Huw and phil, just wanted to say a big thankyou for the fire and forge day.

My week is spent at a desk, in front of 2 screens and 3 phones so you can imagine how refreshing it was to spend a day in the woods hammering away at red hot bits of metal! To have a passable poker to take home is a real bonus too haha.

A great bunch of people were there and yours and Phil's enthusiasm was contagious. I came away from the day with three things:

A damn fine poker (even if I say so myself haha).

A fun day spent doing something I'd thought I'd never do.

A real sense of connection to my ancestors of maybe 300 years ago or maybe even 5000 years ago. The same sense of connection I had the first time I made fire with a bow drill - that knowledge that I had just done something my ancestors would have done for sure gives me a real kick.

Thanks, once again, for a great day.
