The Land Rover Defender has gone...

Our Defender has now been sold... We're sad to see it go, so here's a few photos of some of the fun we had with it.

Moving logs:

Near Dungeness, soon after we bought it:

Of course there were less happy times too, like when some numpty skidded into us on ice - though his radiator, bonnet and lights were busted while we had a bent bumper!

and when the clutch broke, while we were in the wood

Anyway, we have a Suzuki Grand Vitara now, which will hopefully be more reliable and practical, even if it doesn't have as much character.

Before we let the Defender go, we did have one last job for it, moving some more logs! Here's the pile after 12 trips back and forth:

We left some barrier tape round the pile to at least indicate to any passing children that it's not a safe place to climb. Doesn't mean they won't, of course, but we've done our bit.

Lastly, the Bluebells in Sweep Wood are looking amazing now! I'm going to get some more photos soon, but here's one to keep you going:
