In the Beginning.... There was Hard Rubbish.

Every great story must have its genesis. Ours began with the annual hard rubbish collection in our neighbourhood and a certain little unloved object of the two wheeled variety.

We spotted it whilst driving one day and did the typical hard rubbish stop in the middle of the road forgetting that there might be people needing to get to their super urgent important destinations behind us.

Unfortunately, because we show an unnerving lack of foresight, our one and only household car is a sedan and so Mz.P sprung out and claimed the little beauty whilst Gerard headed home in the car.
Mz.P wasn't far behind as luckily our new precious was only just down the street and soon the Le Tour de Wunderbar (apologies to any French or Germans checking in as we bastardise both of your languages) was sitting in our shed.



A bit of a polish and she was soon ready to be put up for sale online. She wasn't sitting there for very long when we had some interest and a sale. A nice little profit and any banker in the room want to tell us the ROI on something you get for free?
We looked at each other and said, you know, I wonder if we can make a habit of this?

And so the first seeds, the sprout of an idea and an adventure was born. Hard rubbish, alas, only lasts but a few short, joyful weeks, but hey, there are a plethora of Op Shops around these parts. Maybe it's time to give them a visit...
