The Storyteller (Rob Soldat) - by Jawahir

We were in a beautiful ti-bi in the green field near the house that we live in and Robert ” a story teller” was with us in the ti-bi. He made an interview with us for the BBC radio. He asked us about the offscreen project and how did we enjoyed our trip in the different countries in UK. After that he started to tell us wonderful stories. The stories were short but we enjoyed them very very much. He said that the stories are traditional but each story teller has to use his own way of telling these stories. We all listen to him carefully because he was very good.

Hay on Wye - Aysha’s blog

Hye on wye ! What a beautiful country. When we first arrived there my first impression was how beautiful and quite this place is. We went a house in a farm, surrounded by sheeps and flowers and such a nice things. The day after we woke up in the morning and start on doing our art work, after a very serious discussion about it. Then we went to the black hills and start on doing these funny things together and Barny kept on filming us and laugh at us. It was really nice to step up on the top and see these colorful views. Its beautiful when you see all kind of green colours. Its just makes you feel free and enjoying the beauty of life. After that we went for the first time for me canoeing it was on the wye river. Juliet, the woman who took us to the place where we took the canoes and wear the life jackets. As soon as we got there everyone start to get into the canoe and start pushing the paddle forwards and backwards. It was so much fun, all of us were laughing at each other. It was a bit difficult but we became very good at it. I just hope I can do this some other time because I really had fun on doing it.

Abir’s Blog - Day 10

Living in a busy city and always meeting people, make us forget the real beautiful life in nature. The visit to Hye on Wye made us realize that we need more than money and people, and discover more about who are we and what we want from life. We climbed the Black Hills, where we had the opportunity to see an incredible scene for Wales from the top. After that we went on a boat trip, which I never done before, although we have plenty of wide and fantastic rivers in Lebanon. It was little boring in the beginning but it turned to be more exciting when it became a competition between us, the girls, and the guys. Although we missed up we went through real funny accidents where some fell down and other were stuck between stones. This trip let me figure out how much we can benefit from surrounding nature and enjoy it without destroying it.
