But for now back to the workshop.

Update from Oli- Monster Workshop

Oli's owner, Gillian dropped us a line with an update on how he has been doing since she adopted him in August last year.

'Oli, after just a couple of weeks recovering from jetlag (I know Ireland isn't that far to go but for a little fella like him it was pretty intence)and travelsickness from his journey began to feel right at home with me.

He has become a dab hand in the garden and is at the moment checking to see how his newly planted tomatoe plants are coming along. He is also found with his head firmly stuck in my CD player as he loves music.You should see him "bustin the moves".....pretty hilarious'.
