That painting tray is superb, it looks exactly like the sort of things my father used to make for the caravan (some shelving and a storage box spring to mind) and is even painted the same colour,a pleasingly 50's kitchen hue.Springinsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14088330681756351208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929808893459817585.post-72118929128820851292013-05-22T03:22:41.991-07:002013-05-22T03:22:41.991-07:00James, we do have them, and don't visit nearly...James, we do have them, and don't visit nearly as often. Evidently these were group visits and I had no opt-out clause! One of the visits was supposed to be a drop-in so I could pick up a breadloaf, ended up with the other couples spending too much on wine (£140 and £104 respectively, the other two visits were similar, on top of a day long trip round 4 'caves' to buy direct) MrsJ and I reckon that about £1000 was spent between them, more than we use in a few years. One couple is going back in October to 'top up'! joppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334867727613848852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929808893459817585.post-5822882649508389492013-05-21T16:31:35.988-07:002013-05-21T16:31:35.988-07:00Just as well you weren't tempted to paint whil...Just as well you weren't tempted to paint whilst driving! However, if it was me I'd be staying in the van painting whilst the missus did her site seeing in the supermarkets. Don't you have supermarkets in Pommyland?
