If I had a wagon would I be tempted to paint it or leave it in its original condition - or as the experts say leave the patina! I came across this old horse drawn wagon at the side of a back road on one of my bike rides recently.
Much as some may say it wants to be restored there are others who would say it needs conserving rather than restoring. I have to say that it has loads of character the way it is. The farmers name and farm details would be some thing difficult to replicate and lets be honest who, even if it were restored, would be able to use it with those metal rimmed wheels? Likelihood is that anyone brave enough to ride it would need the services of a chiropractor afterwards! Hopefully someone loves it and sees sense so it will be put under cover and steps taken to prevent any further deterioration. I will go back later and see!
