Goodbye for now...

I feel guilty so must put it too rest.

 

I started this blog for many reasons,

but to share and document my making was the primary.

So now I am packing my life into boxes, to move into rented,

while I do up a shell of a house (and workshop)

I wonder......what have I got to go on the blog now?

 

 

For example everything you see on the wall in this image

has all gone now, bare as a baby's bum it is.

 

 

I was a dedicated smoker for many years.

I always wanted to follow my Grandads example....

Have a workshop full of tobacco tins of interesting things.

The minute I could afford to buy tins of tobacco - used to cost me a £10, I was off.

 

I like the subtlety of the health warning in the old tins.

The newer ones ain't so pretty - ''YOU WILL DIE AND IT WILL HURT!''

Anyway been off the baccy for a long time now.

Glad I kept the tins - plenty more where these came from.

 

So what can I document now?

How long will I be away?

 

I reckon it will be a year (ahhh minimum) before my workshop is in order.

By that I mean the position where I might start

contemplating making non-important things like tools I do not need

and pretty boxes and twirly carvings.

 

Most of my time will be spent making things I do need.

Like a workshop, 75% bigger.

Safe, secure and nice house.

A Library and dens for my boys.

 

Oh yea I have this amazing idea.

It is called the 'RETREAT'

This is in the 5 year plan.

 

This is all a little too personal for the blog I wanted to write.

Do I show some empty pictures of this house?

Maybe some scary ones of the new house?

 

But I will come back, I promise.

I am continually amazed at how many hits come my way.

Considering I do not sell or advertise that is!

 

Thanks to those who have asked after me.

It is just the Blog does not seem to fit in with my Life now.
