Drumming Workshop

It is organized by the brothers of Charity and it is for 10 weeks session. We are all very keen to go to the drumming session. Our music tutor, Michael, comes with a lot of african drums in all kind of shapes and sizes.

This is an instrument that anybody can enjoy playing. We are learning a couple basic rhythms to play together. As long as the basic rhythms are kept, it is quite fine to add different rhythms and sound. It makes the session even more lively.

Open Day

We have had our open day on 17th of April in Clai house. We were fortunate to have very good weather and it made everybody present here happy. Our local friend, Tom Ryan came for support and played irish music.

It was wonderful to meet some new people with different interest. It happend that we were looking after a new born lamb and a goat for 2 months and they entertained the children. Our neighbor's horse, Misty, was busy taking some children for a ride.

We showed them around the community, including the new weaving workshop building and the vegetable garden. It is Martin's first year to grow some vegetables as a main gardener and we are very happy to see the result. A lot of the visitors made positive comment on the work.

Regarding the new weaving workshop, we hope that we will get some more support to finish it off.

Ash Trees

Before the spring, we have planted about 400 ash trees on the slope in front of Clai house. As the house is exposed on a hill, hopefully, in a few years time, they can give a kind of shelter in windy days.

Eventually, they'll provide us some firewood for the hoses. We actually, thought that they might have died after the heavy frost in winter time. It seems that they have started show the signs of life and most of them seem to be well.
