victorian style rocking horse

It's a very grand-fatherly thing to do, isn't it? For the family elder to toddle off to the workshop at the bottom of the garden, get to grips with his lathe, and make a family heirloom - a rocking horse for the grandchildren.



My guest this morning was the legendary Joe Brown, who's performing at The Hexagon, in Reading, tomorrow night. But what was he more interested in doing today? Going back off down the garden to his workshop and working on the latest rocking horse. He's already made two, but this one is to keep at his own home, for when his eight grandchildren come around.

Great one, Joe!
