I was having a good old rummage through the timber store the other day and found an old off cut from a workbench top. It's from one that I made when I was building them for a living. I used to keep these off cuts and put them to the test. Sun exposure, damp, all that...
I want to ask how on Earth it's Christmas already? But I recon you've probably heard that at least three times this week. I'm not ready yet, never am. But I kind of like it that way. Uncertainty seems to keep more of that child-like magic than having everything all in...

Every now and then I feel like I see something with new eyes. I’m often blow away at the beauty of say the sea, or the sky with a pretty sunrise. It's as though my brain has had a system reset and deleted its memory so I get to see it again like it's for the first...
