Well, we'v almost adapted to being back home again - washing machine has worked overtime for a day and a half, and we've had to nip out and top up the larder supplies, and are slowly settling back into home life again after nigh on 5 weeks away. To be fair, the temperature up here in North Yorks is quite warm, but is at least 4 or 5 degrees cooler than Warwickshire where we spent the last two weeks.
I hadn't realised until we got to the caravan site on the outskirts of Leamington Spa that we were only 5.7 miles away from the British Motor Museum at Gaydon - the missus reckons that's why I picked the place - who, me ?!
The 75 (facelift) that they have in the 'reserve' building was a bit disappointing - it wasn't deemed important enough to be in the main display halls, and the shut lines around the bonnet and wings were pretty awful.
We spent a fair few hours there - even got SWMBO interested in a few motors from our teenage generation, so that day turned out well.

I'll post some photos up later once I've uploaded them to Flickr - for those who are either interested or just sad

Good morning Bob, good morning all

We are preparing to sell the Honda CRV and this morning we taking it in to have the ignition barrel replaced. When the car drives, any car key can be used to start it and when driving, the key sometimes comes out and the car can still be driven. A new buyer wouldn’t like this. Then we will go to Dent Magic to have the dents done. Its a petrol version and expensive to run. Apart from the key and petrol issue, it’s a beautiful car to drive.
