  • Rammed Earth – first formwork

    Whilst everywhere else seems to be covered in snow… I began the earth foundations for the greenhouse!  There will be a lot of earth ramming to come…

  • Snow 'n' Sloe

    A perfect occasion for a quiet wander in the snow and to gather a few of the last remaining sloes.  They are now happily married with some of our apples to top off a warm cake, great to munch in front of the fire!

  • Flintshare Ffynnongroyw

    The first work day on the Ffynnongroyw site, a wonderful turnout from the community and beyond.  It was quite impossible to believe that such a piece of neglected land covered in deep bramble could be transformed in an afternoon to be so clear!

    I’m not here.  I’m so small and insignificant that you will just pass me by without as much as the blinking an eyelid, in fact what you think is me is actually the blanket I am lying on.  I am but a figment of your imagination, so please ignore what your mind is telling you…

  • A few well chosen words

  • October

    This month should have seen the arrival of the performers from Pakistan taking part in the ‘Open Every Door’ Project production of Joseph. However it seems to be wrongly titled, perhaps the original Joseph production got the title right first time around – ‘Close every Door’ As that is what the UK Gov. have done…
