Here in Thornbury we have an annual Arts Trail where local artists show their work in a variety of venues around the Area.

I have just got back from visiting George King who is a woodturner and have enjoyed looking over his two model traction engines among other amazing wooden objects. There is a completed working engine made from the Minnie drawings and there is a showman's engine which is work in progress.

Both are incredible and the Minnie has actually run under compressed air.

Some of you may have already seen the Minnie as it was exhibited at last year's Bristol show and at the Dorset Steam Fair.

In any case, do have a look at his website or if you live in the area it is well worth a trip to see his work this weekend. (Details are on the website.) **LINK**
