Alfrick Weekend
11th-12th November 2006
We had a warm welcome from Trevor and Annette as usual, but with hardly
any rain at Ravenshill Wood this year! Work included levelling the path
next to the school room, scrub bashing alongside the main track,
replacing way-markers, clearing around the pool, repairing the car park,
carrying bricks, coppicing and more! Phew, hardly any time for eating you
might think?
Wrong. Annette once again fed the five thousand with a marvellous
Moroccan lamb stew with roasted vegetables, followed by hot apple cake
and gravy (toffee sauce). Tom refused to stop eating until there was not a
cake crumb in sight.... luckily the one in the oven managed to escape!
We cooked pasta for ourselves in the village hall on Saturday and played
those annoying 'guess the rule' games in the pub. No need to mention the
slighty less than perfect tree-felling demo. Note for newbies: they always
go wrong. No, really.
