Through the Forest Window: S1E2 - "Summer Transitions (2010)"

Join Terry Kelly for the second episode of Through the Forest Window as he explores that first summer at the cabin following his father's passing. Through detailed logbook entries from June to September 2010, discover how this woodland sanctuary became a place of connection, adventure, and new beginnings.

From encounters with wolf spiders to ambitious bike journeys on old railway beds, from friends helping with construction to children building their own cabins in the woods, this episode captures the cabin's evolving role in Terry's life. Follow along as he visits his father's childhood home in the Irish settlements of Hastings Highlands, records music in the solitude of the forest, and works alongside his brother to continue building both the cabin and family bonds.

Experience the beauty, humour, and meaning found in a place built with determination—sometimes stubbornly hauling supplies by mountain bike through mud pits and protruding rocks. This is a story of finding your way in the woods, always with good company.

Special thanks to Emma and Chloe for sharing their childhood perspectives through their own logbook entries.
