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!
Great read. Love the Standing Stones and the sanctuary shelter you built. There’s nothing better than sitting by a glowing fire on a crisp cold evening with food cooked on the flames and a beer after a day working or walking out in the elements. I hope one day to have a little stove and a shelter of my own. It’s good to see the fruits of your vision and labour 👍🏼
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.
