Bloody sun

The sun shone today. Not a sign of a friendly grey cloud or the spatter of warm drops of rain. Or even cold ones.

Ronnie smiles that smile and points me in the direction of the strimmer, the push mower and the ride on. "take your pick" she says.

How I hate gardening. How come I married a professional? I'm sure I don't remember her telling me before we got married.

Anyway, once I had suffered enough for one day, I went back into the workshop and switched on the compressor. I have enough stock out there now in various places so I don't need to do any basic turning. Its back to decorative work for a while.

I'll post some pics of progress in the next day or two.

One piece of yew has been sitting on the bench, daring me to finish it for six months now. I just haven't been able to get it 'doing' anything. I think, maybe, that its started in the right direction now. We shall see. Its surprising how long some things can take to come together.

Some things never do of course, no matter how long you stare at them.
