What a wonderful adventure! It takes some incredible forethought to gather material for 2 years before building a project!
We have a state park in my general area called Fort Mountain that has some ancient stone rings built on it. The legend is that a Welsh prince Madoc came to the new world and built it around 1170 ad. Its fascinating to see structures this ancient and virtually lost to history!
It is a fascinating story, just hard to know what is real vs myth. Supposedly the native people referred the Welsh as the 'moon eyed' people and several hundred years later officially documented European explorers reported encountering a tribe of fair skinned, blonde or red haired people.
Lovely read as ever! It sounds like you had a weekend of ‘mind’ spring cleaning as well as building and adventuring. I like it too when I can get things sorted that are niggling away at the back of my mind. It’s always a good feeling. And that you thought about the things you missed from the last home and wanted to establish again. Some things we don’t need anymore and some things we do. Great project and workmanship Groves’ 👨👩👦
Very enjoyable reading. Thanks Andrew. I’m glad you’ve managed to build your outside workshop/woodshed/refuge/etc. it looks great. I can imagine how nice it is with the stove crackling away! Wishing you all much happy time in/out there. Cheers
Thanks for the photos! They really gave me a sense of place.
It is a thing of beauty. How life affirming to gather, create, build and make fire. So many connections to the old ways. Thank you for your words.

Thank you Erik! I had not heard of that legend before - super interesting! Going to go and look that up now...

Thank you, Joan. It feels good to have things a little straighter for sure - hopefully I can keep on top of it!

Thanks David. It's a relief to get it done - now I just have to find some time to use it!
