A jouryney begins

www.morganswood.co.uk

The purpose of this blog is to keep a diary of Morgans Wood. I plan to keep a diary of the progress made, events, happy days and holidays together with information on work done to the woodland and it's evolution.

We bought Morgans Wood only five weeks ago on the 26th May and already there is a website set up, a fully functioning camp with shelter, central fire, kitchen area, and even a compost toilet have been installed all with the help of our very special friends. The first trees have been carefully selected and felled to provide some of our winter store of fuel and poles for our first home built tipee for overwinter shelter and storeage.

Initial outlay thus far has been quite high, but we did anticipate that with needing new tools (including a chainsaw and safety equipment), parachutes for the shelter, kettle, thunder box supplies, tarpaulines for the kitchen and wood pile, rope, string, fuel for chainsaw and hurricane lanterns and website set up.

We have been really lucky with the weather so far and whilst the rest of the country swelter in 33 degree heat, the wonderful trees keep us cooler and sun safe as we work and play - blissful.

We do get time to relax and try and work as much as our bodies will allow, and stop when we need a break and rest in hammocks gazing into the tree canopy with a cold beer resting on a tree stump at an arms reach.

Looking forward to the weekend already.....
