It was a Campfire Bread Baking kind of day - prepa It was a Campfire Bread Baking kind of day - preparing sticks for pizza inspired stick bread, making feather sticks fire lighting, naan breads with locally sourced lamb kebabs, and these tasty little loaves. And a woodland walk to learn about the trees whilst waiting for the bread to prove. Quite a good day with nice folks 💚 #campfirebreadbaking #campfire #freshlybakedbread #bushcraftcourse #chilternexperience #natureconnection #lifeinthewoods #dutchoven #dutchovenbaking #learnhowtobake #autumninthewoods #chilternhills #visitchilterns #visitbucks
Good morning - the campfire is burning brightly, t Good morning - the campfire is burning brightly, the kettle is simmering and it'll soon be time for a brew, and probably breakfast 😊 Wishing you a wonderful day. #campfire #chilterns #bushcraft #petromax #teakettle #kettleblack #woodlands #lifeinthewoods #natureconnection
Wild night out - well more of a peaceful night in Wild night out - well more of a peaceful night in the woods, owls were hooting for a while, a couple of roe deer wandered past, and the flames flickering, and now time for a brew. A hammock for the night, my favourite place to sleep - nighty night folks. #wildcamp #anightinthewoods #campfire #hammocktime #teakettle #flickeringflames
Friday's Fire - sitting quietly by the campfire, t Friday's Fire - sitting quietly by the campfire, there's time for reflection, students have gone, tidying can wait a while, thinking about the joy of watching a handsome roebuck prancing across the field, thankful for the cool air in the depths of the wood and the beautiful green canopy above, wondering about the new badger set that is away from the main clan, and it's strangely quite, little if any bird song, and then a buzzard calls 💚 #fridayfire #campfire #kettleblack #teakettle #petromax #chilternexperience #bushcraftcourse #lifeoutdoors #woodlands #chilltime #woodsman #lifeinthewoods #naturesrythm
This weekend I'm be back at The Chiltern Open Air This weekend I'm be back at The Chiltern Open Air Museum @chilternoam as craftsperson in residence - I'll be demonstrating spoon carving and talking to visitors about this wonderful craft. It's a fabulous museum that tells the story of the Chilterns through it's architecture and buildings - I'll be there Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th September 2023 #woodlandcrafts #chilterns #museum #spooncarving #localcraft #craftdemonstrations #chilternscreatives
Refreshing for mind, body and soul - a walk over a Refreshing for mind, body and soul - a walk over a lovely corner of Dartmoor, and then a dip into these cool waters. I wonder if you could ever tire of beautiful, immersive places like these, truly connected and embraced by nature 💚 #dartmoor #naturesrythm #riveravon #wildside #natureconnection #avondam #shipleybridge
Nice when a plan comes together - early start to s Nice when a plan comes together - early start to set up my woodland camp, before the liquid sunshine arrives 🙂 as I sipped my coffee and cooked breakfast over the campfire, a gentle pitter patter could be heard on the tarpaulin roof, yes, that worked out nicely 👍 #campfire #woodland #bushcraftexperience #primalskills #lifeinthewoods #chilterns #bushcraftcourse #friedbreakfast #flickeringflames #kettleblack
Pensive - making most of solo time in the woods, y Pensive - making most of solo time in the woods, yes I know, really taking photos. Well I took these and then sat a while, listening, watching and being curious about what surrounds me here in this peaceful place. A beautiful oak, it's angular branches and leaves luminescent in the sunshine, a young buzzard calling, a fresh deer lay, sitting beneath an old pollarded beech tree, probably from when a community lived here long ago, and mosquitos who appreciate I'm wearing shorts 🙄 #naturesrythm #woodstime #lifeinthewoods #natureconnection #portrait #chilternexperience #woodsman
Freshly baked bread - it's definitely a firm favou Freshly baked bread - it's definitely a firm favourite, and well fresh bread is best when it's still warm out of the oven 😋 Pizza inspired loaf with tomato paste, lots of herbs, and chilli, with a splash of olive oil in the baking pan, and a 50:50 loaf; strong bread flour and wholemeal, and a plain loaf too. All rather tasty and enjoyed 😊 #campfirebreadbaking #chilterns #freshbread #bushcraftcourse #familybushcraft #lifeouthere #woodstime #naturesrythm #campfire #campfireconversations
Good morning - it's a little damp in the woods, bu Good morning - it's a little damp in the woods, but the campfire is burning brightly, a gentle warm breeze is drying everything out, it's going to be a nice day. Wishing you well. #chilterns #woodland #chilternexperience #campfire #flickeringflames #lifeinthewoods #bushcraft #woodcrafts #homeinthewoods #woodsmanslife
