A full weekend for us, a carving demonstration on Saturday in Barrow, and again at Sewerby Hall on Sunday; luckily we didn’t have far to travel for the first, just round the corner in fact, and we had a fantastic day meeting many of our fellow villagers for the first time since our move.<\/p>\n

The carving demonstration \/ participation was a great success, with children having a go throughout the blustery day. Children never fail to enjoy this activity, it’s a shame so much of this has left the curriculum in schools.<\/p>\n

I started carving a running hare, and Sophie and Spencer were among the first to join in:<\/p>\n

\"allen-stichler-woodcarving\"<\/a>\u00a0 So far so good, Sophie…<\/p>\n

\"allen-stichler-wheelbarrow-open-gardens\"<\/a>\u00a0 It’s simple for Spencer …<\/p>\n

\"allen-stichler-wheelbarrow-open-gardens\"<\/a>\u00a0 Daniel deep in concentration…<\/p>\n

\"allen-stichler-wheelbarrow-open-gardens\"<\/a>\u00a0 Alex in action…<\/p>\n

Jodie was the most enthusiastic participant of the day, having plenty of goes and even offering to carry the log to our car at the end!<\/p>\n

All the children received a certificate to prove their achievements with a chisel.<\/p>\n

Amanda White from Radio Humberside \/ Look North, there to judge the wheelbarrows, had a go too…<\/p>\n

Not quite good enough for a certificate though, maybe next year!<\/p>\n

As a Punch and Judy fanatic it was great to get some pictures of Professor Billy Biscuit and his puppets, carved by the famous Bryan Clarke.<\/p>\n

After popping home to warm up and have a brew, it was back to the Market Place to watch the Grimsby Morris Men do their stuff.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"allen-stichler-grimsby-morris-men\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"allen-stichler-grimsby-morris-men\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"allen-stichler-sewerby-hall\"<\/a>\u00a0 Tea break<\/p>\n

Much of the same here, with children and a few adults trying their hand at carving. Here’s the result of the weekends work:<\/p>\n
