Harvesting
Harvesting has started up again and most days, we are out gathering our stocks. We have increased the size of our "flotilla" and I will have pictures for next month's issue.
Portaferry Fair Day - 21st May 2011
At the beginning of the year Strangford Lough and LeCale Partnership invited us to the "Celebrate Strangford Lough Festival" and the Seaweed Workshops. The whole week was a celebration of Strangford Lough and the surrounding areas.
The Tall Ship "Antigua" came along for the week. Unfortunately, the day that we were there, the weather was horrendous! Lashing rain and blowing a gale! The Antigua was due to take people out onto the Lough for a trip, but due to the high winds, she remained at her berth for the day. Even the face painting had to be halted because after 5 mins, you could not tell who was a "Butterfly" or a "Tiger"!
Despite the weather the kids and adults alike, loved getting their hands on seaweeds and other sea creatures. I made some seaweed wrap up so people could "get their hands dirty"! This went down a treat, especially with some Mums.
