I have one in the top of the cupboard and there its going to stay - mainly because I can't reach it!!
As a totally pointless comment - my piano tuner's name was Ken Wood. Always made me laugh. Smile

Sorry, forgot to say that you should "plug" the power plug into the tree stump to make it look like it works and you're about to whizz up a batch of heather cake.

I think we have one of those in the back of a cupboard somewhere?
I do like your planter SC  Smile  it does looks good on that stump,  but its not something I'd do to a Kenwood  Tongue

I love my  Kenwoods  I've got 3 of them  Big Grin   one I've had 40 year, 2nd was bought from Gumtree while we waited for part to arrive to fix the original one and the 3rd was out of a skip in perfect working order.

I have a perfect functional one in my kitchen, same model. But this one really was beyond repair. We tried, I’ve still got the burn mark in my kitchen work top to prove it  Rolleyes . They are incredibly well built.  It took me ages to remove all the workings out of the top and work out how to put it back together so it looks functional. Even longer to fill the top with compost. Through that little hole   Smile . Which now has a creeping thyme seedling planted in it. The bowl has orange scented thyme & hyssop in it.

SC they do die eventually at least its not in the bit and it does look pretty Smile   planted up.

We had problems with one of the Kenwoods it would only work on its side  Dodgy   fixed now though.

I know this is an old thread Bren, but have just come across your post, so curious to know, how did you discover that a food mixer only worked when on its sideConfused.Smile

Spec that Kenwood had stopped working  MrB tipped it upside down to look underneath and like magic it worked.  Big Grin     He fixed it after buying a £8 kit of bits  from  ebay.

A friend of mine sent me this, a novel way to use up milk bottles. I'm not about to try it though, I've got plenty of planting things.
