It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Christmas has always been my favourite time of the year. For years my parents worked hard to make it a magical time. I would struggle to sleep with excitement and in the hope of seeing Santa. Even after I found out the magic came from my parents, they always made sure it was a happy magical day.

Five years ago the time came and I realized I was now the one to create the magic and my excitement grew and new traditions were born.

It’s not about the money you spend or how many presents are under the tree. In all honesty the first Christmas we went all out we quickly realized that young children don’t care, they can’t tell the difference between a £2 toy and a £200 toy (and either way they’ll be more interested in the box/wrapping paper).

This year I have decided to do twelve days of Christmas blog. Every other day from 1st December a blog on different aspects of the Christmas festivities.

Enjoy!

  Upbeat AFS Texas Meeting

  Posted on 06 February 2017 in NEWS

  Howdy from Texas,
  
  I’m just back from the January 2017 AFS, American Foundry Society, meeting at the Sam Houston Horse Race Track; in Houston, none the less!
  
  It is always so good to catch up with fellow metalcasters that embody the spirit of the AFS and continue the long historical legacy of turning liquid metal into castings! The turnout for the board and general meeting was better than expected and in the end, it turned out to be a large crowd of approximately seventy members.

  When the first metalcasters arrived in the new world, what would one day become the thirteen colonies and ultimately the United States of America, they landed in Plymouth.
