Hi Jonathon

Thank you for the excellent basket-making day on Saturday. It was great to have such an expert and patient teacher. I really enjoyed having a go at making a basket and look forward to using it for some time to come

Hi Jonathon,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for a really enjoyable day. Jackie and I are both thrilled with our baskets and enjoyed every step of the process in making them.

Thanks again,

Thanks for today! I am sitting here admiring my basket with sore thumbs! Please let me know if in the future there is any opportunity to make a dragonfly.
Best wishes
Lindsay

Hi Jonathan

Just need to say a huge thank you for today. The course was really fabulous, well paced and informative and you are a very patient teacher. I absolutely love my basket and it will get loads of use at Viking reenactment events in the future.

Thank you

Hello Jonathan
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the basket making day yesterday. It was a lovely day with great instruction – thank you.
If you will be doing any events making different items I would be very interested in attending.
Thanks again.

A man floats on a big heavy log down a brown river so wide he cannot see the sides. The river flows rapidly but to the man it appears to move slowly because he cannot see the sides of the river.

It flows so strongly that the man can only move the log small degrees to the right or left by paddling vigorously with his arms. He cannot paddle the log backwards.

So is our ability to affect change for ourselves in the universe. The course is set.

 

Be like the Willow.

If you cut the willow back to it’s stump; it only grows back more vigorously.

Be like the Willow.

 

 

The easiest mistake on earth
is to forget to appreciate what you have right now,

May the Willow Gods be with you.

The Way of the Willow is empty
When utilized, it is not filled up
So deep! It seems to be the source of all things

It blunts the sharpness
Unravels the knots
Dims the glare
Mixes the dusts

Who understands the Way seems foolish;
Who progresses on the Way seems to fail;
Who follows the Way seems to wander.

May the Willow Gods be with you.

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites.
