Outdoor painting can be a dangerous job !

Robert, indeed ! Another time I tried to turn around my car in a narrow lane, reversed it a bit too much when making the U turn, and the car tires got stuck in a ditch ! The more I reved up the car accelerator, the more it splattered the mud around; I was about to call the AA when two Welsh farmers came up and helped me by pushing the car forward from the back, whilst I accelerated it at full speed until it came unstuck ! I was thinking... If I don't get this car forward, the force will make the car roll backwards and I will end up squashing my benefactors, but fortunately it worked.

Hi Maria

Ah, the thing to remember when the car's stuck in mud, is make sure the windows are closed, or else, the mud may come flying in.

I was wondering if you'd ever painted Mexico?
