HELLO AND GOODBYE!

Aside

Hello to the bluebells popping up in my garden joining the symphony of blue – gentian, grape hyacinths and forget me nots.

Goodbye to the Bluebell who has been my friend for ten years. When I look out of the kitchen window she isn’t there and I didn’t even get to say farewell. MTL thought it would be kinder, once we knew it would cost a king’s ransom to restore her to proper working order, to take her straight to the knacker’s yard.

So we’ve down-sized to one car. What with our obligatory no flying, we are becoming greener by the minute. No regrets - the joy of driving on the open road has long gone and I now have to get proficient in driving the family car – avoiding jutting walls. That’s what really did Bluebell in when I took the girls to the Brendon Valley. Fingers crossed and wish me luck please.
