It never fails to amaze me the joy that boys get from simple things such as lighting a fire in the woods!
The boys in this family are getting very excited about bushcraft. Mr F and James have embarked on several outings since this one, learning how to light their own fires, whittling (making things out of wood with a using a knife) and cooking their lunch on an open fire.
using a handmade stove!
Hot chocolate was welcome as the temperatures are dropping rapidly here :o
And lunch al fresco... all cooked on the handmade stove!
Followed by a spot of whittling!
The beauty of a free afternoon in the Great Outdoors!
Have a great weekend everyone ! xx
