My wife took a couple of abused barrels and scattered them in her gardens as “interest pieces”. She says I should be flattered she even pays attention to my hobbies.

those ideas are great. Sometimes it would like a photo from their realization, but even without it, it's great that the wives are also involved :lol: :D :P

Oh my!!! Phrasing on that response might be a little off. No, Janice does not spend much time in the cold and is comfortably wrapped in her blanket reading or such, most days. When the thaw comes then she is in her gardens throughout most days. She delights in scattering old oil cans, bike parts and other industrial items through the garden.
I will get that picture of her displays when the snow clears a bit. Meanwhile I will stay hidden, working on the VA500 build, RE Bullet top end, BSA Thunderbolt project, Bantam D1 ignition and wiring upgrade then there is the Norton S to get on with or NH with sidecar project perhaps.

I'm over on Bere Island for a couple of weeks.

Last year I stored one of my bikes here so I thought I should drag her out and for a ride around the island

'Huntmaster by moonlight'. First time I've seen one of those, maybe we'll get some pics of bikes by moonlight to complement the ones of bikes in sunshine!

Thanks for the pics Steve.

Must have been the Guinness that made me think of taking the photo :)
