• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Chairs!!

I though you were an old hippy, not an old goth!

A combination of both perhaps? :) A gothic hippie is someone who believes in peace and love, embraces and strives to be one with nature and a higher energy (often-times through the practice of Paganism or some other New Age activity). These people generally also have a fascination with history, particularly the Middle Ages and the Victorian era. They tend to have a dark and cynical sense of humour and take very little seriously except for major issues (peace, love, social rights, ect...
 
The first one looks........oooh.........Indonesian? Thai? I prefer it to the second. And yeah, I'd love to have a go at something like that.
 
The hotel we are staying at seems to have a thing about chairs, there’s some others I’ll try to get a shot of.

Nearby I took this sneaky photos (No Photography Allowed!!) of this oak beamed ceiling built in 1398:

Oi... less of the old if you don't mind please - thank you. :lol:

I was never a hippy - not really, maybe 'ish. I never got caught up in the drug scene either, although some thought I did without saying. I was more of a Goth in my teens and was nicknamed 'Coathanger' (14+)... even wore eye liner under one eye - don't remember which one though. :P

Yep, I love some history and I likes me trees. I feel drawn to the Middle Ages (I lived in Corfe Castle during a previous life!) and I feel a close connection to the Victorian period. I definitely do not have a dark cynical sense of humour and I take everything very seriously. :lol:

Awesome! Imagine the hours gone in to making work like this - absolutely wonderful. I can only dream of getting a commission like some of this work. Marvellous! 8-)

I think the top chair with high narrow back is called a prayer stool. My folks have one similar in design.

Steve yes it is and are (didn’t visit Alnwick sadly)

Lutyens stuff at Lindisfarne Castle which is pretty empty after having a £3m (I think) restoration.
