The birth of our new family member

In the beginning

It was a wet and windy night as we 'slowly' and 'carefully' made our way along the M4. Mark took charge of Rollie with me in the Tank as police escort bringing up the rear.

Apart from the pouring rain, the blinding spray and the sudden gusts of wind, the journey was a bit of a white knuckle ride....

Still, we made it home safely and already well and truly bonded. She is going to keep us very busy over the forthcoming winter months but with some extra special TLC we'll have her chomping at the bit come the spring.

I seriously cannot wait to get going!

So I spent this morning (Sunday) scrubbing the cooker etc and taking down the curtains and the cushion covers to wash them at the highest temperature my machine can reach!

We tried out the cooker and that worked well. Mark bought a stearing lock, but it didn't really fit very well so we will have to re-think.

I shall leave the mechanical stuff for another day methinks!
