Mucking around ...

As good as Nick's boot-brusher is, there are times when the mud is too thick for sweeping to be effective. 

We are becoming regulars at the recycling shop and on a recent visit I spotted (among other things!) a collection of stove parts.   

One of those has now been employed as a boot-scraper and sits beside our boot-brusher - not bad for $2.50, eh?!  (Yes, we love a bargain)!
