  1. I no longer have a garden so make do with window boxes and pots. My mum has bought me some gardening gloves with plastic tips so I can dig in the pots without using a trowel.  I would so love eBay to go away she buys some rubbish.

    Oh please don’t say that Phil, I’m reaching that this year too, I’m looking upon it as ‘the new 50’ which only seems 5 minutes ago. 

    A friend of mine has not had a birthday for a number of years she has a celebration day, we all know that she reaches her "milestone" this year. I think we shall have to design a special poster that doesn't mention her age.

  3. Silas does not go out if it's raining/snowing/windy or hot he only goes out when HE wants to. Maisie  is not fussy as long as the walk is not to long only time she wants to stay out is when there is snow, only thing they have in common is laziness/eating and finding best place to sleep.

    11h x 17l x10w cm. Made it from an offcut of MDF. Thank you for your kind words.  hellothere I can make them smaller .

    You said that you could make the stools smaller are these sizes to small ...2.5 h/4.5w and 3cms deep. This is 12th scale that I use in my dolls house if you could make in this size I would be a regular customer, I can see them in a lot of Victorian kitchens. You are a very talented artist a lot of miniaturists would love to have your pictures in their mini houses. Gem

    Made me own little wheelbarrow. And it's with my most grateful thanks to Carni and LizzieM. Without whose help I would still be dithering in the quagmire. X

    BK if you ever feel like entering the world of dolls house miniature your painted wheelbarrow would be an instant best seller. There are many mini items that would benefit from your talent.

    I'm drooling over a CNC small router..Sorry Ben "Computer Numerical Controlled".  I can see it getting lots of usage, but will be later in the year before I get one, then a 3d printer and 3d scanner. I love tools even though they find me more work to carry out.

    3d printer ......in simple language for me, can it make anything that will scan am thinking of miniature furniture. I have had a look at the information on line which makes it look easy (ish) but will I need lots of extras to make it work.

    I grew my first beard out of frustration when I worked at Boulby Potash mine, It was either five o clock shadow or pure torture at work.

     

    On Friday I was chatting to an American couple in the pub and he said that as a young man he worked at Boulby before emigrating. I mentioned that i knew of someone that had also worked there, he worked there early sixties and was known as big red he stood at over 6ft with a red beard. I never asked how long he worked there but if you had crossed paths I think you would have remembered.   He still had his beard but no longer red, when I read your post I though what an odd coincidence.

    Laughable and sad maybe ?

    More sad than anything to see members picking on each other, after all they are only words. Like other members this site helps me keep in touch with the Nottingham of a loved one's youth that we were not part of, if the comments and postings of a certain person upset you DON'T READ THEM......

    "  I swear those rotten dogs laughed. "

     

    They do, I know. Mine are the same but only if they are together. They look at each other and their facial expression changes to, what can be only interpreted as, a laugh.

    So true i slipped on the grass a few weeks ago all i hurt was my pride. The greyhound was dancing around me the bulldog sat with his head on one side sure he was trying not to laugh.
