Sharon, spoon carving attendee: "A massive thank you for an absolutely brilliant day  learning to carve wooden spoons. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute! It was such a pleasure to pick up new skills, and you taught us in such a friendly, safe, and easy way. Your patience and clear instructions made it all so enjoyable and rewarding. We were genuinely impressed with how quickly we got the hang of it, all thanks to your guidance."

Pippa, bat walk attendee: “Thank you so much for guiding us on the bat walk.  I learnt a huge amount and enjoyed listening to you talk about bats. It was lovely to hear from someone who is so enthusiastic. It was a very enjoyable and informative evening and I we would all be booking again next year."

Jayne, Autumn craft attendee: "Thank you so much for the autumn craft session. Our granddaughter absolutely loved it and we really appreciate how much effort goes into organising these events."
