lightning in garden
Why is that lightning in the garden and not in a more protected space? She looks in good nick really it is a shame to see her mounted like that.

When we used to fill those white plastic bottles up, with the long flexi spout on some would spill on the ground, the worms would come screaming out of the ground like F3’s on reheat!

Ill be working that weekend (Booooo) but enjoy your look around XP706 isnt in the public area so if you wanna have a look ask someone and im sure they will take you round the back to have a look. I warn you now she dont look too good at the min with only half a wing and wires hanging out all over the place.
