[FLYING BANANA]

................................................. Lovely god daughter Kirra. Along with her brother Domonic we played games, ate pizza's, munched on sticky chocolate chip cookies and drank lots of juice.
I'm now stuffed, tired and my bladder has gone into hyper drive. But oh! Boy have I enjoyed the day.

I bought some beautiful peach coloured Rose's for Kirra's mum Shelley, took beer for dad Mike and a few sweets for the Rugrats. It's roughly a 70 mile drive to their place from Michaels and Redfive hummed along ok. But I'm suspecting that the clutch maybe slipping, another job along with the top mounts to be sorted out.

I cannot believe the amount of new houses being built that is being carried out on the outskirts of both Braintree and Halstead. More traffic for the narrow roads to cope with. And what about the infrastructure of doctors and schools. Don't suppose they will be cheap either, no chance of youngsters getting on the property market.
Saw a stunning Alvis TD41 in that light metallic Blue they done them in. And it was on chrome wire wheels. Driven by a elderly chap. He acknowledged my wave.

So far Redfive has travelled over 500 miles on one tankful, but I topped it up this evening. As we have to go to Enfield then Waltham Cross to collect two passengers before driving up to the Shuttleworth Ollection close to Biggleswade. Then naturally enough the return journey back.
Be another late night. I might have to leave Redfive across the road somewhere as reversing onto the drive is a pain in a narrow road that Michael lives in. The neighbour's are not exactly helpful in leaving a lot of room.

Thanks for the kind comments.
