Crystals and good company

11 May 2015

An interesting course on Crystals, Meditation and the Zodiac led by acclaimed author and teacher, Judy Hall, arrived in the next valley along from us.  The last two courses that came this close were on Natural Building and on Drawing, both of which have had radical effects on my life, so with the boat in the yard, and Dave involved in engine maintenance, I took myself off to a few days of something completely different.

 A lovely group of people, lots of fun and all very interesting

 Me and fellow Leo-ascendant Ali (both above photos filched off Facebook - thanks girls!)

I offered a field trip to Goat Bottom eco-build and had five takers - from left: Julie, Lynne, Suzan, Ali and Bronwen.  Hardy types willing to risk a cross-country trek with a building site at the end of it!

Bronwen had decided to make a holiday of it, and was staying an extra week.  I suggested the boatyard experience to her, and she was willing to give it a go.  So on Tuesday she helped us launch a boat for Dave's brother Pete (who had had a fall and damaged his feet).  The technique used is ancient and involves railway sleepers covered in sheep grease and a great wooden sled
 

Undaunted, Bronwen came back on Thursday and took on polishing the metalwork on Tropi.  She only told me later that she wasn't too comfortable working that far off the ground.  Oops.  Many thanks, a lovely job, Bronwen x
