Wasn`t that Richard Blizard the wood wizard.

Seem to remember him being a jolly, plump fellow, if i`ve got the right bloke.

Thats him, Yes he was a plump fellow not that there is anything wrong with plump, my grandaughter calls me her grandad with the big fat belly.

But the toys Blizard made were pretty good, never made any myself though.

That`s all part of being a Grandad, you`ve got to be soft & well proportioned so little bairns can fall asleep cuddled up to you. No point being boney, no comfort in that.

As for making toys, now`s your chance, my lads love having something "dads made". Sure your grandaughter would be the same, its the thought that someone has made something just for them.

Baz

Never thought of it that way, might  give it a go, on something small to start with though.
