This pleasurable visit was arranged with Pat Shepherd who was otherwise engaged when I arrived. However, I met Chris Murphy and Hayley Postill-two lovely, hospitable people . As this was my first visit they gave me four complete sets of Horse Clipper blades and one large “comb” blade. These were effectively sharpened and honed and subsequently cleaned. I drank their cappucino and had some hot toast. They indicated they would use my services on a regular basis during horse cleaning season.

I was just about to drive away when Hayley called me back to take another hot drink with me. Such kindness !

I hope to meet Pat Shepherd on my next visit. My regards to Pat.
