          That looks a lot closer than I thought it would have been. One day I'm going to go back to Happisburgh (what's left of it anyway) and visit that garden. :)

          Forgot to mention that a friend of mine at work is contemplating asking me to carve something for her wedding as table decorations. She likes the robin and is contemplating a few of these on each table (I think).

          I never thought of people wanting my carvings as table decorations for weddings for some reason.

            No, you are right, its a fair flog away. Cleverly framed in the trees at the end of the walk though :)

                    So I just started a blog just putting up my photos so I can put them on pinterest as people were asking if I had a website.

                    Am looking into dates for an exhibition early next year and am gathering frames for them to be framed in at the moment.

                    Meanwhile I'm working on carving something really small but won't post it up until I'm done and happy with it.

                    Found this on my phone. It's the first thing I carved back in July for my other half. :wub2:
