There is something pure and innocent about long summer days. Camp 2 finished off with glorious weather and a lot of water themed fun and learning. We went to see a hidden, now unused well and imagined how important these communal wells once were before the water came out of a tap.The Corsallagh river is always a hit with every group and it's such a good opportunity to talk about water safety in and around water features in general. Some children enjoyed 'fishing', while other loved splashing around or just sit by the river amongst wild flower
We still had our nature strolls, always unpredictable what we will find. Our camera showed off fox activity, some young curious ones as well. The last evening allowed time for roasted stickbread and marshmallows, sitting around the fire, chilling in hammocks and a game of good auld hide and seek.

Day 2 of Camp two which is a refreshing mix of mainly 7-11 year olds, two thirds are boys.Would you believe that except one child all have been at the nature camp year after year...some even five times.... So much about statsπŸ“Š.
Sure I am absolutely honoured and try my best to create new ideas and experiences.
We had a hedgerow and wildflower walk and loads of sensory activities like herbal salt making, tea taster session, exploring animal life wild and domesticated and paid a visit to our forest which is being cut down at the moment. . ...and tomorrow it's all about water, wells and the importance of clean streams, loads of fun and games. Water safety for sure gets also highlighted.... always an important topic πŸ’¦πŸš°πŸ‰

The last day was all games, a scavenger hunt, campfire and snores and the popular dip in the river....

Day 2 is .... Sensory....loads of it .... highlighting fragrant and tasty plants, freshly brewed herbal teas, trees, carnivorous plants on the bog and bog myrtle, a natural midge repellent ... Also kneading clay and making gentle music along with our new sensory walk, exploring the feeling of walking barefoot over pebbles, moist moss and spruce cones reflecting a forest floor, sand, wood chip and even soft feathers...
And then we discovered the magic of a bog but also the dangers of stepping into a big hole, picking up litter, relaxed in the hammocks while having lunch there and played an all time favourite 'duck, duck, goose.

Ever wondered what little heroes look like....well here we go....
1. day of camp 1 and its lashing rain. ..
But we didn't despair, ....we still went on our nature stroll, doing some wildlife tracking and farm animal watching....and instead of lunchtime in the hammocks it was seeking shelter in the Loghouse....and heY, think about the poor people suffering under a heatwave around the 40 degrees mark.

We all have our own vision of the 'ideal garden'.....don't get blinded by glossy gardening magazines or promising offers....
Take a chair or a mat or sit or lay down on a sheltered spot.....and soak it all in....let your senses loose ....and allow them to connect to the land.
Sounds 'hippie' alright.....but your personal space should be there for you, hug you in difficult times and whisper to the people who will be the next custodians of the land about your dreams, achievements and failures....
In the last few days I visited various gardens and I start off with Callow gardens near Foxford of my friend Rose....I never get tired of visiting her enchanting place ....

The countdown has begun .. the camps are starting next week and my head and heart are buzzing looking so much forward to welcome these.nature loving children back....
While planning the routes to the various surrounding habitats, like bog, forest, woodland, meadow and river I came across so many wildflowers that I couldn't resist taking close up pics of so called 'w**ds'... All of these plants are soil specific and play an important role within 'the circle of life''.
Let me know your favourite 'w**d' if you like....πŸ’šπŸŒ³

Last week I felt truly honoured to be asked helping to raise the 10.th green school flag at St. Michaels NS in Cloonacool. What a fantastic achievement for the pupils, teachers and staff alike.
Best wishes to all the sixth class students leaving NS now starting secondary school in September.

Another nature retreat today with a group of curious and nature loving women...
The weather was just right to explore our hedgerows and learning about the biodiversity and importance of these green wildlife corridors. We also remembered all the old men who once rambled along these country lanes, did some Journaling, made fragrant herbal salts, sipping rose elderflower cordial , chilled in the hammocks, roasted marshmallows, shared solstice stories and got spoiled once again by Eileen's Kitchen Table .
Thanks so much to the Tubbercurry Frc for organising and connecting for life Sligo/Leitrim for sponsoring this event....and thanks to everyone who came along....πŸΎπŸ¦‹πŸ•πŸŒ»πŸŒ³
