One day I'll manage a visit to see them Kevin. I've heard lots of story's and it sounds like a fascinating place.

I hope there's a gift shop where I can buy a keyring. :lol:
Versus forms of payment are taken for entre. One of them is if you have a different matching set of Rover key rings to help me identify my cars. If you cannot get your car keys of the key ring we will just keep them as well. The is aextra charge if you do not bring your mint Rover with you and I have to collect it later :lol:

The next time I pop over for the day (or two or three), you can tag along. You can help clear space to get more cars inside. Once that's done, there are a few pots to sort into neat piles. It won't take too long. 😚

There's no tearoom though! 😭

Nice 45 and you will find it is a colour that stays clean looking throughout the winter. 8)

What he is not telling you is that you have to get the plants out off the pots first....

The tearoom was put on hold for covid as was the breakfast bar but hopefully will be able to reopen shortly.

The campsite is also available ( once we get some cars out the way ) and it you do not have a caravan or Campervan we have one available to hire once the plumbing is sorted.

For those the do not like slumming if the is a travel log less than5 minutes walk away and Nick has a growing list off Hotels that he has testing out within 15/20 minutes drive.

A couple of big sheds and racking and make a proper parts store with an inventory of stuff rather than just leaving them turn to dust.

To get back to the subject (!), Topcat's new owner is making rapid progress and in the process making me feel quite tired. :D

An original steering wheel and radio have been sourced and fitted. The wheels have been refurbished and it's going into the paint shop next week for the new spoiler to be fitted and painted along with a few other areas.

I can't wait to see the finished article!
