M went to work by train while I borrowed the car for the drive to Exeter Airport. I had heard tell that sometimes they use a 4 seater instead of a two seater enabling the devoted parent to cadge a ride, but unfortunately not this time so I left him to it and went for a drive in the countryOoh Look! There's my house!
He seemed to have fun
In the meantime, I broke the car.
Went back to the airport stuck in first gear (which made for an awkward situation with a tractor driver when I couldnt reverse out of his way) and called the tow truck, which arrived before the flight landed which was unfortunate because we would have to wave the truck away and catch the bus home. Luckily J walked around the corner just as the truck was about to leave, so he got a lift in the back of a chauffeur driven limo as well. I think he was pleased with his pressie.

Are all cars you drive allergic to you?
A great read!
'I broke the car' made me laugh :-)
The picture from the plane looks scary to a reformed agoraphobic like me but what a memorable present!
The psychologists say perception is everything.
Looked at that way, your car being stuck in first gear is an opportunity to better enjoy the countryside :-)
Unfortunately, the rest of the world seems impassioned to get to places before they've left where they've just been.
Which probably means they wouldn't see it from the psychologist's point of view.
These days, remonstrations of the traffic variety seem to have the potential of being on the end of an AK47.
A car screeched to a stop after passing me at great speed in a rural small town 30 zone and demanded menacingly who I was looking at! I made some comment that mollified him but we seem to live in a changed and more violent world.
Bye for now :-)
Whoa, that's way cool!!!
I think I would be too nervous to go up in a Cesena, but boy would it rock :]
May you should not have given the plane a tow to get it off the ground? Or is that just gliders??
Scaaaared of heights!!!
You don't have luck with cars really.
Awww wow! if i wasn't so scared of heights and flying i might give that a go! :)
