Lantern making




As usual every school holiday the Forestry Commission put on activities for the children to keep them busy - and out in the fresh air. Today we went up to Quarrelwood overlooking Elgin - each of us armed with an empty jam jar for a spot of halloween lantern decorating. We were supplied with templates and glass paints - with Rachel on hand as usual for help and advice. I think we all ended up with more paint on our hands than on the glass but never mind!! They even tied on string for handles and a tealight so we can carry them when we are out guising on the 31st.

Will try to remember to take a picture tonight with the candles lit.
