Ours not looking so pretty - half drained and few slabs lifted. Got to fully drain next week ready for the boys to cut in 2 new inlets, lift about 25% of the slabs and replace the buried pipework

Nice, I have garden envy.
I don't have a long stretch of lawn like that, I'd struggle to fit a cricket pitch on ours, then it goes into a wild rockery area that someone else built with monster rocks that would take a crane to get rid of.
My grandparents had a couple of tennis courts and a long lawn, it always brings back good memories to see a decent long lawn.
Time to go old school, hammer, chisel and feathers. Then wheel barrow it away.

Is that a 'long way round' pannier glued on the back?
Not actually sure what they are? There’s a young couple looking at it now and they can only be late 30s or early 30s? That spec defender is the best part of £100k!

It's not about how much it costs to buy, it's all about the monthly payment on the PCP.
That's why every man and his dog on council estates are driving C class mercs.

Ahh hadn’t thought of that! Still not sure I’d want those kind of payments though!
Sitting here herding all my courage together to go across the road to a bar that is showing the rugby tonight. It's not somewhere I normally go and is very local. I really don't go there on my own unless I know friends are there or arriving!! LOL
Luckily I did check and a french friend is also going to watch the match, so at least there'll be one friendly face
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

You're going to support the country that made your motorcycle, right?

TBF, I started off supporting the one I live in, but I did start to feel sorry for the bike makers

but it doesn't always seem to work like that.
