Going to busy on the lathe!

Having had to chop the two flowering cherry trees at the end of the drive, as they had fungus problems, I have started to cut the trunks up, and some of those lumps into slices….

Space on the drive…

The Landie has gone! It needed various things doing to it…replacing springs, seals…so I thought I would move it on and get an easier vehicle. I will miss the Landie Series 2 Club too….

Success at the Brewery!

Drone Valley Brewery help a Bake-Off competition recently…the rules being that the ingredients had to be sourced locally. At the Chatsworth Country Show, a few weeks before, I had seen wheat being milled, so I bought some. The wheat field had been grown at nearby Eastmoor. Then, using locally buzzed honey, and beers from…you can guess where….I made a couple of loaves of bread..one containing a stout ale, the other ‘Land of Hop and Glory’
The loaves were on display, along with a tub of butter and a carving knife. Slices went down very well with all there….and I was so pleased to then be awarded the trophy!
