Braaaaaaaaap! I say cant a chap have a quiet walk with his girl, clear off.
They were all very well behaved young people.
The lady to the left of shot we caught up with, I asked if she was ok as she was struggling. First outing after double hip replacement. “ I`m just taking my time dear” . Good on ya missus.
Last of the snow went quickly so very wet roads, slushy patches here and there over Burbage where the sun don’t shine.
The much developed Hill Descent Control that I have a Patent Pending was useful twice,soon to be appearing on Dragons Den. Crap Video follows.
