Catching the sun!

Was such a lovely day, after cleaning the drive chain I thought I'd roll the old girl out the shed to catch a few rays!

Must have had all the good stuff over in the West today, here in Northumberland it's been misty all day, we had a trip to Sunderland Glass Centre, saw them blowing hot glass, amazing skill (they don't actually blow very much more to do with gravity and knowing the state of the glass), it's on the banks of the Wear at time you could barely see the ship on the other side

Had a bit of mist first thing but it's been a cracking day.
Love glass blowing....a real art. May have to pay a visit over there.

Looks good Shaun.
Don,t forget to add some pipe insulation or similar around the frame top tube prior to fitting the tank, also there should be some rubber buffers in the holes on the lower tube brackets where the inner side of the tank sits.
