No Electricity, no heating, no water, no trampoline. Thanks #stormdarragh. First three problems I can handle. However the trampoline means grumpy kids.
Time to put the survival skills into practice.

The Manchester sunshine hasn't slowed Roco down! Fantastic couple of days at #CIUK for the team.

So the first gentle winds from #stormdarragh have started moving in.

We've been upgraded to a Red Warning, so we're expecting up to 90mph+ winds tonight and into tomorrow.

Everything is cleared away or tied down. Let's see what tonight brings.

Time to guess the amount of trees we will lose.

Despite some minor issues at security for Roco, the Red Oak Consulting team are ready for the first day of #CIUK!

We're excited to be in Manchester for #CIUK over the next few days! Looking forward to connecting with the #HPC community and diving into a packed agenda. See you there!

Thermal view of beehives.

I love having a thermal camera. Managed to discover and fix many insulation problems.

It's also great for monitoring bee hives. 🐝😀

Waiting for the start of the music night.

Enjoyed a fabulous night at the theatre this evening watching my daughter perform with the county orchestra. Such a great evening pit on by the Carmarthenshire Music Service. Unfortunately no performance pictures were allowed. #musicnight #prouddada #carmarthenshiremusicservice #FfwrnesTheatre

Carding wool

Felting

Felt world

Saturday #stormbert meant an indoor Pioneer Club for a rare change. So we learnt about wool: How to card, how to spin, and how to felt. #workingwithnature #pioneerclub #outdoorlife #wool

Willow bench construction.

Fridays can be a fun day. Got to start assembling a willow bench for the outdoor shelter. No nails or glue used and only a saw, hand auger and knife. Wood was harvested from woodland to make room for oaks to flourish. #funfridays #bushcraft #outdoorfun #chillinginthewoods @gowild.wales

No Snow, and only a bit of frost the other day. You've not missed much.
