Repairing tools

When you use hand tools as frequently as we do, you will find they often break or wear out despite the user being careful with them.

This is particularly the case with wooden-handled tools used for hammering, driving and digging.

Today, we had three break in quick succession - the 14lb maul using for driving posts, the 8lb sledgehammer and the 6lb mattock.

I made sticky buns…

The Wee ‘Un was in the supermarket with us on Wednesday when he spotted some packets of iced buns.

Unlike many children, however, the Wee ‘Un didn’t ask if we could buy them. Instead, he asked if he could make some at home.

So today, we set to work to make some sticky buns for afternoon tea.
