Beryl Rides Again...

For those of you that have been having sleepless nights after I blogged the current plight of Beryl and her Rego woes, I can put your mind at rest... the great news is that she rides again! This will come as a relief to Ross at work who was starting to think that my suggested car sharing plan for this term was an elaborate get out of jail free card for when she was scrapped!



She now comes complete with new oil, an accelerator pedal, a new tyre, a bodged roofing lining (...I have longer term plans for that!!!) and a pass certificate. All for the princely sum of £232! ... which is less than we'll be spending on the Yak this year which will cost us that in tyres alone (... beetle tyres small like a rubber bound shirt button and therefore much cheaper!!!)

One change I'm not sure about is the lifting of the suspension... it will take a little getting used to. I can now actually drive straight up the drive without fear of getting stuck like this!!

Hi Pauly

Great news with Beryl! Great photos of Simpsons! Great photos of Alfie enjoying the open road!
Glad that sun did come out!
Hope that Beth is recovering!
Hope you are almost ready for HVGS!
Hope Alfie will enjoy his pre 1st birthday week!
Leave England 6 months today!
With love and all good wishes
