Christmas by the sea











No, not a place but a great way of spending Christmas if like me and Mrs M you don't find Christmas a very good experience. Went back to south-east Devon again. It's a really nice part of the world. Plus there's Axminster with Axminster Tools and now a super restaurant that serves Gluten Free pizza's and pasta. So any coeliacs reading this head for Axminster and visit Whitty's.




Produced a nice piece of woodturning in 'spalted beech', though I know Mary will find fault with it .... but I am still a beginner and she's been at for years. Did get some nice wood at Axminster Tools and the owner of the CL we stayed at let me have some of their fire logs which were well seasoned apple, lime and ash.





Posting this on what the Gregorian Calender says is new years day. Rubbish, New Years day is always on the 21/22 December when the Sun starts coming back north after it's visit to the Tropic of Capricorn. And why do the Chinese, the Muslims and the Jews celebrate a wrong date named after a Roman Catholic Pope? After all it's still Metal rabbit 4709, 1433AH and 5772 respectively with new years day all over the place and not on December 21 or January 1!!!!!
