January brought some sharper temperatures with heavy frost, but beautiful sunshine later in the day. Eating in the warmth of the sun on the field, in preference to the shade of the outdoor dining area, was very appealing. This prompted the construction of a couple of child size picnic tables.
In common with much of the work at Tarly, the tables and benches are made of pallet wood and pieces of sleeper. This reuse of materials reflects our emphasis on sustainability.
