The Green Man was very kind to us this year. It was great to be back under the canvas at a festival again. Seeing old friends and meeting new ones, sharing stories backlogged by a year of isolation and teaching ‘old’ things like blacksmithing to people who may not otherwise have a chance to see how these things are done.

We’ll be ‘Between the trees’ (https://betweenthetrees.co.uk/) next week and back to work hard at filling our next container of tools for Tanzania.

Speaking of that: We have recently received a donation from David King who very kindly delivered them to our depot with the help of volunteer Jeff K. All these tools are needed in Tanzania and will be given new life. We also need sewing machines. Any older model (think, ‘wow this really is quite heavy’) will be gladly accepted and sent to spring back into life in a new way.
