Outdoor greenwood workshop

This is my dream open air wood workshop! It provides all year round weather protected outdoor workspace set in woodlands with it's own wood burner to keep warm in the winter. It has 12 upright posts, that represent the 12 months of the year, which support the shingle roof with skylight. The roof is supported by and up-side-down tree trunk in the middle! Find out more at Ruskin Mill College in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire.

Bespoked Bristol

Last weekend I went to visit Bespoked Bristol, the UK Handmade and Boutique Bicycle Show. It was held at the Paintworks in Bristol and was full of bespoke, handmade and quirky bicycles. One of the highlights was a bike which was made with a bamboo frame (talk about renewable sustainable transport - although, I am not convinced about sturdiness, let alone what would happen in case of a crash!)... Well worth a visit!

London

Recently we visited London and had such a great day that we went back for more a month or so later! One of the highlights was The London Eye of course. Although I had been a couple of times before, it is always a great experience!
We also visited the British Museum and the Natural History Museum which are great to explore with their millions of items on display. Other sights included Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the Underground, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Horse Guards and of course London Buses. We had a lot of fun and we will certainly be going back again and again...
