Neil,

The only bows I follow are the ones on my shoe laces!!!

Thanks for the comments folks.

Went down to a pal in Rathdrum, Wicklow for a late lunch today and came back across the Wicklow mountains.
It was a fabulous day for taking such a scenic drive.

Wasn't actually today, but "what did you do to your mini yesterday" was: I finished off removing the interior, bagged and tagged carpets and door cards for storing in the shed until the end of the project then swept up all the loose rust after it came free when i pulled out the newspaper and expanding foam repair job someone did on the sills. :roll:
