You are a lucky lady to have such talented neighbors. It's encouraging to see that the art of hand crafting household items is still alive. In our world of use and toss, it's lovely to see items made of such quality that they would last for generations.

It must be a day for memories because everything you said brought back memories of him. he was Scottish so he used a lot of the words you were using, wee, cracking --and he also made things out of wood. I've got boxes and tables that he made--out of wood from the original pilings of London bridge. Yes--that one, in London! Amazing he? Thanks for the memories. Wish I was sitting there with a cuppa tea, having a chin wag--the memories would really be pouring back.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09466744401652870517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-6998884449161221822010-09-25T11:32:40.454+01:002010-09-25T11:32:40.454+01:00It is a beautiful clock..
