Gary had a play with his gifts from Crowman... a 2" and 1.5" auger. Sadly I forgot to get a picture of the 2 together or the bench he made and was promptly claimed by the site crew when they saw it![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

We also got to see some of the wonderful embroidery by his wife Debs. It's based on an original funeral offering of a viking woman. Gary did tell us more but I forgot the name
but hopefully he'll tell us the history behind it ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
