And there was snow!!!!!


And………. it is still snowing we now have over 12” on the garage roof. Lost track of how many times we have cleared the path to the workshop and the driveway. It looks pretty but it is a real pain now. So much time wasted!!





Busy trying to get wheels reconditioned, Clive has been making some of the parts for a batch of Timbertops, also we have been making spare bobbins for customers. Within a  week or two  we are arranging for  two spinning wheels to come in for repair from different places and have just had a further phone call to say another is being sent in next week. So busy time. J
It is certainly interesting, we get wheels or parts of wheels in from all over mainland UK but have also had them from farther afield, Isles of Mull, Arran and Shetland, Guernsey, Holland and even from across the Atlantic from  USA.  Just before Christmas we were proud to help with the restoration and repair of a wheel in the Falkland Islands. We have just had a progress report from the Customer in Stanley to say that all the parts have been re-assembled and the wheel is now spinning and plying beautifully. Just the sort of email we love to receive.
