No time for fannying about, I have a massive backlog of photos and writing I wanted to post but have not had the time or energy to go ahead with so I'll start with something simple but important and hopefully be able to catch up on the rest of it over the next few days now all my deadlines are out of sight.
Here is a plant pot my dad made from recycled shipping pallets, that also functions as a wheelbarrow should one desire. My dad often has pallets donated to his workshop in his garage which he then re-fashions into wooden plant pots and furniture and sells on to raise money for the Neuro Muscular Centre at Winsford.
My dad has a rare genetic disease called late-onset FSH Muscular Dystrophy which means that his muscle tissue painfully depletes itself, starting at the top of his body and working its way down so that eventually he won't be able to make these things anymore.
The NMC provides specialist physiotherapy which dramatically improves my dad's quality of life and makes it easier for him to move while reducing the number of spasms that cause muscle depletion. I think it is beautiful how he has managed to creatively re-purpose his life and so I would like to ask if anybody has any scrap wood lying around, please get in touch and send it in this direction.
