Sword8 Signing On

What a gr8 idea ! Hope to be a regular contributor. What comes to mind when I read - or hear - the word "slate" are the uses that material is put to. Particularly amazing are the slate shingles used for roofing which we saw a lot of throught UK when we travelled there. We even visited a slate mine in Wales - a fascinating tour - and still have some pieces of Welsh slate picked up at that site. (Not sure where they are right now as we are still unpacking after moving house recently.) And of course the huge slabs of slate used for the surface of snooker and pool tables. Quite a task moving those pieces of furniture when they have to be. Until next time ......
