Probably be doing some more roofing work there next week so I'll remember to take my camera.

(If you're wondering why a 70 year old ex-sparky is wandering around on roofs, believe me ... you're not alone !!)


Bob, the only sports car I know of to be called 'frogeyed' is the original Austin Healey Sprite.
Quite rare and sort after these days.


As for working on roofs - join the club, I've done nothing but loads of building work since retiring and enjoy every minute (at 73).
