The weather forecast didn't look too good...
But we were DETERMINED to defeat the rain and carry on as normal!
Off we set in the minibus over on the ferry to Cornwall
Passing the daffy-down-dilly and cabbage fields on the way...
First things first: Lemon drizzle cake and a cup of tea while the rain and wind LASHED the minibus. We were fine, we were all cosy inside right?!
Warmed tummys and ready for a snooze, Chris the Project Officer announces we are to alight from the minibus....
WHAT????!!! In that weather?!
Yup! So waterproof cladding began....
Head-to-toe waterproofed... or so we thought!
Out came the loppers, slashers, grass hooks, bowsaws....
Round of names and 'what would you be if you were an animal?', followed by the 'tool talk' and we braved the gale!
....Julia Newt, Hayley Lemur, Rob Dog, Pete Polar Bear, Julz Wolf, Sam Stag, Ngaio Cat, Laura Pug, Esther Bird, and Chris Monkey....
In the howling wind and rain, we began a bonfire to burn all the cut vegetation...
Proper forest-school styleee. No we haven't forgotten the techniques Emily! :D
YES! We have FIRE!
Well, a small fire anyway. Before the heavens opened even wider and literally BUCKETS of water fell from the sky...
The Camera got a bit 'moist'...
And so did we!! Before long, we fired up the storm kettle ready for a nice cup and tea and lunch.... in the minibus of course! We didn't want soggy sandwiches as well!!
Overall a good day despite what the weather had in store for us!
See you next week peeps! :D
