On the combined vote of her peers in Birmingham our darling daughter Lorna today ran along the main street of Eton carrying the torch of the 2022 Commonwealth Games. It had already travelled through 72 countries before the UK en route to Birmingham, England.

In other news the three wheeled Geest truck is almost finished and our winch-trolley was earning its vintage keep again, lifting the front end clear of the ground so that its front wheel (singular) could be removed, adjusted and refitted:
Besides the front wheel, the engine started first-pull today and the gearbox is now fully adjusted. Reverse, neutral, first, second and third can now be selected at a flick.
Plan now is it get it road registered if we can. Big boys toys eh?
