However, due to other commitments, I am having to start writing this weeks blog post early, but it is still current.
May Day Makers Market ......
All set up & raring to go, they, along with our resident makers, patiently waited for people to come along and see what was on offer.
Overall, it was probably OK, but not exactly bursting at the seams - perhaps post election blues!, but whatever the reason we plough on regardless.
The 'Wobbly Bodger' is coming to town!! ......
Now this promises to be something really special, and not to be missed.
Looking at his website Gary Joynt - 'The Wobbly Bodger' - says -
We are passionate about keeping alive some of the traditional heritage crafts from around the world. As the world became mechanised, production increased and heritage crafts declined in popularity giving way to modern, faster manufacturing methods.
Our intention is to keep alive some of the traditional and not so traditional heritage crafts under threat in our fast and busy world. All our products are handmade from seasoned and green wood and each item is unique and individual
I know that Gary will be putting on a good day for us, and, when I spoke to him last weekend - when he popped over to the Makers Market, if you are really good he might let you have a 'bodge'.
Now! how can you resist an offer like that!

Bricks, cement, builder ......
None of the work will affect the daily operation of the Yard, but if you see a builder, give him a cheery 'Hello' & make him feel welcome - but no toilet jokes please!
