Christmas Lights

Getting a decent Christmas photo is harder than it seems!! Best I could do.. OK a good excuse for a bit of a run around to air Amy whilst she is being left out. There may be no rain, but there is a lot of moisture around and she is quite wet. So hoping for a warmer day in the coming week so she can dry out and put back under cover.

Or maybe now is the time to put her away for winter..

In front of Tudor House in town - the idea was to get the Merry Christmas sign in clearly, but you can't really stop where you;d need to safely to get a decent picture. Also a shot in front of the house in it's Christmas finery!

Boxing day jaunt - Wokingham Town Hall photo opportunity

After Christmas excess, and frankly typical Christmas Day weather, it was nice to wake up to blue skies and sunshine. Supposed to be nice for a while now - all the way into the New Year. So Amy's been under wraps for too long and I wanted to get a few miles in the sun to shake both of our cobwebs out!

Being Boxing Day, I had hoped it would be quiet to give me an opportunity to get a Wokingham town centre picture done - couldnt normally park up where I did. Just got up and out early-ish to get a few miles clocked up and as hoped, town was dead quiet.

A few interested glances at the same time!

Five minutes of "fame" - Brooklands Website

Just looking ahead to the Brooklands Austin Morris day next year to check what day it is on and looked at the website. And what car do I see on one of the headline images? That was our visit from 2015 😀

Clocking up miles - Work and at Parents

The miles gradually increase with a journey here and there. Went to work again today and visited parents over lunch time then home of course. Overall just another 15 miles or so, nothing much but keeps creeping towards the magic 40,000 on the speedo.

And haven't pictured her outside my parents current house before so just for posterity.

She'll go to bed in the garage a bit later, but just a quick stop today.

Rain forecasted for the first time in a little while, so back under cover for now

Just some miles and the takeaway run!

I wasn't happy just starting Amy and not driving her the other day. It's warmed up now, and still dry so I treated her (myself?!) to a drive. Through town, out into the country a bit then back through town and home.

Nothing spectacular, just a nice little jaunt around 15 miles or so for no reason whatsoever, then in he evening we haven't done the Friday takeaway collection in her for ages, so figured why not?!

Put her to bed actually at Christmas maybe. We'll see, but doing a few functional journeys like the old days is kind of nice.
