After the high winds at the end of last year, our poor tipi was rather the worse for wear, so we sent it off to The Sail Yard in Killinchy to be repaired, and they made an excellent job of it. This season we were determined to put it up well, and so after no less than four attempts and three days, we were happy with it. Now all the poles are marked and numbered, we know which ropes work best where, and how best to put up the liner. Lyra love it…

It’s getting out of the top, Dad.

 

and it is great to see it back in use. Friends have stayed there, and we got to spend our first night under canvas for some time.

The atmosphere of light and smoke are unique.
