SWEETS MADE SIMPLE!

Guess who supplied the wooden print blocks for the new BBC 2 series 'Sweets made Simple'? The photographer (http://www.crisbarnett.com/) Cris had a great time routing round in our workshop looking round for props, so see if you can spot any other www.homestuffwiththistory.com stuff in later episodes!

DRIFTWOOD...

An elderly couple came into the shop. The man walked around looking, and prodding, before stopping in front of one of the driftwood boats. I was about to say how I made them from Suffolk driftwood when he suddenly exclaimed "Well it's not the worst model I've ever seen"
Slightly taken aback I replied "But possibly in your top five?"
"Well, definitely in the top ten" he countered.
He then proceeded to tell me all about the worst model boat he had ever seen. As he left the shop his wife sidled over and said "So sorry, he's a naval architect"

Ho hum….another day with the public!
