us an ancient black and white series with the first Dr Who (William Hartnall). Dragon potions were mixed and administered. We cut open an unripe walnut and found it white.… Continue reading July 2020 – Dragon medicine, tribes, bikes, Dr Who
‘There is always one potato left behind’ Two new brothers came today to make up to 7 with the same 5 facilitators, Leon and Megan fresh from Forest School training at the weekend.

Oh so good to be back to the woods. 'It's like being in a rain forest', said one, and it was. Rare for East Anglia we had rain most of the day, but we didn't care. Loads of preparation work, massive hours on COVID Risk Assessments, all ropes taken down, tippy taps created, Clarissa converted… Continue reading Back to the woods! July 2020

He had boiled rosemary and found it had a physical reaction of bubbling. Mell and Rachel were mystified. To make a… Continue reading June Zoom – Beech
Jess and her sister Amy have got 2 horses on loan to be lawn mowers for their lawn. They are entering them for an online horse competition, being judged on cutest companion.

With Mell aka Flora, Rachelle, Megan and Rachel with Leon on Zoom control, we had a small tribe visiting the woods on Zoom today, but boy had they been busy. Toby had created the Cave Game, loosly based on Minefield, which required resources or was it 3 sauces (Brown, Tomato and Bread?) 5 caves in… Continue reading May Zoom – Ash and Elderflower
The two Rachelles and Sue and the dogs, were under the Bender. Why? Because we were talking HAZEL this week. The International Space Wagon was there to provide power to our speaker (thank you solar) which was connected through blue tooth to the computer to give us surround sound - SO WE COULD HEAR YOU… Continue reading May Zoom – Hazel
