Quite a bit of catching up to do here . . . The time is early August - the occasion, the acquisition of a trailer - the rationale, the fact that we'd also acquired a new car in early July and didn't want to mess up it's boot with garden debris.
So here we are, one new trailer duly assembled - which all went far more smoothly than some of the online trailer reviews led us to believe (the instructions weren't brilliant, but Martin's instincts for what went where didn't let him down!) - and hitched up to the new car (which we'd ordered with the necessary towing attachments).
And it's doing the job, taking away the accumulations of grass and hedge clippings, and bringing back former
boot-loads of wood. Still have to practice reversing the thing though - currently going with the manual 'un-hitch, unload, turn the car around, re-hitch' strategy!
