My aim is to get a little fitter in 2019 So I use the ‘green gym’. Membership is free and you can go as little or as often as you like! I have the satisfaction of getting fitter in a healthy environment and at the same time achieve something useful. (just think how much we could achieve if everyone who lifts weights lifted timber instead!) The above is a panorama taken in Pondhead with info…
The Blushing Beech
I stand tall, with a stately crown, changing my cloak with the seasons; from spring’s first verdant blush to autumn’s russet fire.Seek me out in a storm – I am immune and shun the lightning. Seek me also in your kitchen – my heart is antiseptic, cleansing the steel of knives on chopping boards and butchers’ blocks.I am the tree of wishes. If I drop a branch to you, it is an invitation; write on…

The ancient Britons named me ‘Ash’, meaning spear. In battle I served them sturdily and well – a seven foot shaft topped with an iron point. When arrows and small bows are needed, still I am found first inthe warrior-ranks. But warriors adapt, and so have I. Now you will find me everywhere – in planes, sports cars, and the handle for every gardentool in your shed; if I cannot fight, I will turn ploughshare. When coppiced, I will…
Here come the ducks
It’s raining outside, look who’s still eager to go out. These ducks, with their walking boots, are made from the often-discarded bamboo root and are imported from Bali by a fair-trade company. We feel we must point out that these importers supply us with a number of carvings; one of the more difficult products to package, yet they manage it without the slightest hint of plastic. If they can do it, anyone can. small £14 …
