Norfolk

We took advantage of a couple of weeks off over Easter to visit beautiful Wells-next-the-sea in Norfolk. Being bank holiday Britain we reached a barmy six degrees centigrade and gale force winds. Luckily for us the weather wasn't an issue and we took time to visit many fantastic places, such as Pensthorpe (of Springwatch fame) and Holkham Hall and beach.

As seen on Springwatch!

For wannabe birders such as ourselves, the north Norfolk coast can be an avian overload. However, £16 spent on the excellent Collins Bird Guide helped us out no end!

Things on the turning front have been quiet of late...you know the saying, "I was going to, but life got in the way...". Life (and work) has been getting in the way so I am forced to snatch any spare moments to do what I can. To keep me advancing I invested £25 in a first rate 2" smoothing chisel from the woodsmith's store (http://www.woodsmithstore.co.uk/shop/) to help achieve a smoother finish on turned work.

One big chisel...

Out in the garden we have made strides with the veggies; we have onions, garlic, tomatoes, sweetcorn, potatoes, butternut squash, peppers and marrows, strawberries and on or two others, although not quite enough to end shopping at our local super!

Until the next time...
