First Steps..

Well, she's here and she's beautiful, and with a few minor tweaks she will soon be working like a dream. This week is all about testing, re-testing, tweaking and testing again, so we started our day with a good old play. Cue plenty of ooh-ing and aah-ing and 'what-shall-we-put-in-there' ing.

Proud Mother

Two cups of tea later, we were ready to get the barrow on the road for her first test, much to the delight (and confusion) of a group of Bin men on their tea break. We soon discovered that the barrow is a bit of a head turner, and you can see why. It's highly unlikely that you'll have seen anything quite like it before. We're so sure of that fact, that if you have, Chloe has bravely volunteered to eat all of our hats.

On our spin around the block, we discovered that she's nose heavy (very good news for our biceps), responsive, has an impressively tight turning circle and also, has a bit of a life of her own. Is it strange that this writing desk on wheels is already displaying a bit of personality? (She is however, as first thought, undoubtedly a girl, and a spirited one at that). And personally, I discovered that I need thicker thermals..

But with no time to rest on our laurels, or our mountain bike wheels, it's back to base for us and the barrow. We've got a show to make, and Ed has a few augmentations still up his sleeve. So watch this space for updates, and to watch this baby grow. Roll on Saturday and Love Dawlish.
