In the last week we’ve had some much needed rain. The Devonshire fields have been dry and the crops will be happy to have a good watering. The extra moisture in the air has kept our yurters on their toes although the log burners in the yurts have been keeping everyone warm. The view after the rain today across towards Exeter was the best thing the rain could have brought though. It was so clear I thought for a moment that I was in the French countryside.
We thought a fully booked workshop held at the Blackdown Yurts site would be a great reason for us to blog here on the ‘News’ section of Blackdown Yurts. Please come back to hear about what’s going on in a field near us.. The Hinterlands workshop organised by Rebecca Harley & Mike Lusmore in collaboration with duckrabbit taught photographers the skills to gather material and assemble photofilms (like the brilliant piece on the front page of our site). The workshop took over all four yurts and the field kitchen and resulted in a fifteen very happy participants and six very happy organisers. The photographers got out in the local community to work on stories at the Devon & Somerset Gliding Club, the South Devon Railway Trust and Yarak Birds of Prey to name a few. They had a great time and after completing their photofilms invited members from the local community to come and review their work over a beer before retiring to the communal bonfire to see the evening in. All in all it was a great success and we look forward to having them all back!
