It has been some time that I met Craig at the Bethaus smithy. It was on the Muttental spring fair that I met some Scottish madman and we talked some about forging and making music. Was a great meeting, and I promised I´d link him, but as is, all my fault, I messed up his address.
But now I found him, and here comes the link:
www.craigherbertson.com
He also plays abroad (from here*ggg*) and tries to make a living from winning awards;-), so check out his site.
Coming to think of it, I will include a music category in my linklist.
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
