I was searching through some old emails and stumbled across this.
With special thanks to Paddy for what was one day to get this done… at the time [and still] it was so much appreciated. A great song and tells the No rubber Soul story story so well. Read the full story here.

yes, you read it right! I did the car [click here] and the boat [click here]. And you guessed I want to do a plane. It completes the trilogy of land, sea and air.

I made a conscious decision some time ago that if the earth, landscaping to be precise, was my work then I as best as possible and the donegan landscaping team should work to a little more for the earth. It sounds like a fair deal and it is. It wasn’t that I/we did nothing green [...]
