24^th March Mary’s Barn Little London Nr.Heathfied

 

Mike Gordon contemplating a Birch prior to felling; for the Sussex groups first meeting of the year.

 

Mike has just returned from his second trip to Uganda. He was live on Whats App to one of the pole lathe turners and introduced us to her!

  

Andrew and Karen had just driven back from their holiday in Devon

 

Richard Bingham had also not long returned from his winter New Zealand trip. He was making shoe horns and back scratchers.

 

Mike was making a spoon to show our host Mary how to do it. 

Don’t think I have ever seen him off his pole lathe.

Well it was glorious weather this year I even took my shirt off!

Thanks to Mary for her hospitality especially the honey biscuits and real coffee!
