Adventures With The Pig

Beautiful bit of spalted silver birch on a cliff top walk in Radcliffe (at Radcliffe on Trent)

Lunch today was some very fiery ramen at my new favourite lunch spot. Much needed restoration after overindulging last night.

Sunday is for sausage making. Getting ahead on the Christmas prep.

Honey and multigrain loaf. Sunday's are for baking. #bread (at Walworth)

My intrepid little adventurer. Doing a runner from dad. #norfolk #weekend (at Wells Next The Sea, Norfolk, United Kingdom)

Finished making my new butchers knife. It's a Russell blade with and handle made of walnut scales and copper spacers, joined with copper Corby Rivets. I'm pretty pleased with it. #woodworking #knifemaking #butcher #butchery #knife #russellknife #walnut #copper (at Walworth)

Mmm. Delicious.

No messing about.

Deeply unappetising poster outside a pub toilet. #baddesign (at London, United Kingdom)

Knocking together a sling bookcase for the baby's room out of some spare plywood I had in the shed. Now waiting on grandma to sew some canvas for it. #woodworking #dadlife #sunday #adulting (at Hockering)

So Rosie quite enjoyed her first fireworks display. (at Hockering)

Final shaping work on this new butchers knife done. Now time to sand, sand, sand. #woodworking #knifemaking #sunday #crafting (at Walworth)

Absolutely stonking fry up from @jandacafe to start the day. Black pudding as standard. (at London, United Kingdom)

I love the moment when you're working on a project and it stops looking like a load of wood, glue, and clamps and starts to look like a real tangible thing. The handle to my new butchers knife is starting to take shape. #woodworking #knifemaking #butchery #walnut #copper (at London, United Kingdom)
