Winter articles here

As the clocks went back and Halloween slipped by unnoticed, it dawned on me that winter is fast approaching – and I’m excited. I love winter, for not only the stars, wood fires and slower pace of life but because I suddenly get all interested in my website once more – in virtual housekeeping.

So, I’m announcing an ambitious plan to actually sort out all my disparate web pages and get it organised so I can post quality information for you. The plan is to get interesting and informative posts here on the Five Senses website, give you connections to all the resources I know about and keep it interesting.

All this needs Rachel’s support because I don’t know the back end of a computer from a vacuum cleaner or microwave. We all have to specialise, focus on our strengths – and mine is teaching navigation, fire making, survival skills and operating hostels, exploring Orkney and being a walking guide.

So, please keep one eye on this blog – I’m going to be posting info up here about Natural Navigation, the best books and resources, fire making master classes, wild plants and recipes, creative shelter building, Orkney trees and such like.

For now, however, the sun is shining and like a moth to the light – I’m off!

Winter cannot come soon enough, so I can actually write!

Cheers – and have a wonderful Bonfire night.
