We really enjoyed ourselves and hoped you all did too. Although I wasn't counting, about 150 friends, family, neighbours, colleagues and woodlanders joined us for at least part of the day. Danny and his group played a fabulous three hour set in the afternoon, young people made friends and went feral, a slackline was walked and sausages and more were cinder-ised on the BBQ. I'm delighted that all the home made cider was drunk and no one has yet reported in from hospital. I'm really sorry to those who found it hard to find us, those who gave up on the way (only one I think this year), those put off by torrential rain in London and of course mostly to those of you who for one reason or another couldn't make it. We missed you!
Yet again I forgot to use the camera much but here are a few pictures anyway:
The next day, thanks to the campers, clearing up was easy. Then Heather and I went for a walk to remove all the hazard tape and flushed a family of buzzards and a fox. A very different kind of beast from the urban varieties; well fed and handsome but extremely cautious

Finally, in the hamlet next to the wood we came across this curious sight, which makes a change from trainers hung from the telephone wires. Last words perhaps "I wonder what would happen if I just had a bite of this ....."
See you next year !
