Stock Gaylard Oak Fair

I spent the day here yesterday, here are a few pics to give a flavour of the day. Lots of very interesting people to talk to about straw bale building, charcoal making, besom brooms, cider, cheese.............and of course a huge amount of wood, which is what it's all about.   Loved the Hall & Woodhouse pop up inflatable pub   The evocative sight of smoke from a charcoal burn   Copy of what they think is a still, unearthed in a dig in the Czech republic, and ongoing experiment Scything demonstrations Very good fishcakes for lunch, and some excellent local cider   Prize winning sheep and their rosettes :)   Watching the skep making is one of my favourites
