'Woodwhisperers'

Frome Forest schoolers are very proud to announce that we are now called WOODWHISPERERS

New tent, new stove, new beginings.

Yes, it's true, the beautiful bell tent was more temporary than we had hoped, and blew down in the next hard winds. Undaunted (well, perhaps a little daunted) we set off into the vale where the children built their own temporary shelter for a day's Forest school. We did sadly have to cancel a couple of lessons after this, but are now ready to welcome the children again.
With lots of help, the army tent has been resurected; half the original size and twice the quality. Alex and Helen are currently creating a cosy inside with the NEW STOVE, donated to us by 'Bilbarge' to show his support for our project; MANY THANKS to him and also to Chris and Cordelia.

WELCOMED BY THE WIND

THE OLD ARMY TENT BLEW DOWN IN LAST WEEK'S WIND, BUT THANKS TO DES AND STINA HARRIS WE HAVE A TEMPORARY, BUT VERY COSY ALTERNATIVE.
