Brian and Norman get an MBE

Congratulations to Brian Jones - pictured- and his mate Norman Veich who are both getting MBEs. Who would have thought that lads from Deptford and Ford Estate would have got a medal. Although Norman often said they should get a medal for working there! They got the medals for services to glassblowing. They are both experts and have made many fabulous objects that take a massive amount of technical skill. As well as making glass they have also taught. I have been in Norman 's classes before. They are a couple of really nice guys.
