a tough day for all the Rust boys today….

BOTH Elliot and Oliver have been awarded their first pair of spectacles following a light weakening in their left eyes… They are both for very occasional use – such as back of classroom type stuff. Elliot’s will prove useful in night driving scenarios

Then, Simon has reached the point where multi focal lenses are the recommendation 🙁

oh well, at least we will all be able to see better….

As always, we never want to drive them after a fab clean…. See below for why…

… so we are ready for wood burning action….

typically it is a little warmer this evening so will probs be waiting until next week to go for our first burn of the autumn ☺️

Elliot and Simon chopped the logs from last spring and have placed them around the back of the garage to dry – they might be usable next winter.

We will have the remains of the large tree in the back garden that died last year to chop soon enough – once we have found a tree surgeon to carefully take it down for us. It will likely provide a couple of years of heat once it down and chopped accordingly – big job ahead of us however….

Separately we have been practicing bite points on the back lane 👌
