Welcome to heydon Hill West Wood

Decided that it was time to start a blog, though I can’t promise that I will be posting regularly. It really should be Paul writing these posts,as he spends so much more time up there than I do nowadays. Paul has been working really hard, chopping trees, to sell the wood,to drill the bore hole, to finish the barn,to make a home for us in the woods. So no pressure then. Please look at the photos, the wood framed barn is a joy to behold, some lovely joints, though you will probably notice that it is only half clad and has no roof. Time is at a premium, but we hope to have all that done by the Spring with the goodwill of friends and more trees being chopped.At the moment our friend Jane Mowatt has a beautifully carved wooden bed there under the trees where people have been coming and lying on it to gaze at the stars through the trees, hear story tellers, music and poetry.It’s all part of Somerset Art Weeks, and has been quuite magical. There are also wonderful giant nests to be discovered as you walk through. Unfortunatly it will all end on Sunday, the last day of SAW.
