Campfire burning

This campfire was much needed on Saturday.... it was an eventful few hours at the top of the field.
Mark, Tel and Asimina worked hard on sawing a wedge into a tree that we needed to cut down. . and then the men pulled it down using some rope and a few heave ho s. There was also the shocking moment when the swing broke while Mark was on it.....we guess its been there for about 10 years and the wooden beam holding the ropes of the swing had rotted. Mark was fine. Tel also stood on one of the benches around the campfire and it just broke in two.
We really do need to spend some time up there. . there is now lots of wood to cut up and new benches and a swing to rebuild!!!
We went for a walk on Sunday to visit the alpacas and goats on the other side of the river.
