When we were young. Wentwood Forest Wales sometime in the 1970’s.
Flashback to 1971, Margate Summer Season. Ondrea and her mum sitting and her dad & me standing. Fond memories of a wonderful time.
What have you done Jakey? You are looking very guilty...
It’s that time of year I guess. Found this little feller in the garden this morning. After last night’s gale force winds.
This was me as a young feller full of the joys of life, playing with the King Of Skiffle the legendary Lonnie Donegan. This was taken during a live performance on German TV in 1971. I hope Lon has linked up with all the other great music friends on the other side.
Another of the brilliant musicians I had the good fortune to play with, was bass player/multi instrumentalist Melt Kingston. Before joining me in the Donegan band Melt had already had a very successful career playing with amongst others- The New Vaudeville Band and Adge Cutler and the Worzels. I’m so sad that Melt passed away just two weeks ago from heart problems. A real gentle soul who was always smiling. He will be missed by many, many people all over the world. 💚
Thinking about my late friend Peter Bocking today. Out of some of best guitar players in the world that I have been privileged to play with, Peter was the best. A lovely man who was totally dedicated to his instrument. Pete was from Manchester and in his first successful group two singers asked if the could join him. After some deliberation Pete hired them. They stayed with him until they decided to leave and form their own band. They were Graham Nash and Alan Clark who of course went on to form The Holies. I toured a few continents with Peter and roomed with him at times while in the Lonnie Donegan band in the late 60’s to mid 70’s including an outstanding season at the Riviera in Vegas. God bless you old mate. ❤️
Great disguise @andrewberryuk never would have guessed. Hope the royalties are coming in😊🥴
Post 4 sizes up.
A pic of the Cartier Russian wedding ring showing the joint from the last upsize, apparently by a Jeweller in the ‘Quarter’ Brum.
I was asked to upsize a Russian wedding ring by 4 sizes. The ring was made by Cartier but was around 40 years old, and had been upsized before. This is a pic before.
Hand made wedding band commission. #madeinwales #atthebench #markantonyjewellery #weddingrings
An engaged couple asked me if I could make a wedding band for the groom, from an 18ct yellow gold chain that his late father always wore. They were quite specific in as much as they stated that the ring should be a minimum of 4mm wide and be engraved both inside and outside of the piece.
Made these sterling and tube set diamond earrings for a customer, from jewellery she no longer wore. Only to be told a week later that she couldn’t wear them because they were too heavy for her lobes.
Completed a pair of sterling studs for a client. She provided the gems, which I think were Beryl, but I may be wrong.
My copy arrived hot off the press this morning. @goldpolisher
In another lifetime I spent 20 years as a Management & Training Consultant. One of the contracts I had was to deliver Management and business start-up training to prisoners in a number the prisons in Wales. During my lunchtime I would try and get out just to have a break from being ‘banged up’! At this particular prison which was out in the country I would take my camera and eat my sandwiches in the car. I would park not too far away from the rubbish area, and I would watch a number of the birds and various animals come to pick up food from the waste. I caught this grey squirrel stealing a piece of toast.
I should know what this caterpillar is but am a wee bit too tired to look up after a hectic day at the bench and on the road delivering repaired Jewellery pieces to clients.
Talk about challenges. A customer said it was a special ring and could I save it? I ended up replacing about 75% of the 9ct shank.
Jake and Rosie, always know how to chill.
