New Toy

After playing with one of these at Burrs I just added one to the tool kit. Great for cleaning deadwood and on the lower setting, algae off bark.

2014 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 380,000 times in 2014. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 16 days for that many people to see it.

Happy Christmas

Where did this year go?

I find myself at home today, finished work for a week and tempted to open a bottle of something tasty. Apologies for the lack of posts lately, I had a near fatal experience with ‘Man Flu’ all last week but I’m glad to get it out of the way for Christmas.

Thank you to all those that follow my blog, or even just pop in now and again from a wee look. I appreciate you comments and feedback but most of all, your friendship, even if it’s from a far.

I’ll leave you with this lovely photo of one of Ken To’s sculptures, just click on the image to visit his site.

I hope you all have a great Christmas.
