Cow trough goes missing from local farmyard...

Actually I didn’t steal it…it came from the candle manufacturer who I work for believe it or not!

We make ‘pillar’ candles amongst other things… the tube-shaped ones…& as you can see we don’t use very high tech equipment! Some factories use computerised systems, robotic filling machines, automatic wicking units…but not mine…no…we use cow troughs!

This trough held 40 metal moulds into which the molten wax is poured & hot water, then cold, is pumped in & around them for a specified time until they are ready.

Anyway…the point of boring you silly with that story is that it sprang a leak so badly it was irreperable & it was being chucked out so I brought it home (like you do!). It’s bloomin’ heavy so I enlisted the help of a lorry driver mate who happened to be passing with a wagon & drag & he popped it in the back! How cool is that!

Soooooo…what did I do with it when I got it home?

Oh you know me so well………. :0))))))
