Keep on trugging...

 

One of these fabulous wooden baskets has never been far from the Scrobs Family!

They used to come from several places around here, but this chap is in Northampton, and he has to get our local materials for a very skilful job...

My dad had one of the biggest trugs for years, and it was my job to fill it with logs for the fire, a task which usually set me off moaning and groaning!

I bought Senora O'Blene a smaller one years ago, and she used to polish it sometimes! I may have to give it a little TLC soon, as it's in the greenhouse, and that isn't the best place at the moment.

Incidentally, the same willow supply ends up in cricket bats, also made from here - there must be something in the air!
