Happy Guy Fawkes Day to all our British Turners. My son is an old Wykemist and I remember the huge bonfires in the town of Winchester. Tonight's bonfires offer a good chance to get rid of scrap wood and rejected turnings. Not that you guys ever make mistakes or admit to same. :)
Turn to Safety, Arch
Fortiter,
Thanks, Arch. That brought back some fond memories. 'Penny for the Guy', bottle rockets, out late on a cold November night!
We just had our Bonfire and our wedding anniversary on the same day 16 years yesterday
Ken Port
I got married on Hiroshima Day
That the CITY of Winchester!
My father in law was one of their cricket umpires....
Scrap wood? whats that?
Niel ;-)
Hummm, where, during cricket week, Pimms is served by the/from a 3 gallon stainless steel bar bucket!!!
Happy memories, Niel.
Thanks Arch for the thoughts. As to the mistakes, I am always making them, it is the only way to learn!
A couple of years ago I re-opened the hearth in my home and every winter my failures keep my grey cells warm and roast the Chestnuts!
Regards Peter.
Thanks for the memories, everyone.
Lobby, I bet that pence is now a pound.
Ken & Andy, Congratulations and best wishes for many happy returns of your day.
Niel, Any CITY that was the nation's capital when London was a village deserves my apology for calling it a town. BTW, Was that bar bucket the origin of the term, 'Pimms Cup'? Tell your F.I.L. that a 'hot was held' on rcw to remember those held at the 'Green Man' pub. :)
Peter Charles, Sorry, you can't claim many mistakes. We have all seen pics of your very elegant platters.
Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter
