Drove through a rather large puddle where a drain had burst locally yesterday afternoon near to the Polling Station, and inadvertently soaked the local Labour entourage in the process....shame!  Foraging near Gaydon....

Got up at 4am and went to work, home by 10am, then took the new wheels to show the in-laws. Drove to Woodfordes Brewery for lunch and handed the keys to the wife. 3 pints in fatigue took over and I was then able to nod off while the wife drove me home. Result! Td4 XS manual, Orkney Grey, MY2014

Whilst looking at some corn fields I could resist going for a play on this grassy bank just above the sea. Stayed on the levelish bit as the rest of the field was seriously steep then a 30 foot cliff and rocks / sea - wouldn't have been a good ending to the day.

Packed the freel today with all the holiday kit for the wife and kid. Car trip around the country planned. Set off this morning and all went well till about 3pm when the car broke down. Suspected fuel pump failure. Recovery truck took three hours and now we're back where we started less the car. Three visits to the garage this week including a service already....

Grasmere and Langdale today

If my wife ever sells my stuff for what I told her I paid for it, there will be some bargains out there!

Took the wife's polo for a makeshift holiday while the fl2 is being repaired. New throttle body and a couple hundred pounds later and the car's ready. I'm two hundred miles away by now

Finished the service.
One week oil and filter, next week fuel filter and so on.... Weeks later when you least expect it.... all done!

Took my two Welsh Collies to the coast late this afternoon, 29 miles.
Lots of ball 'throwing' on the beach (not forgetting doggies bags).
Nice and warm, 22 deg (not the doggie bags!)
Fish and chips tea to boot!
Quintessential British! Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Did some fishing on beautiful Orkney. Well worth the 10 hour journey to get here.

Photo of Orkney, no success when fishing but scenery is a bit special.

Today, nothing.
Last Saturday I drove chief timekeeper the full route of Merrick Stages Forrest Rally, about 50-55 miles using GGS mode.
