    Hello all,
    I'm the new kid on the choppin' block.
    You can find my intro here http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/a-newbie-hoarder-from-the-motherland.25399/ :handshake:

    Park Life? The man, the electric buggy and a whole heap of green.

    I work in a public Park, North of the big smoke (London, UK) in a wee place called, Enfield. And during my 30+ years of service I have taken a few pictures along the way and will continue to chart my journey through green and pleasant park-land via picture and the odd word or three. I will share some of those pictures and thoughts with you during the course of this thread.

    Let's get started.

    Here is my electric vehicle. I gave it the name 'The Bob Mobile' as seen on the front of the buggy. The battery powered chariot come with an impressive collection of soft cuddly toys. My eyes and ears :D

    Are the headphones for communication, or for tunes? I like the stuffed animals, makes your rig look friendly.

    Hi MW,
    The headphones are radio/ear protectors. Made by Husqvarna.

    Cheers

    Hey, with all those stuffed toys, you could very well start a tradition of handing them out to the little kids you meet along the way!

    If I started handing toys out to the local kids (without wearing a big bushy white beard and red outfit) I'd be arrested. That's the state of play now in this country.... but that's for another thread.

    Ho Ho Ho!

    Park Keeper @ play.
    I'm centre of image beside Yellow hat.

    White water rafting...with and without the raft :picard:Out of six runs I left the boat 4 times! Much fun was had by all :hair:
    It feels like I've gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson and for that reason I'm calling it a night.

    Goodnight my log stashing friends.

    B:yes:B

    A man can't function properly without a decent cup of Coffee!
    Say hello to Dan, the Sprout Van Man. :handshake:

    Dan, kindly makes me Coffee each and every morning just for bringing his table and chairs to him. Not a bad trade, me thinks ;)

    That is a gorgeous tree! What about the rest, annoying leaf-dropping parasites?

    Yeah, nasty little gumballs. Had a place that was surrounded by these trees, they were jaw-dropping GORGEOUS in the fall. The light that came in my kitchen window was pink.
    But the gumballs--ouch!
