We're looking for willing and enthusiastic helpers from September 17th -21st. If your looking for some fresh air, clean living, organic food and good honest outdoor work then this volunteer call maybe for you. We have a huge amount of space here and rely heavily on volunteers to help us maintain the Temple, the herb garden, the medieval fort, the list goes on. We are so lucky and privileged to live here. Spending some time here may help you gain a holistic understanding and connection to the land, sea and sky through sharing the Celtic Druid appreciation of Nature. You'll get an introduction to permaculture principals, experience off grid electricity generation, natural reed bed sewage treatment systems, forest gardening principals and techniques.

Found this yesterday on an oak in our local Park. Apparently according to google search:

The mushroom can be prepared in most ways that one can prepare chicken meat. It can also be used as a substitute for chicken in a vegetarian diet. Additionally, it can be frozen for long periods of time and retain its edibility. In certain parts of Germany and North America, it is considered a delicacy.

In some cases eating the mushroom "causes mild reactions . . . for example, swollen lips" or in rare cases "nausea, vomiting, dizziness and disorientation" to those who are sensitive.[4] This is believed to be due to a number of factors that range from very bad allergies to the mushroom's protein, to toxins absorbed by the mushroom from the wood it grows on (for example, eucalyptus or cedar or yew) to simply eating specimens that have decayed past their prime. As such, many field guides request that those who eat Laetiporus exercise caution by only eating fresh, young brackets and begin with small quantities to see how well it sits in their stomach.

Laetiporus sulphureus has potent ability to inhibit staph bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), as well as moderate ability to inhibit the growth of Bacillus subtilis.

Some species, especially Laetiporus sulphureus, are commonly known as crab of the woods, sulphur shelf, chicken of the woods, the chicken mushroom, or the chicken fungus because many think they taste like chicken.

This is a project I worked on over the summer with a youth group and a local tidy towns committee. I'm so proud of all the hard work that went in to creating this. I ran a competition with the local schools to name the Dragon and a young lady won with the name Uasal which is Irish for Noble. It's in the safe hands of the Tidy Towns committee now making it's way around the county!
Love It!

Thank you for a great weekend of celtic culture, warfare tuition & fun xxx Pam n Jack



Just a short note to say thanks for a fantastic weekend. There is nothing quite like being huddled around a fire in the rain in the company of like-minded folk to rejuvenate the spirit;-)
The usual mix of banter, good food, cracking yarns,  interesting company, ferocious ironmongery, arts, crafts & trees, fun things to do, the hunt for blue sky, and the odd surprise chucked in for good measure - it can't be beaten.
.....Dave
Thanks to everyone there. I had a great time and really enjoyed myself. Looking forward to meeting up next year.
......Clint
