Mum, there are men on the roof

Scaffolding up yesterday morning to repair the chimney stack. I bet these men enjoy their jobs. Like playing with a giant construction set. Anyone remember Meccano?
Now you see it...
 Now you don't...

I went to Havant yesterday. Hobbycraft had no small wood cotton reels, no wood buttons to paint faces on but they did have pegs for making peg dolls so I bought a few of those (56!)
Hobbycraft has a lot of things for card makers and cake makers but these seem to have replaced some pretty basic stuff. I'm thinking of the last time I went when I couldn't get a small drill or a small glue gun.
As you can see the chimney stack disappeared while I was away. Quick work by Bryan Frost, chimney specialist!

I have found Hobbycraft has changed. I used to top on safety eyes there, but now they have such a small range of them, it wasn't worth the trouble of going. Also I do not like the way it is set out now. Perhaps, at my age now, I do not take to change!!!!!

It would benefit them to have a book out where customers could write down what they want Hobbycraft to stock...
