Welcome to a brand new podcast series all about my great-grandfather.

It’s based on a book he wrote, we lovingly called “The Diary of a Cabinetmaker”.

It’s a fascinating tale of the time, of how people lived, the trials and the tribulations.

More importantly, it’s a personal tale that I’ve tried to bring to life and I hope you enjoy this little piece of family history.

Follow this podcast now, wherever you normally listen to your podcasts, so you don’t miss an episode.
