We've got a lot of work to do on the house, but as the proverb goes 'The man who wishes to move a mountain, starts by taking away small stones'. Things to do include buying lumber for raised beds and compost heaps, buying a second-hand ride-on mower to conquer the rolling acres of grassland of which we have become the witless custodians - and probably in the future several miles of sheep wire to render the property dog-proof - of which more later.
Therefore, we have invested in a necessary pre-requisite - a trusty 'Ute' - or utility vehicle. Here it is enjoying the unseasonal sun this weekend:
Now let's be honest - we don't really need a massive 4x4 - but it is going to be very useful in transporting all of the raw materials for our DIY and countryside pursuits. And, let's face it, as Jo pointed out, we are now nouveaux-rural, so it is de rigeur. Perhaps most importantly, it makes me very happy.
