Oops... that was unexpected. Got proper dunked there and water right up the nose. That should give my brain a bit of a wash. #brainwashing #riverdunking

The family are still away doing weird things to bunnies with chocolate eggs. I woke early and went up onto the moors and into the Dart gorge. This is Mel Pool and my poor attempt at a dive. Has anyone got any tips for diving? #riverdart #riverswimming #purebliss #crystalclearwater

What a day. The family have gone away for the weekend - something about bunnies and chocolate eggs. I don’t get it. Anyway, I spent most of the day on my own, in and along the Dart. Beautiful at this time of year and the water is warming up rapidly now. Not really cold enough to chill your beers in anymore @tanglewood_toys #loner #likemyowncompany #skinnydipping #riverswimming #notverynippypippy #skinnywhitebum

I had better luck today as I made my way down to the river. There was a buck sitting under a hazel bush and I managed to get quite close without him noticing. It was the same buck I saw last week with Lola when we went on an evening expedition. The river is now 12 degrees and pretty pleasant. #deer #riverswimming

Fresh deer print. So fresh in fact that as a stick snapped under my foot a large doe leapt out from behind a nut bush and dashed off through the woods. Rookie error - must improve my silent walking... #deerprint #tracking

Three of my favourite tools in action. Froe for cleaving, side axe for hewing, and the draw knife for smoothing it off. The axe has a lovely ring! #gatemaking #cleftchestnut #oldtools #handmade
