Snow fell on Charlton Musgrove turning Barrow Lane into a proper "Winter Wonderland". Many Schools were closed across the south west and people were unable to travel until later in the day. It provided a perfect opportunity to get out and take some photos like the one on the right.

At last years Royal Bath and West show Andrew Palmer's entry in the Farm Innovations Awards was a combination spanner with a difference. It had two of each size available at the same time from the one set.
Size A open-end has size B ring
Size B open-end has size A ring.
By doing this he was solving the problem that you get with normal combination spanners. Each one has the same size open end as the ring, so if you want to undo a nut and a bolt you need two spanners the same size, so you either need to sets or you would use an adjustable spanner which could damage you bolt head.
This year it was encouraging to hear from Andrew that he had made progress with his unique spanners and was having some sets made for sale. They will be available in the following sets containing 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 22 and 24mm.
The spanners are top quality drop forged chrome vanadium and carry a 10-year guarantee.
The disappointing thing is he could not find a company in the UK who could make them for him, so he had to have them made in India.
