Following the success of last year’s cob oven building course, we have decided to hold similar courses on the meadow during this year too.
I have always liked the idea of being able to mow areas of the meadow myself. The thought of spending a day outdoors, getting to know the meadow and listening to the birdsong around me sounds like heaven. I even have a scythe, but I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, so this is where I thought we would start.
If you too are excited by the idea of learning a new skill in the great outdoors, join us on Tuesday 7th July for a day of scything with tutor Simon Lamb. The day will start with tea and cake at 9am and will finish at 3pm, with a break for lunch somewhere in between.
We will provide the tea and cake but please bring a packed lunch with you. We do have adjustable scythes here to borrow as it is important that your scythe fits you. If you have your own please bring it along!
We have a maximum of ten spaces available and the course fee is £65 per person (£60 if you live within five miles of Ling’s Meadow). Don’t forget, if you would like to relax around the campfire after a hard day of scything a 10% discount is available on any campsite accommodation that day.
If you would like further information, or would like to book a place, contact Kath at info@lingsmeadow.co.uk, or on 01359 250594.
