The camper van let us down !

The battery is holding some charge just not quite enough to start it reliably.

I've ordered a new 1.

We ended up going to Norfolk in Sue's car and having a socially distanced picnic in their garden :thumb:

 

It was good to actually see someone again!

 

long way to go there and back in 1 day though

I hope you had your passport ready at the Suffolk border...

:classic_biggrin: They live in Diss! So it's sort of Suffolk/Norfolk anyway:thumb:

 

We're sort of locals anyway, Sue was born there and I've been there a lot

My father once took me to a football match and we didn't even make it to half time. Something about me calling out to them to put some effort in and stop behaving like little ballet dancers.....

Actually I rather enjoyed it . I had a pie ,  that was rather ordinary , and some Bovril . It was a floodlit , Boxing Day match in which Coventry City beat Arsenal 3 - 2 . I must have sensed that it would never get better than that , apart from when they won the FA Cup , because I never went again .  The information below is actually incorrect . It was at Highfield road .

I used to go to watch Aston Villa’s home games in the late 1970’s. Not all ‘cos we were a bit short of money back then. It was a family afternoon out with my daughter and (now ex-) wife. 
 

I can’t stand the game now*, though I do follow the Villa’s fortunes from afar.

 

*the consequences being the willing parent and running a kids’ team for a few years.

I've been to a few games luckily on an invite with corporate hospitality, it would be rude to turn down such offers, it's very far removed from a warm pie and a pint.

Ahh , the traditional food of Scotland . This is the sight that greets you as you enter Gretna Services . All the supplies you need for a week's stay . I've set off on many a ride fuelled by strong coffee and a few Caramel Wafers .
