Getting from A to B...

Cars, love em or hate em, most likely they are part of your life once you learn to drive you can become reliant on them, like me!

I've loved the Landies I've had over the last 5 or so years and had some great fun off-roading in them. I still love having the Discovery for the height and when it snows and when we go camping.

But since the change in my circumstances and the reduction in the number of days I can cycle into work the Disco is costing me a small fortune in fuel. So I guess it has to go. It's very sad indeed but we have to move on. Back to a boring car for me :-(

A weekend in Harrogit!!

I had a stunning weekend in Harrogit (as the gf pronounces it!).

It started really badly. a row on friday morning which threatened big things during hours of non-comunication. I was thinknig the worst and thought she was probably thinking the worst as she travelled up on the train. It errupted over breakfast and when I'd heard nothing by about 4 pm thought I'd text. At first she was ice cold but after a few words of explanation she seemed to melt and that gave me all the excuse I was looking for.

By the time I'd driven up there the next day she had obviously reasoned it out whilst enjoying the company of her closest friends. She was on good form.

A little later she went and got changed into a dress and shoes that made her look truly stunning. I could barely keep my eyes off her! I had n't realised she had legs like that!

So she buzzed around her long lost friends at her best pal's birthday party whilst I chatted to people I'd met earlier. She started with her ex. They were engaged when she was 18 and he was doing the disco. She was n't there long though but I think my presence might have stopped him from getting more friendly. We had a great night thou, drinking chatting and some pretty close dancing as well and everbody I met was just lovely.

Next day I hung around for a nice pub lunch before I had come home to await the kiddies at 5.30. She stayed another day to visit close friends who were frustrated that they did not get to meet her new man, and then her mum, lol.
