So, off we went. Among all the drilling and shaving and cutting and rasping and chuckling (not me chuckling...the nutty ones did that)...we sort of ended up with a nut or two far happier now than they before, just laying there waiting to get kicked, or worse still, run over!

But...There was a problem. Apparently, all new Nutty's have to be inspected on completion, (Yes, it was a suprise to me too). An inspection by the terrible 'Ma Grazz' is really something else. She's a real terror by all accounts but I wasn't too worried until it happened.....! The cry went out...

Talk about panic! Everyone was running around not knowing what to do...they had to line-up for inspection but they were all over the place enjoying a bit of freedom and...well, just panicking...sort of...
