It's the last day for me here at Wilton House.
I've talked to some of the mist interesting people from a vast array of backgrounds.
It's surprising who you can bump into at events like this!

Next we're off to chalke history festival! It's going to be a race just to get ready for the race 😬 🏁 but with the fantastic team we've assembled, there's nothing we can't achieve!

An absolutely manic but exciting week so far.
Now I'm unloaded at Wilton house for a fantastic event with Association of heritage engineers.
A little bit of prep at today too.

It's all coming together nicely!

Thanks to everyone who came to say hello at the too. Another one of my favourite events that I've been attending for over 20 years now! Where's that time gone?!

It's been a long week... month... year.

Im at the Royal Cheshire show for the next two days, then down to Wiltshire for two more events.

I'm usually a bit last minute, but after a few days off recovering from an infection, I'm now really behind!

No rest for the wicked though eh!

Who remembers this little jem from a past Chalke History Festival?
I'll have my lathe there again this year working on chariot parts!
Can't wait!
