This week i am chilling out with my "better half" as it were. my self and my girlfriend are going for a couple of days away, a nice long walk up a nice long river on the border of Wales.
Where is this post going, well.... Hostels, well Youth Hostels to be presise.
Why are they called this? well they are over night places for "the youth" well that was the original plan.... i have stayed in YHA a fair few times and i love them, for £20 you get a Bed and Breakfast! how good is that! ok so its Dorms... but some times you are with some really intesting people! and have a look at some of there places they are in! from london to oxford to durham and all over the uk! Some of the buildings them selves are really intresting, for example, a castle on the welsh border, an old co op in the peak district, and a Custom built one in Oxford (thats REALLY REALLY nice!)
Ok thats all for this post

once a month?
Once a month i meet up with a fairly big group of men (and a few ladies) to study the noble art of wood turning. Why? well partly (and its a big part) cos i enjoy it. Its an amazing feeling to take a piece of wood, And with a Sharp tool and by spinning it you can create some amazing items, anything from Candle holders to apples to well anything!
oh did i mention i am the youngest there? by at least 8 years, the next youngest is 10 years younger than the next youngest member. Why are we getting away from crafts? and getting taken by computers and consoles and stuff.
Well PEOPLE (and i mean you younger ones) go out and learn a traditional skill, its much more fun... and you can earn money from it!
