Bringing in the (under-age) punters!

On Sunday 2nd of September I joined John at Loweswater Show on the National Trust stand. This was a new experience for me because although I have visited the show before it has always been as an exhibitor.
This time we were offering activities for children - badge making and 'angry birds'.  Badge making is self-expanatory; 'angry birds' consisted of four toy birds (owl, blackbird, blue tit and robin) and nest boxes of the type which the actual birds would use.

Great fun, and some frustration, was obtained by trying to throw the correct bird into their appropriate nest box. As well as an educational benefit success generated the prize of a lollypop!
We also had some adults attempting the 'angry birds' challenge and some enquiries about the Wild Ennerdale project and the extent of National Trust ownership in the National Park.
