Freedom Regained.


That was a bit hectic............

I don't care what anyone says, this is not the same!


Off we mooched to a garage where we bought our last car from, only to be confronted by a Tesco. That was a bit ironic as most of our time aboard was spent trying to find a Tesco and this one fell into our lap.
The main problem though, is that as yet, Tesco do not sell cars.

Walking around trying to source a car failed dismally, as did the bus - fourteen pounds return for a fourteen mile round trip - Use public transport? I don't think so!
Taxi?
Are you mad?
Hire car?
Mmmm.
Thirty pounds a day during the week, or the weekend special rate of three days for.............. thirty five pounds.
Eh?
No, It's right, only a fiver more for two extra days.

We found what we wanted about forty miles from base on Friday and picked it up Saturday. Result!

Took the hire car back this morning  and we are now free again.

We used to do a bit of buying and selling boats before, so it would be easy to slip back into that just to keep the wolf from the door.
I was a little bit rusty on the finer points of Ebay and lost our first catch by being three seconds to eager.

Oh well, tomorrow's another day, as the red one says.



Until next time........................
