We were lucky enough to attend a two day residential visit to the ‘Shining Cliff’ hostel in Derbyshire. The hostel was tucked away in a peaceful woodland setting and was a welcome break from city life. We recorded two of the activities to share with the blog. The first clip shows us being taught to light fires, safely, in woodland. In the second clip we are making outdoor candle holders from natural materials including stinging nettles which were used to make our own string! We hope you enjoy watching the clips as much as we enjoyed the trip!

Brocks Hill, by Mary
At a women's group that I attend once a month with Network Resource Centre, we had a trip to Brocks Hill Visitor Centre in Oadby. This place was very eco-friendly, plenty to do for all members of a family. There was a lovely sundial right in the centre. What stood out for me most of all was the way animals were carved out of wood at different places. As I love owls, I couldn't resist having my picture taken! A most enjoyable afternoon.
