This is a photograph of 'Goody' prepared for winter with all the chrome work waxed over (hence the 'dull' look). The English winter weather can be quite damp so some extra protection is required for any unheated storage buildings. At the moment the daytime temperature is hovering around freezing point here in the North East of England.

Barry, two great photos. So that rail at the head of the ladder was not a tack-on afterall. Pity about your weather, 25 degrees c here in Perth today although normally at this time of the year one can expect around 35c so no complaints, , ,
