Title: Another new lottie owner
Post by: ScrumpyJack on January 23, 2004, 13:42:12

Just thought I'd say hi as I (well my partner in crime) got the keys to the gate of our lottie yesterday    ;D

I've acquired a rusty wobbly wheelbarrow, and some second hand tools and am ready to bash some brambles, shift some rubble (the neighbours old wall i think?) and get started.  The advice and enthusiasm I've gleaned from this site in the last two weeks or so  has helped enormously - I have the confidence to get stuck in  -  thank you

Don't blame us for your aching joints!! = Tim

PS - Was asked in my pre-war School Certs to draw a wheelbarrow. Easy? Was it hell!!!

My delightful partner in crime rears his ugly head.  sorting the lottie out will be a piece of cake, in comparison to putting up with him!  I foresee spades drawn at dawn

Don't let the poor liitle mite hear you say that  :(  

We acquired a sad looking wheelbarrow but he definitely still has life in him.  

Colin has given up on him though, but I just see it that he now has a new younger friend too take the strain for him  :)

Don't get me wrong, the barrow has my fullest respect, its been in my family longer than me, the wobbly rustiness is merely an additional charming feature, reminding me of childhood days, I remember when.........
