Getting it to work again gave<br> him such an enjoyment that he decided to try to fix some other clocks.</p> <p>Later on, when he was busy with clocks as a hobby beside his new job,<br> he decided to follow a clockmaking course. After he passed for the exam,<br> he also started to repair clocks for other people.</p> <p>As time went by, Peter got more and more clients who let him repair their clocks.<br> He also started selling clocks. A few years later, we moved into a bigger house,<br> with room for a shop. And now, the shop has gone online!</p> <p> </p> </body>
