A young visitor to the Open Day

Thank you to this young man and his Dad for letting us use this photo. He looks pretty fierce, doesn't he?
We all admired the work of Mandie Farren, our face painter, throughout the day.

Open Day on Saturday

We had our day once again - slight rain for only 30 minutes. The rest of the day was perfect. We enjoyed Soft Paws Rescue Charity. Birds of Prey. Animal Petting. Face Painting, one of our staff also had his face painted! Willow Weaving, all for free. Raffle. Guided Walks. Tools. Walking Sticks. Hand Crafted Cards and Bags, Wood Crafted stools, tables, chairs & post boxes and pictures for sale. Pond life was shown in a large tank as a prelude to our dipping pond. I must thank the Cabin staff especially who served refreshments for six hours non stop and Calderdale who supported us. Very well done to all.
