Thank you for the comment. I hope it comes close to what I see in my head.


Did two bootfairs today which netted me a load of good stuff at silly prices. Including two 1200mm Sash Clamps for £5.00

Then came home and got the truck out the garage, as well as the Teardrop which Nicola cleaned inside and in the rear kitchen area.

After prepping and cleaning both, I started on paint for the cabinet, and have to say I am pleased with the result.



I also painted the star the same red as what went on the cabinet.



I also had Charlie the farmer stop by while he was spraying the rear field to pick up some miniature Toby jugs that he collect, which I found at the one bootfair, he then asked for all my used chainsaw blades, as he has just bought a sharpening machine, and offered to sharpen my used chains...... perfect trade.



He also looked at the pump as if I was a messiah, and said he would be rummaging in the farms old parts store to see if the brass pump nozzle he thinks is there, is still there, which may then find its way down here. RESULT !!!
