Is that the rustling of leaves, or the sound of Summer leaving?

Summer 2010/ 2011, what a blast! What a season. It was fairly wet, a bit humid, the grass didn't stop growing, neither did Tess. All in all, a splendid few months.

  What... another one? Yup, this is (will be) the family wagon. A proud 1973 HQ Kingswood Wagon, stripped down to its most rudimentary parts and getting a rebuild.

The colour Ive chosen is green.. really really bright green. There are far too many white, drab silver and metallic gold-grey cars on the road.

As for the M21 (old BSA bike). That has also taken me to another level. Most unfortunately, its not mine and belongs to a mate who allowed me to assist in its rebirth. Kindly he allowed me to hold onto it for a bit while it I give it a tune, run-in, tighten down, another tune, another run-in.... maybe another run-in if the weather is good on Sunday. (So very cruisey).


I'm going to cheat here and throw in a random sample of March.
I will have to browse the going ons of Summer and put in a Summer entry next.... maybe during the depths of Winter when I grow tired of de-frosting the axe before getting the firewood in.

And of course, Tessera soaking up the afternoon warmth on the verandah and enjoying the fact that she has helped HD and I see the sunrise almost every morning for the past 6 months. All of which have been fine :)
