Autumn arrives

So the clocks have gone back and Autumn has arrived with a vengeance.  Argyle, having started to do well have suffered  two defeats, admittedly both away games.  After the hectic summer we had its nice to settle back into a normal period of life.  The wood turning is going well, but I must concentrate on my 'chisel action'.  Problem when I watch my teacher working she makes it look to easy.  Talking about woodturning, I had a look to see if I could get some recycled plastic planks to work with.  Yes its out there but large orders only.  Is it any wonder its hard to use recycled material when you can only buy in large amounts.

had a great visit to Coldharbour Mill near Tiverton the other weekend.  It was one of the rare days when they 'steamed' their steam engines.  Well worth a visit.
