    Lately, I've been busy making Viking figures and Celtic trees of life in my shed. I now have a total of 26 different Viking figures, and I have another 12 waiting to be made. I regularly sell all these pieces at markets. This spring, I had a stall at a Celtic festival, where I sold many of these Viking figures and other Celtic plaques. I really enjoy the atmosphere at such a festival, so I've registered again for a Scandinavian market on September 27th and 28th.

      Hello Mark,
      Thank you for your comment. Now that I'm retired, my days should actually be 48 hours long because I'm running out of time every day. I'm in the shed six days a week and I'm having a great time. I've done some of the work several times, but it's still a joy to do. I still find it a shame that the company no longer exists and I have to go elsewhere for my parts.

      Regards,
      Bert Klappe
