    Splitting headache

    I’ve had a good look to see if this has been said before and found nothing but my search was not exhaustive so apologies if this is old hat. When I was a kid I sat happily for hours whittling stuff and of all the things I produced, the things that I liked the most were my spoons knives forks...
