I am slowly getting settled in London and looking for work. After 30years away it's very strange to be back! Once I have some money coming in I will start rebuilding my turning machines; a lathe will be the 1st priority. I had to sell my lathes, yes, the Stubby as well, wet sharpener, bandsaw...well, everything that needed plugging in was sold. I couldn't use it here and also had to finance my move. In the meantime I will be back on the board on a regular basis. I have been popping in for a read every now and again over the last year but it's not the same as a regular presence.

I am amazed at the penmaking progress of some of the folks who were just starting as I left. There is some fabulous work going on.

Glad to be back.

Ruth

My first wife's grandmother was first born in Italy and migrated to USA as a teenager with her family....she would get upset if you mentioned an accent ... she would say

"I donta gotta no accenta - munga munga "
 
Welcome to the UK Ruth, I hope you find a job and start to build up the workshop equipment soon, if you need the names of suppliers etc.., just shout!
 
Welcome back Ruth . I think I would be one of the turners you speek of . I have missed reading your posts . I hope you find work , and get organized to get back here on the forum on a regular basis . Best wishes for you in the UK .
 
Welcome back. I hope that life is settling in easily and that you and your family are doing well. It is easy to ship blanks to England. Let us know when you have a lathe and I would be happy to share blanks with you. Isn't that what pen turners are all about? Stay warm and dry in foggy England.
 
wow! what a welcome!! It brings tears to my eyes.......it's so easy to feel insignificant and invisible to the world...............

thank you SO much everyone!
 
Glad things went well on the move -- and they do get Stubbys to England --

And you are in the company of some fine turners there!!! Look forward to seeing your future contributions.
 
Welcome to the UK Ruth, I hope you enjoy it here.:biggrin: Where abouts in London are you? I have to work in London a lot, but don't really like big cities.
 
After all the years away I had forgotten how cold it is. Even 2 pairs of socks and 2 layers isn't keeping me warm. I am in Stratford, home of the 2012 Olympics for now. I would like to move somewhere much more rural than this! But first the job.
 
Welcome back Ruth, glad you made the journey safely, I hope you find a job soon, I also hope you get your equipment replaced quickly as well.
