We had a visit from the rellies in the weekend. They came down in their empty horse truck, looking to see what they could take home. We’re cleaning out the garage, and son-in-law Robert’s eyes opened up with delight when he was told he could have “first dibs” on any unwanted tools and other items we no longer require. He soon gathered up an assortment of tools into a cardboard carton or two, and quickly stored them in the back of his truck. They will be helpful with his contracting business. He was thrilled to take ownership of several metal storage cabinets. Just think of all the bits and pieces he can store away in those cubby holes.

What else took their fancy? A picnic table and chairs, that will be great for when the family is away in the horse truck. And how about that large plastic chilly bin – just the thing for Robert to take on a fishing trip to keep his catch in. He loaded up the wheelbarrow with several lots of field drainage pipes and carefully stored them in the truck. He can use them on his property, he told us.

After a hearty lunch it was back to the garage to have another look around. That set of old car air horns, yes, I’ll take those, and are you sure you don’t want those car speakers, he asked. No, you can’t take those plastic storage bins, we told him, we need them ourselves. With everything safely stowed away, it was time to wave the rellies goodbye. They were taking a whole heap of stuff home, and doing us a favour at the same time, helping with our garage clean-out.
Homeward bound
