    David has been around and about taking photographs of our site the old fashioned way… Film, not a memory card in sight.

    We have three of David’s prints to give away. To be in with a chance of winning one of the three 10” x 8” prints, you need to answer the following question:

    What is the name of the man who built the Druids Temple folly?

    Clue…The answer can be found by having a nosy around our website.

    Please submit your answer, along with your full name to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) 

    The three winners will be announced on Friday 23rd March. Your information will not be used for any other purposes than the competition entry. Only one submission per person.

  • Snow, wind and rain stop nothing!

    The weather has continued to throw itself at us over the last month or so, you’ll be glad to know it’s done nothing to stop us! This is a little video snippet showing a snowy day back in December.

  • Florence Briah

    On July 28th I had an amazing labour - and gave birth to a gorgeous little girl, called Florie Briah. For 7 days we loved, kissed, played, learnt, lived, slept, fed, dreamt.

    On July 28th I had an amazing labour - and gave birth to a gorgeous little girl, called Florie Briah. For 7 days we loved, kissed, played, learnt, lived, slept, fed, dreamt. On the seventh day our dear Florie got poorly very quickly and was flown to hospital.

    The next day after a good fight, she left her body and us here on earth.. and she now is playing a new song in heaven. This has obviously been a real hit for us… a painful journey began and we are still in baby steps with our new song. But we are peaceful… and we are supported and loved.

    Bivouac has taken a second seat for a while… not to say we are not giving the vision our attention… but maybe not as full as it was and will be again.

    The Bivouac is an expression of many things we are and have experienced in losing Florie… I am looking forward to this place being somewhere where people leave better than when they arrived… whatever that looks like.

  • Tinkering School

    We’ve been having lots of discussion about health and safety at the Bivouac.

    We wondered what you thought of the Gever Tulley and his Tinkering School… We love it!
