The weather held off so we didn't get soaked but plenty of cups of tea were needed to keep our fingers from going blue.

The response we got was awesome and we…

Celtic knot work is perhaps the most widely recognisable art from early times.  Despite extensive study, the Celts remain one of the most illusive and unknowable of ancient cultures.  This stems largely from the fact that the Celts appear to have relied extensively on an oral tradition for the passing on of knowledge and skills.
