Lorry

Just had to get this ... Needed it when we saw the lorry! It's vast! It's a fantastic lorry, nice space for the boys, they can even look out the window as we go. Human space is pretty damn good as well. We were tempted to just camp in it for a week in Sue's front garden.
There was no chance of missing Sue's house when we went to fetch it, she'd just come back from the service station and was pulling into her drive. It couldn't have been anything else but 'The Turd'! Shell and myself simultaneously squeaked "it's huge"....
There was an event and barbecue for the children at the yard this morning, so we haven't had a chance to load the boys and see what they think (not that they have a choice).

We have all the bits and pieces more or less assembled and ready to load, although I can't shake the feeling I've forgotten something important. Can anyone think what it might be? My brain perhaps?










This is a much classier specimen altogether than our hairy horrors (sorry boys, no offence, but...)
The sexy beast in question is Chigago, who is owned by Sue and ridden by Piggy French. We had a good look at some of his other pics and left feeling thoroughly scruffy...
Never mind, the boys will be following in noble footsteps (sort of), we will have fun once the nerves wear off, and hopefully raise lots more money. Yes, that was a hint!
It's hard to believe that this time tomorrow we should actually be riding the Ridgeway :-)
I'm hoping to keep this updated throughout, if Alex will oblige.
HUGE thanks again to Sue Crane for the lorry.
