The next day was a day of different workshops and stalls to launch the opening of Ysgol Llanfawr Outdoor Classroom, where the kids are taught how to grow organic vegetables etc. There was two particular workshops I was interested in, one was making benches and the other was spoon carving. The bench making was run by a great guy called Azz who had brought with him a hand made slave horse which grips the wood so you can carve things such as the bench legs etc. Azz was a fasinating guy who up until recently had been living in 3 interconnected yurts, but recently decided to build himself a straw bale house, as this was as cheap as replacing the canvases on his yurts !! He invited me up to see his straw bale house sometime when we are close by, something I'll look forward to. I also made some new friends, which I hope to met up with again in the future.
