Wood,Wood, Glorious Wood! ! !

I failed woodwork GCE, I've never worked out why. I did some really good stuff. I suppose it could be that I could never see why it was important to know the difference between a "gothic" column, and a "doric" column. I could see there was a difference, there are about ten different types, but who gives a bugger which is which. I was far too practical for a mere school, probably should have gone to a special school, they do have them. I'm preparing some gates for hanging, I'd like to be doing the same for a certain arrogant Frenchman at the builders merchants, but therein lies another tale. These gates are new and need hinges and painting, and tomorrow they shall be hanged by the hinges until declared satisfactory. I love this work, I find it completely satisfying. The new gateway is taking shape, get finished with the deliveries by waggon, and it'll be done in a couple of days. Not long now and we'll have a field shelter, it'll be part of the barn, but accessed from the field. Will the horses use it? I think so. I'm sure we'll find out. They'll use the gates....
