Nature is so cool when we look at little closer - Nature is so cool when we look at little closer - so enjoyed a conifer workshop with @jenniemartinethnobotany delving into how these amazing plants evolved over millennia, getting up really close to explore what makes each family so utterly fascinating, observing the clues that help identify these amazing trees, and then putting it all into practice in a lovely nature reserve. Thank you Jennie for a fabulous day learning about conifers 🌲 . . . #natureconnection #ethnobotany #plantidentification #conifer #conifers #treeidentification #amazingplants #natureworkshop

Simple pleasures - students practiced their fire l Simple pleasures - students practiced their fire lighting skills today, putting the kettle on to make hot chocolate, and cooking sausages on sticks. One student said it felt homely, and it being how it would have been before everything was done and made easy for us 😊 #campfire #sausages #cooking #learningoutsidetheclassroom #lotc #alternativeprovision #lifeisgood #bushcraft #send #specialeducation #alternativecurriculum #chilterns #chilternhills #woodland
Good morning from the woods - a little more winter Good morning from the woods - a little more wintery today, a chill in the air, all this lovely fallen leaves are damp, but the kettle is simmering and the fire will keep us warm for our campfire conversation.... #lifeinthewoods #natureconnection #campfireconversations @petromax.germany #teakettle #autumnleaves #flickeringflames #chilterns #woodland #chilternhills #visitchilterns #visitbucks #woodlandexperience #countryside #lifeiswhatyoumakeit #bushcraft #courses
A beautiful day in the Chilterns, the sun is still A beautiful day in the Chilterns, the sun is still quite low, pushing it's way into the woods, rays of sunshine casting long shadows, the kettle is simmering over the campfire, flames flickering and crackling away, is brew will soon be had. Wishing you a wonderful day.
It's a beautiful day, the campfire is burning brig It's a beautiful day, the campfire is burning brightly, flames are flickering and the kettle is simmering ready for a brew - looking forward to campfire conversations with friends 💚
Spending time among the trees is good for the soul Spending time among the trees is good for the soul and that's pretty much what I'm about, sharing my love of the woods, connection with nature and learning a skills to enjoy life outdoors. So it was nice to discover that the @telegraph thought so too, and included me in the "10 of Britain's wildest winter experiences".
