Discovery of charcoal as a natural artist’s medium

A new term has brought conditions very different from before Easter. The battle with freezing conditions and endless flooding has been exchanged for beautiful sunshine and parched, hard and cracking ground.

There remains evidence of a term when we kept warm by making fires. The highlight of the first couple of days back was when one little chap found a piece of charred wood and, without any prompt, used it to draw on a fresh piece of timber an image of himself. He had never done it before. What a discovery!
