Friendly Fire
Since getting the keys to Temperance Hall a few years ago, we’ve been able to host visits from friends and family, share the vision and more often than not, have a good winge about the challenges we’ve been faced with along the way. Until now though, we haven’t been able to reciprocate the numerous invites we’ve had from the Garbutt’s over the years and show them around so, when they get a free weekend to come up and see us, it feels like a bit of a treat.
The weather isn’t being overly co-operative but the kids are happy to play together leaving the grown ups to chat, drink brews and make something for dinner. We’ve explained before about how much darker it seems near the hall than in our home town but it isn’t until you see it for yourself that it really sinks in. The stars are out and the kids are around back with the mini rocket stove, loaded up with marshmallows before making their way around the front to make some cool shapes with sparklers.
It’s been a really nice day and in a weird way, hearing other people sound enthusiastic about how the Hall has come along makes planning the next steps that much more appealing.
