    I don't think SWMBO is going to appreciate the collection of interesting sticks and funghi that I've been lovingly collecting and drying in my office for her :-?

    : -l) <= Someone do this to me please! I hate Valentines Day because I thinks it's the worst commercialised "event" ever.

    Of course, I still have to get her something because the card companys say I must and that's what the rest of the country does!!

    I can't believe out of all these bushcrafters I was the only one out carving a "love spoon" today. How else would you express your love.

    I am not saying I carved a great love spoon, just a normal spoon with a heart on the end of the handle. Did the job though.

    Save your money people, save your money.

    Went to the woods to work on the field archery course. Got rained on, so went to the pub for soem lunch and a nice couple of shandies.

    Got Mel a Safari Snorkel for her birthday

    You got to keep playing, much better than cards and chockies.

    As they say in all the corny movies, just get a piece of wood and cut away everything that is not a love spoon.
