Is anyone interested in sharing a plot at Springfield allotments in Knowle? ( If you have been to one of our events at the roundhouse its on the same site)

It's a slopped plot with a shed, tools and fire pit with beautiful views over Bristol.

Looking for a few people to share and help grow the plot.

If anyone is interested and wants to have a look at the site get in touch here or email [email protected]

Share with any wanting to get growing 🌱

Hoping tonight will be clear as all the planets in our solar system align

What will you be sacrificing?

The fire
draws us in
brings us together
keeps us warm
like it has for thousands of years.

There is something about a fire that us humans love.
We can't wait to get around the fire again
to slow down
and celebrate the beginning of Spring 🌱

Lovely wander to we have been meaning to go for ages. A world of creativity and lush vegan cafe too.
Then explored the local woods and found a waterfall.

Catch the 376 to Glastonbury and get off at Cameley rd surgery, a short walk through the countryside to get there.

Anyone got any walks using public transport from Bristol please recommend 💚

Does anyone want to go on a nature walk and learn names of plants and trees, their uses and folklore?

Using books and apps and sharing what knowledge we know.

We have a WhatsApp group if you want to join in. Anyone can start a walk and we can share it on here.

Some inspiration for Sunday's art club.

Come and hide from the rain and the daily distractions and get creative. The fire will be on from 11am - 1pm.

Chat and exchange ideas or sit by the fire in your own world.

The idea is just to switch off from all the going ons in your mind and focus on something enjoyable that can be drawing, reading, knitting anything you like.

We have lots of pencils and magazines for collaging. Bring any extra materials you want.

Let us know if you can make it and your favourite biscuit.

Come and switch off, go off line, off grid and get creative!

Our first art club will be on Sunday 26th January 11am. We will have a rough theme of birds but you don't have to stick to it. Come and draw, collage, read, knit whatever you like.

We will be by the fire in the roundhouse on the lovely Springfield allotments. Tea and biscuits and some art supplies will be provided.

Art is for everyone so everyone is welcome. £5 tickets on headfirst.

Got the next two days off so hoping to find the time to make some new folklore paper puppets. Here’s some of the ideas I have found so far…keen to do a Blemmyae, mythical? Perhaps. The Blemmyae were human in form yet had one striking feature that their faces were located not above the shoulders, but below. Here one Blemmyae wears a fetching red hat. But the possibilities of how to dress a Blemmyae could be fun.

Strawboys. Morris jiggers. Horses and these really unique costume designs from the Schembart Carnival of 1590, where the trending accessory was an artichoke in hand.

Decisions decisions.

Winter sun! Is it too late to say happy 2025!

We have yet to make a list of things we'd like to do this year.

Last year we had food night, hobbit celebration, ceilidh and a sea themed evening on the list ☺️

There are a few things we didn't get around too and if anyone wants to collaborate we are always up for something new. Send us an idea/message.

We are planning a walk and draw/create meet up on Jan 26th more details in the next few days....

+ Hopefully a film evening in the roundhouse at the start of Feb too. Join our WhatsApp chat if you help decide what film!

Looking forward to celebrating the seasons with you all in 2025!!!

I’m not saying slade adapted a traditional song about the yule log, but is it just me that thinks the rhythm and lyrics fit quite well to cm on feel the noise

Probs just me.

We love a bit of fancy dress!

What are you dressing up as for our ceilidh to@or row night?

Who knows, there might be a prize for best dressed up for grabs!

11/12/2024

Will you be joining us…

Let’s get cosy by the fire…hear some wonderful music from and some extra folklore bits too, all within a beautiful offgrid allotment roundhouse. What better way to celebrate the longest night of the year.

Tea n biscuits. Always.

Go into a dark little hole and hide away til you feel ready to come out.

Make the most of Winter by doing not much at all :)

The wolves are running! Catch a rare screening of The Box of Delights series this Saturday night on bbc four

And a friendly reminder that a wonderful audio adaptation of The Dark Is Rising can still be heard on bbc sounds and is a treasure of a retelling if not just for Johnny flynn’s accompanying theme.

Sadly the numbers aren’t there for our ghost stories screening this Wednesday

If you purchased a ticket we will process your refund and apologies for not being able to do the screening

Bit gutted as nobody in Bristol does folk film screenings and we think there is an audience, but we hope to do more in the new year
