Coming Weekend, Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of December you are welcome at our Christmas Open Days at our studio in West Woodburn (from 11am till 5pm). If you cannot make it this weekend, you are also welcome other days, but please give us a ring in advance. We hope to see you all!
Already for months we see this lovely bird on our natural & recycled slate window feeder. Only recently we discovered it is a very rare Leucistic female Chaffinch (she simply missed the paint booth!). Every morning, after I filled all our window feeders, she comes to enjoy our (robin) bird food. As a ‘non-plastic’ feeder it is designed that you see the full body of the visiting bird, the seed floor is under an angle with an opening in end that water with automatically drained, meaning that your food will be fully eaten (doesn’t become mouldy and no remains attracting vermin). Made from natural slate, you’ll never have to clean the feeder; only twice yearly to check that the water drainage is still working. Easy installed (pushing the bone dry/clean sucker) against the glass and shortly after you can enjoy your feathered friends. Our first one made, roughly 10 years ago, has never come off, despite all weathers & seasons. Today there are close to 5000 other places where this feeder is enjoyed, from Northumberland, the whole of UK, and all other continents from, EU, America, Australia & New Zealand to even Japan.
Please come and join us for a Chocolate treat on our Christmas Open Days. Friday, Saturday & Sunday 23, 24 & 25th of November and Saturday & Sunday 1st & 2nd of December from 11am – 5pm. Other days you are also welcome, but please give us a ring (01434 270331) in advance. Looking forward seeing you.
My patience was rewarded; after many early mornings, Today was The day our baby Blue tits left their home. 
Our next event will be the 30th Anniversary of the Scottish Game Fair at Scone, Friday till Sunday 29th of June till the 1st of July. We will be at our usual place – Gunmakers row number G74.
The Fair is a great day out for people of all ages, all cultures and all countries and there is a wide range of activities and stalls to suit all members of the family.
We hope to see you!
