Always good when my Caber Coffee order arrives. This is only half of it, and there was another bag of decaf which they have ground for a friend. Service, as ever, was fantastic, only ordered yesterday morning.

One of my lovely Monday Doodles*, for #FordFriday
RS200. 😍
*Monday Doodles are literally a doodle that I’ve spent a whole Monday on. Some take 8 hours, some have taken 17. All have been £175+p&p.
The RS sold immediately.. 🥰

Turbo Tuesday: I offer a service for all you model collectors out there - original art for your scale models! Sometimes, the backdrops aren’t all that interesting, are they? If you’d love to own original art but don’t have wall space, why not use it to enhance your collection instead..?

Fortunately, screw was right in the centre of the tyre and still there. Had fortunately not been completely flat and the driving on it I had to do hadn't damaged the sidewalls, so it could be repaired!
Bugger. Got a puncture on the way home. Only did it's MOT and service and new discs and pads yesterday!

I was under the impression that I had a buyer for this piece, but it hasn’t been paid for and they’re not responding to my messages. So, if I hear nothing before 8pm today, this will be back on the market.

No artist owes you ANYTHING.
Buying art is a luxury. It's not something you can't live without.
You choose to buy it because you love it, it makes you feel something. Not because you need it.
As such, support to the artist is implied.
If any of the above is not for you, then don't buy art.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

We will remember them.

Just managed to get the Fiesta washed before the sun set... Looking good from a few feet back again and a couple of minor bits so it's ready for its service and MOT on Tuesday now.

Had a couple of hours free in Coventry this afternoon while the eldest did her Oxford entrance exam. I'd never been to the Coventry Transport Museum, so put that right. Definitely worth a visit, so much more than these 2, but LSR cars are the stars.

Visitor at work just now. Excuse the reflection, phone camera and window between us! Anyone able to confirm, is it a Sparrowhawk?
