We have a wonderful wheel barrow you know....I didn't think about it until the other day, but this is the best wheel barrow we've ever had.....it's a real joy to work with it....it says its made in France....and its the first time we've had one that has a tyre with a valve...so its very nice to go places with it...it got a bit flat the other day and so we had to pump it up.....but going over big bumps is much better with a tyre like this.
