I see a few toys for you to play with good one the fastest thing I have is my tractor ?? you are lucky to have the shop and the local hotel not far from you I have to drive a 60 km round trip to the shop and the pub and the next town is 60 odd kms away from us 120 round trip but that's life and I do not mind it at all right into Pigeons I see that the only Pigeons we have are the wild type Pests and try to get into anything they can
