If I were so lucky I’d be torn between running it or putting in a prominent place in a bespoke walnut and glass display case for all to admire… If it were mine, I would be running the wheels off of it. Well, maybe not literally, but it would get a lot of use. I would get a couple of used MK1s and run it in tourist service. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) See how I spoil her. . It's taken almost 50 years to get 'Mrs. br2975' to appreciate the delights of 'window hanging' - 'smoke smuts' and street running.......... I suspect the smile may be forced as she is still hard to 'fathom out' after all these years.. . Bad Doberan last week. .

Do you know, I’ve never noticed that. They are like that because they are normal to the path and steps leading down to the shed, which is at an angle to them. They’ve got to be normal to something after all. Dave PS Before you lot start, I’m using normal in the mathematical sense of at right angles to. 8 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour of sheep varies greatly depending on the breed as does the amount of the head that is dark in colour. Near Lambourn a few years ago there was a big flock of black sheep with just one white one. Have they any wool? 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
