It’s Tent It…..not ten tit ?
Carol decided we needed to do something different for New Year’s Day this year. Her idea was to take the dogs up Mount Keen So, after an early night on Hogmanay, we were up and out bang on 9am…as Carol Continue reading New Year’s Day 2019
Carol’s car is due a service & MOT. Previously this used to be a hassle, now it’s an opportunity for a 5k run home…changed days! Not sure about horsepower, buy two Spaniel power does help 😜 When I got back Continue reading Car in the garage
