Escape from the painting!

[gumpt1oo]

I have not posted much recently due to being very busy with house renovations and painting.
Here's an action shot, (don't tell the 'elf n safety' !)

And the finished job! (just got the chimney left to do)

I got the painting finished on Sunday, so with Monday being a bank holiday, I fired up the Scrambler and escaped for a couple of hours.
I went down into Lancashire and across the Trough of Bowland, then into Yorkshire across the moors back into Cumbria. About an 80 mile round trip, but it was good to blow the cobwebs off!
Here's some pics from the ride.

If you look closely there's a sheep in this one for Devo! LOL

Sure beats painting the house!

Ha, just goes to show you have a trained eye for sheep! I never spotted them!

First you work and then you play.
Good job all round

Nice painting job and ride photos.
I never liked working above the ground but I can't these days because of a health condition.
That first shot almost got me spinning just looking at it.

Great job on the painting and the roads look like fun. Now when you get my house done I'll show you some roads around here with some longhorns, we don't mess with sheep.

But not as much of a challenge as a mean ol' heifer.

Good job on the painting, I gotta get round to doing the outside of my house too.
That plastering finish must eat a lot of paint?

The roads look good around your area, are they normally that quiet?

I used 90 litres of white, and 10 litres of black!

The roads are a bit off the beaten track and don't get much tourist traffic. Mainly locals that drive like lunatics on them!
