and thanks all for the advice about electric without home charger its hugely appreciated a lot there i hadnt thought about and will now build into the equation.
the big boost pardon the pun is that dobbies are now online and i am there at least once a month for a bimble and a free coffee so thats an easy top up. plus any excuse to get more gardening supplies.
probably cost me more in compost and manure than fuel.
