Amazingly I found these crab apples today when out walking with my family. They are all really firm and just perfect to make in to jelly! What is amazing is that they have withstood weather as cold as minus 15 and have remained unscathed. I picked these up and will have enough for one...
Bespoke curtain rails are all that we could offer in this dormer roof space. The client decided to have ’rounded’ ends of the rail because there was no room for a finial. We supplied 2 center brackets for the rail as there was not enough room for a standard bracket. Not all windows are...

I have a desire to create ironwork that lasts forever. At the moment I am working on the minute detail for my new kitchen (an extension on my old one). I intend to furnish all our kitchen cupboard doors and drawers with iron handles and knobs.

My favorite is the Thumper named after the tool that thumps in the soil when a tree is planted. I get the majority of my inspiration from nature and will soon be offering all the smaller iron furniture for anyone who is dedicated to detail.

My young son just loves it when I get my anvil out to shoe my own pony. He always asks for a hammer and I let him hammer on a shoe to help me. Maybe he will make some pan racks for me one day!
