Struggling to find  pics at moment

i just make them for the famIly....made one for each of our 5 UK based grandchildren at Xmas.....Roe Deer antler and shanks cut from my son's garden 18 months previous

this was my first ever one done about 3 years ago.  Red deer antler, water buffaloand Ox horn end caps. Hazel shank with two water buffalo spacers, one cow bone spacer and if you look closely there are 2 brass spacers made from the brass washers from SY glands  Nothing is planned it just sort of comes together organically  



lockdown swayed me into this one for me. Hazel, water buffalo and Red Deer Antler and some brass for a change...never seen brass on one before



then wife saw it and wanted one...so,hers has two,water buffalo and one  Ox spacer



then she saw the Eye one and wanted one of those....work,in progress and a lack of pics

ill take some pics tomorrow

Wow, don’t you pay cheques using your bank app and your smart phone?

Lloyds have had this faculty for quite a while now

Very handy as Lloyd’s closed the branch I could walk to, making my nearest branch in town , an 8 mile round trip and £1.40 per hour parking ...

Finally got round to setting this up the other day...

Over the weekend we dropped some more shopping off for my mother-in-law..  

and she gave us a cheque to cover the various odds-n-ends over the past few weeks...

So...

downloaded  the Lloyds App.. logged on set it up etc...

follow prompts for any details and use the apps tool to take an image of the front & back of the cheque..

Job done!! 

Checked statement on-line few days later..

all paid in and cleared!!

jobs a goodun!!

Saved queueing for 15mins+ to get into the bank, (which I had to do last time I went to the bank).

I wouldn't be surprised if more local bank branches close following the lock-down, as more people use on-line facilities....

(I think cheques was probably the one single biggest reason for going to my local bank over the past 12 months).

Unless you need to go and actually speak to a member of staff...

Or you have a massive wad of cash to pay in..

Can't think why anyone would need to go to the bank???
