Dare we mention the 'C' word yet? Oh go on then! Well we are now collecting for a super-dooper hamper raffle we will launch in November! So if you have any spare spirits, wine, chocolates, special biscuits, or anything home produced too, we would love to include them in our special hamper.
Send us a message and one of the team can pick up anything you can kindly donate! thanking you in advance :-) We had a fantastic turnout to our Harvest Fair and Treasure Hunt! thank you so much for bringing so much food and produce, and lots of kiddies had fun in the woods finding their clues. We just love this event which is now an annual one it seems!
We had the best time last year with our Apple Day, so we are repeating it this year, but having a Harvest Fair and a Treasure Hunt instead!
September 15th - Lane End Village Hall Garden and Finings Wood Bring your donated home grown produce - fruit, veg, cakes, jams etc., up to the village hall garden at 12pm, and then come back and buy some other peoples donations from 2-4pm and enjoy tea and cakes in the Sycamore room! Bring the kids and they can enjoy a treasure hunt with you in the woods and you can then return with your stash and enjoy a relaxing cup of tea! Help us raise funds for this great mission of saving the woods for the community. We are up at the Lane End Playing fields with the lovely Sports Association's music day! lots of marshmallows being toasted. Come and visit!
Meet the Marsh Mallow Man, born of #FiningsWood and seasons past, who will be selling toasted marshmallows at the LESA Music Festival tomorrow afternoon 29.06.24 at Lane End Playing Fields.
Come and meet him on the Lane End, Finings Wood Group stand, he looks forward to seeing you. #FiningsWood community Group had a Barn Owl sat on some huge logs of Ash to greet everyone to the Lane End Village Fete & Dog Show today.
Our thank-you's for bringing the owl to life must go to Ritchard Tysoe and an enthusiastic succession of Scouts, James, Jack, Oliver, Sam, Callum and Hannah who all warmed up to the role as the sun came out right on cue and just on time. Hope I have not left anyone out in that line up. Thankyou your support it was most appreciated in drawing attention to the huge Ash logs being sold off a 9" slice at a time in aid of Finings Wood. We still have some left if anyone missed out, maybe for a creative project or feature table top 30" diameter for their garden or simply for firewood. Enquiries to Paul (page admin ) please. The blustery wind made creating the green mandela patterns from leaves and plants rather challenging, but larch twigs and fir cones, baby conkers and flowers stayed around best. Thanks too to Alison Hartnett and her excellent team for such a fabulous afternoon and to everyone who dropped by to find out what and where we are up to with Finings Wood Pauline Thomas - facebook post Just because we are quiet, does not mean things are not afoot!

The Bluebells are really just beginning to flower and looking promising. Don't you just love the drifts of beautiful blue. Mind where you tread and do post your #FiningsWood photos of them here in the coming weeks so we can all see them. Just need it to stop raining now and the mud to dry up a bit ! — in Lane End, Buckinghamshire. |
Sylvana knows all about the QR code on the poster for a link and asks have you done the Finings Wood questionnaire yet? If you have already then thankyou. #Finingswood #Chilternfootpaths #Ancientwoodland |
There was a lot of water everywhere in #Finingswood after last night's heavy rain. It made an interesting photo with the reflection of blue skies and trees in the water overflowing over the footpath. Definitely waterproof boots required. Pauling Thomas - Facebook |
