...........................................to find that we have now lost another 2 parking spaces. The lady that lives opposite me is having building work done and her front garden is now a building site. Means that Banana is ok in her spot but the Bear has to now park in the road. Nothing I can do about it, just one of those things. Parking is getting even tighter around here.

Anyway on a lighter note. We got home in 4 hours exactly, 240 miles, with one stop. Traffic fairly light, even the M25 was clear. The Bear never missed a beat and growled her way through the 2 tunnels on the M25. Weather was a bit mixed from sunshine to hailstones back to the sun and onto sleet. Usual idiots on the road but we avoided them. And still people using their phones.

Brought home the bits required by the forum member, he's coming tomorrow morning to collect the stuff all packed in a large box. All part of the service in keeping our cars on the road.

A huge THANK YOU once again to Shirley and Matt for looking after me. Still cannot get over the fact of "Toffee", the cat, sitting on my chest to be stroked.

Off to get a wee bit of shopping just tide me over. Got the washing on, put the heating on and have checked the post. Oh! Go on then. Perhaps a cuppa first.

Best look away if you are nervous about mpg.
On our spirited drive on Sunday, the consumption dropped a bit. 15 mpg.
But the run home made up for it, we managed 21 mpg.

Covered 650 miles and the Bear tripped over onto 46k.

Our next tour starts this Friday with Banana.

Many thanks for reading about our trips out, and the comments. Will post up some pictures later.
