Old Boggy Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I was given these two pyrographic pictures by a shooting pal yesterday as a birthday present, which as you can imagine, I was absolutely delighted with. He is a very talented guy and has done some amazing work. Felt that I just had to share my good fortune receiving these bespoke images. They are already hanging on the wall in what I erroneously refer to as my office, but what is in fact a space under the stairs, the only space in our tiny abode where I`m allowed to indulge my passion.

Walker570 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Yep happy birthday. They are brilliant. I have done a bit of pyrography and it is not easy and takes a load of practise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be one hell of a staircase to be able to shoot under it!!! 😂 Very nice items - he should consider selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Morning Chris ...... They say as you get older the time goes quicker , a perfect example is with birthdays and now they seem to come round far to quick , still these last 18 months or so have just been a blur and hopefully we can now go back to our old routine . A very nice birthday present and worthy of a place on your front room walls , then your good lady can admire them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right about how the years go by so quickly. Just have to savour every moment. 47 minutes ago, bottletopbill said: Hi Chris Happy Birthday time flies as we all get older.

You’re so right, in my head I feel about 30-40 but try to do anything too energetic for too long and your body soon tells you differently. Hope that you are now fully recovered from your ops.

Hi Chris Had a bone scan a month ago to see how bad the replacement knee is. The right knee needs to be done but it hurts a lot less than the left replacement . So will be cautious before any operation the stick is still going strong better than a replacement knee. Many thanks Bill Edited July 26, 2021 by bottletopbill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Bill Hi Bill, Never an easy decision whether to have the other knee done or not. One of my shooting pals now in his 80s had quite a lot of grief with the first one for a few months and was hesitant on getting the other one done, but now he’s glad he did and timed both operations immediately after the duck season to allow him a bit of recovery for the beginning of the next season. Good luck with whatever you chose. Kind regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
