“Hi Lloyd & Lew,

On some of my recent wanders I have been finding bush crafter debris shelters within the woodlands. If you have a moment I thought these might give you a smile. It looks like some of the local kids have been building some of them (the one I call the tree hugge r) but the latest batch have been quite

large and well made. Perhaps it is a group of bushcrafters or scouts getting some practice or the kids are getting really good at them. I enjoy the fact that the ancient art of den building is still alive and well, it brings back fond childhood memories for me.…

As always, I am enjoying your blog and the shelter twitter feed. They both make a great bit of escapism in a working day!

Best wishes,
