we (me and nikki) returned (from our two week whirlwind tour of various fools and family members in the uk) to find that winter had made an impressive appearance with a fair bit of snow and sub-zero temperatures - nice!
here's a few photographs to give you an idea:
icicles hanging from the roof of our little stone house:
the hills of the valley opposite:
some plants struggling to keep their heads above snow:
the pattern of the frost in the greenhouse:
also, after some terrible customer service treatment from the british knife collectors guild.....
(i seriously suggest people don't buy from them as they don't care one bit about you or your custom once they've got your money - really really unhelpful)
.....i have inherited a new knife which is pretty cool. it's 37 layered folded damascus steel (as are nikki's and monkey boy's new knives) but that's not really the point of all this.
the point is that i made a sheath for the knife from an old sheepskin coat (super 70's styling!) that my mum gave to us to utilise for making things for around the place - thanks mum, thought you appreciate knowing that it's already being used to make useful things out here!
here's a couple of photographs of the knife and sheath:
ok, there's probably loads more i should catch-up on that's happened since we went away but i can't remember any of it now and so it'll have to wait.
later, gairy.
