car fixed

Hurrah think the car is finally fixed with the right part. DH got up really early this morning to get it to the garage and hopefully that is it now.

We drove to Yorkshire with the old exhaust still on as we had to leave before they could mend it but apart from the rattles on starting and braking it was OK. I had to drive all the way as DH had develped a bad back and could barely move and he found it too difficult to operate the clutch. Anyway we arrived just in time for "Strictly"

We spent a lovely Sunday. We went to York in the morning and had a walk along the river and in the park. Our 1 year old grandson loved the slide and climbing frame and loved being pushed along on his little trike.

On Monday we popped over to DD2 as they want to build an extension and want DH to draw up the plans. He popped some pills and the back eased somewhat although I was still putting his shoes and socks on!!!

In the evening we had the big bonfire and loads of fireworks, jacket pots, hotdogs and soup - yummy.

Yesterday was the long drive home via a teamie from UKS to drop off some books, a visit to our motorhome dealer to get a new shower tray and then Myford metal lathe people to get some bits for the lathe ( what else!). Finally DH managing some of the driving.
