Where Slack is cutting must have been very attractive before the refinery happened, if you don't mind seeing shipping and the noise it still is.

The village hasn't yet gone too holiday makers only as far as I could see, work clothes in the pub still 🙂

 

Its about a 50/50 split for second homes, and none of the younger locals can afford to buy a house in Angle, unless they have a job with the refinery.

The refinery is only noticeable with sound and smell on a cold frosty days or easterly winds, but 1 in 5 families in Pembrokeshire have some work connection with the refinery. It is going to hit Pembrokeshire hard when it finally closes.

Here you go @Squaredy a couple of pictures. There isn't going to be enough to make up a lorry load from the windblow, but we will thinning here this winter.

Thank you for that.  By all means keep me posted of the winter thinning, but it is only going to work if a lorry load can be made up, and even then I would have to see pictures to assess the quality.

I’ve just won a butchers’ block, which I suspect is partially beech. Will take a photo later or tomorrow just because I’m pleased as punch with it. 

 

 

 

Previous owner used it to drill things on. 
 

Beech?

The end grain blocks were usually elm for a butcher's cutting block

Can you turn it upside down? Or is both sides drilled?

[AHPP]

Haven’t tried yet. Heavy.

It does look like beech, but if you get a sharp really close image it will be easier to tell.
