The swallows have reared two fledglings this year. Two died, possibly because of the difficult weather and scanty food. The survivors have flown the nest and we hope that they will have a good life and come back next year. They bring such happiness with them ā¤ļø

It was a beautiful Open Afternoon at the quarry on Sunday. A mixture of woodland walkers, green woodworking enthusiasts and the simply curious. A few tried their hands with the draw knife and the pole lathe. Cake was eaten…
And perfect weather šŸ™ŒšŸ™šŸŒæ

Like everyone else I’ve been hampered in preparing for the chair making season by the weather. So following polite mentions of a leaky roof by some of my course participants who stayed overnight in the horse box, I decided to use this time to do a refit.
Note the shiny black roof. Marine ply coated with epoxy resin for the walls… If you’ve ever done this yourself you’ll know that it needs an ambient temperature of 20C. I didn’t know but found out through experience.
So I’m now doing this at home, which means there won’t be much cooking going on for the next few days.
I’m fond of my horse box. Apart from its being a berth it’s also a mobile workshop for green woodworking demonstrations.
