I've walked past that dragon bench just above Craftlwyn Hall. A magnificent job. A seat worthy of Daenerys Targaryen.

About thirty years ago, one of the shops 'in' the old Odeon, the one next to where Narvana is now, was a very interesting tool shop and I bought many things there, including a couple of Spintiller manual cultivators. One of only two manufactured items that I have ever seen with Made in New Zealand stamped on it.
It;s a well-made thing and works remarkably well - for a garden gadget.
The plots below are fallow for this year and grass clippings, plus hedge trimmings, etc, are scattered thinly, left for a couple of weeks and then the top three inches is fluffed up to incorporate them.
The plot on the left was turned over in about three minutes.

In the mid-1980s, I rescued a small surface plate from the skip, during one of my twice-daily foraging trips. Its faces were reground by a good friend and it has had regular use since. I have just treated it to a clean-up and a polish with a Garryson block - as good as 'new' again.
Seen here with other oddments that have been picked up along the way.
The filter is part of a (probably forlorn) plan to reduce the waxing issue in the lawnmower carburettor - see http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/petrol-waxing.19550/

I should have got you to come along and see if anything could have been useful to you when I cleared my parents house last year. The scrap man had a field day helping me to get rid of lots of things like that in the sheds and garage.

Couple of old Harrison watches, a Valyrian Steel sword, a Dinky Toy Tank Transporter and Centurion Tank still in the box, an original Mamod Model Steam Engine. (I've just broken the heart of Gramaisc …

WOW, this is some Easter in terms of weather. Now I know this Easter is about as late as Easter can be, (the first weekend after the first full Moon after the Equinox … yes … the timing has little or nothing to do with religion.)
But this one is something else … everybody sat outside my local in tee shirts and shorts .. basking in sunshine.
I took a walk down the coastal path this morning, a bit hazy, but virtually no wind (seriously weird for the Atlantic,) and drop dead gorgeous. The sea and the sky blended together, hard to see the horizon. If anything a bit too warm for grinding up those valley sides.
Not that I'm complaining .. far from it.
