Been watching Yorkshire Car Restorations' Talbot Matra Rancho restoration. It's one of the last right hand drive models left. It's full of rust but, fortunately, a lot of the body is fibreglass. I'm finding it very interesting. Here's the link to part 1 https://youtu.be/ANfiRANItHc?feature=shared a...

I like it with roughly chopped new potatoes, corned beef and butter

Does it blow sand under a train wheel to give it grip?

Colin had his digger out in the spring and was making some changes..... Certainly worth some exploratory digging where Colin was making changes, should be relatively easy digging if it's already been dug up. How are your digger driving skills? :laugh5: :laugh5: :laugh5: Ah! :biggrin2:

I have booked a table at The Hare and Hounds, in Foulridge, for a roast dinner today. The food is very good there

There is one problem that has me beaten at the moment, which is water springing from the ground infront of the barn door. It is running steadily out and down towards the gate making everywhere wet and muddy. It can only be a blocked land drain somewhere and I need to try and discover where! This is...

Gardening? For pruning?

My wife found out that our dog (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian. The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell Andrea that, if she wanted to keep this from recurring...
