That was interesting, More than that, but I dont have a word for it. I got a similar sensation when watching someone flint knapping. I have passed your workshop before on the way down from Kinder, Will say hello, if you are in next time

Glad you enjoyed it, flint knapping is something I have always fancied and I am booked for a day learning with John Lord later in the year.

That is brilliant. I actually met George when I was a littleun. I was taken up to his shed by my dad. My mum came from Turners Green Bucklebury. I have one of his signed bowls dated March 30 1957. Keep going with the bowls mate.

That's nice to hear. I have visited and set up on turner green several times over the years and met a lot of folk that used to visit, they all have nice memories.

You mean that you actually took your stuff and set up on the common where the hut was? If so if you look down the steep little hill, that is where my family lived in a little cottage.

Only it's not such a little cottage any more. One of the interesting things about being there was meeting the mix of new folks...air line pilots etc and old folk. And especially hearing the stories about how kids used to play on the common...sad that they don't any more.

I am hoping to go and have a look in July but I am 350 miles from there now. And I meant to say " I didn't realise how hard work it was until I saw you doing it."
