Abney Park keeps itself busy all year with weekly openings for the public on Thursdays. I have visited a few times during March as I had yet another school holiday. In addition to their weekly meetings they run monthly London Group meetings as well as some paying spoon making courses. I recently bumped into a couple of old friends, Joseph Bloor,  and Gerry who with Jaxs,  were at Abney in the early days. Joseph was busy making outdoor furniture for various clients and is pictured here making a stool for Highgate Wood. Gerry and family were over visiting friends for a couple of weeks.
