As Fuchsia reminds me - ps your ravelry link on your blog will only work for those with a ravelry account. http://zeitgeistyarns.
I also have been tweeted, cool, thanks hawleyrose.
Something a tad different, yesterday Tom and Liz and I went out to visit an old friend Col, who is a prospector and collector. He had a WWII tank and another bloke had a plane so they swapped - as you do-the plane came in on a low-loader a few weeks ago and Col has been busy tiding her up and painting her pretty again. Of course she will never fly but what a thing to see in a paddock.
The de Havilland DH.104 Dove was a British monoplane short-haul airliner from de Havilland, the successor to the biplane de Havilland Dragon Rapide and was one of Britain's most successful post-war civil designs. The design came about from the Brabazon Committee report which called for a British designed short-haul feeder for airlines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Dove
Col also is planning to sell his Studebaker Hawk and Tom is thinking about letting his beloved Mainline ute go so the time was right for a unique photo op.
A work in progress
In this line-up, from left to right-
1959 Studebaker Silver Hawk
1953 de Havilland Dove
1952 Ford Coupe Mainline Utility
Then Col's son arrived in his 1943 Ford GPW Jeep (finally something older than me).
How cool is that?
Awesome...now all we need is a Zepplin for the final stage.
