Laying up the car ready for winter

[Reckless Rat]

Rodents can definitely be a problem as in the winter they're always on the lookout for a cosy place to nest up in, and the interior of an Austin Seven can be a very desirable residence. Ideally what you need is a "Horreo" - it's a little building found in Galicia in Spain, designed for storing and drying corn and apparently, rodent proof due to the elevated design. I spotted lots of them on my run to Santiago.



This is my RP parked up while I took the photo, you can see another one in another garden further up the road.



Not sure how you'd get the Austin in one though!
