He was also a great sportsman, football, darts, snooker then later cricket and seemed to excel in everything he did. He once bowled a whole cricket team out (though they only had 10 men that day) for about 26 runs, so they mounted the cricket ball for him and presented it to him at one of their cricket dinners.
Well over the years he has moved electrics, plumbed in sinks fixed just about everything that has broken and made kids toys from garages, to cranes to dolls houses.
So what does a woman do when her DD leaves home and is short of a table...of course you give them yours and say...but your dad will soon make me another one!!!
And so he did.......
and its perfect.....
Ummm!! now that corner could do with a cupboard....perhaps I better wait a bit before I put in my next order.....
Have a great weekend, we are off to a country fair on Sunday so hope to pick up a few bargains and have lots of piccies to show.

Would you consider bigamy because I really want a table like that made for me...
ReplyDeleteThat guy is a keeper for sure! My guy is not a handyman at all but he is brilliant at the ironing! I haven't ironed for 16 years! We are lucky aren't we?!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and happy weekend,
Natasha.
That's a gorgeous table! What a clever husband yours is (I think mine came from the same mould actually, except for the cricket bit, his love being rugby!) And I love your Union Flag rug...

Can I borrow him? mine has to think about things for couple of years and buy a book on it, and talk about it then pay someone else to do it.

The man's a genius Jenny! Your table is absolutely perfect! Can I borrow him? xxxx
ReplyDeleteHow good it is to have a handyman husband - I can't imagine having one who had to "get a man in" for every last little thing but even mine couldn't make a table like that though I know a man who can luckily! (No he is just a friend nothing more and what's more his wife is a friend too!!)
