26th July 2025 - Off the Road Again ...

Thought for the day :"Beavers aren't the only ones who block streams. In Holland they have hamsterdams."


A little Wet - just damp really 

So, it was Saturday and we decided that it would be a good idea to do a road trip up to Aberystwyth to get to the Tree Nursery to see if we can replace some of the trees that we lost in Storm Darragh .

And so we head off. But I have an alternative reason for wanting to go - the car has not driven a distance since it was fixed so I did not want Susie to be driving on her own down to Saundersfoot on her own and have a problem with the car.   

And as we get to Screwfix to buy some guerrilla duct tape the car goes once more into Limp mode with lights flashing on the dashboard and no transmission.

And so we spend a few hours waiting for the recovery - a lovely guy from St Dogmaels called Nick who has a partner and two daughters - or three with his partner - all of whom are studying music.   
We have invited him to come up to the Crimson Moon Tavern - friend with Olly the Tresaith Taxi Guy ..

But we do not get to look at some more trees ..

Susie has her Sea Fishing trip tomorrow so fingers crossed we will all go down in the Landie tomorrow and drop her off - explore Pembrokeshire and come home with Stuart picking her up to stay at Narberth and then pick her up on MOnday monring and get the shopping done 

Talking with Tom he is considering whether it may be a wiring loom problem that is giving the errors rather than an actual injector going again ..

We shall see .

Susie is determined to buy a (relatively) new car from a garage.  Not totally in favour but I understand her thoughts - she wants a car that is going to start if she needs it ..  


 
Cheers !
