Comments for Curly shavings..... http://www.wonderfulwood.co.uk:/blog The ramblings of a Naturalist & Woodturner Sat, 03 Mar 2012 17:24:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Comment on Welcome! by admin http://www.wonderfulwood.co.uk:/blog/?page_id=7&cpage=1#comment-1430 admin Sat, 03 Mar 2012 17:24:10 +0000 http://www.wonderfulwood.co.uk:/blog/?page_id=7#comment-1430 I have just found your comment, Stephen and apologise for the lengthy delay. Many thanks for your very kind remarks - and my apologies also for being in the throes of a house move when you called. As you will see here now - the dust is beginning to settle and maybe soon we can all get on with our lives again - with the smell of the sea back in my nostrils once more :-) I have just found your comment, Stephen and apologise for the lengthy delay.

The more impressive as I cold called off the street as it were. I find it somewhat embarrassing to to do this, it is really like showing off your children!. But then I am only a very part-time fire wood modifier and do not have to do more than please myself. That said there is a personal drive to at least do it as well as possible. Second best is a cop out at the best of times really, whatever you do. I had no idea, why should I ?, that you were a radio ham. Had I known I would have mentioned the 3rd Empire French Oromulu clock that was given to me many years ago, and more intersetingly once belonged to Marconi; I gather he was in the radio game too!! Good luck with your move and I hope that it goes well and that you all soon happily settle into the local community . I can't imagine that you won't; but it is always a rite of passage. I shall keep an eye on your site and look for further news of your migrationa and resettlement. I wish you and your family every success in your move. With kind regards, and thanks, Stephen ( Burman ) Apprentice wood turner! Tony,

I am looking for something for a filler for a small box (3" x 3") of some crafts that I am working on. I would really like to see these shavings to see if they would work. Can I buy them from you? You never mentioned selling them or a price. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you! Ann Strarup I like the looks of the shavings.

I would have blushed if I had been younger! Thank you for your kind words - they were much appreciated. I hope you will call back again before too long and read some more (I'm part way through my latest little submission as I type this). If you could see my face when I read your comments…..

I assure you that I am not a famous blogger.....or a famous anything else either . I wouldn't know what to do with fame even if I had it! I just enjoy putting my thoughts into words from time to time. Blogs have another pleasant characteristic too - they don't interrupt before you've finished saying what you want to say ;) Many thanks for your kind comments!

However, I am happy to defer to the natural evolution of our language, like - innit, on this occasion - especially since it is you who made the comment....... :) New paragraph: I was also intrigued by your comment about the tone of my blog (no apostrophe required in "its" in this instance, by the way). If we leave the apostrophe where it is, then it could be read as either my blog is titivating <strong><em>me</em></strong>, OR I'm referred to as Titivating Tone (gerrit?), which I find highly unlikely! Come back soon!

Sorry but the student in me is bursting to come out so I will just suggest you break up the first bit into a couple of paragraphs. It is easier on the eye and more encouraging to read it through. After all, it is worth it. I learned a great tip this visit . . . stop vacuuming and keep warm this winter. I can do that!
