Yurt Camping

Stewart and I took ourselves off to the depths  of Dorset for our 25th Anniversary holiday. Five days staying in a Yurt, Glamping at Guy Mallinsons Crafty Camping. Stewart also was booked on a two day pole lathe working course, which he throughly enjoyed along with seven other participants.

It was fantastic and I enjoyed working in my sketchbook around the magical woods, working in a Bodgers Shelter opposite a Tipee and next to a trout pond. Another day working in a large community Yurt and another day working in the Woodland Workshop with Stewart, Dudley the resident dog and Tommy the resident cat, underneath parachutes hidden in the wood, again magical!****
