Trip out to town.

Thats about it today Joe got up early to feed all the animals, I spent the morning on the phone trying to sort out insurance for our new car, then we went to Shrewsbury to buy the parts for our Kia Sedona that we had bought it off ebay for £450 with half the engine in the boot and the other in the front, Jim helped us pull it up the hill and said hed never seen a car with an engine in both ends before...lol  We managed to get trade discount for the head gasket, cam belt and some special stretch bolts, oh and a tiny collet that sprang off into the mud when we stripped down the head. That all came to £240 so we should have a people carrier for under £800 by the time Joe puts it back together. I hope he doesn't find any other problems lurking.. time will tell.

On the way home we filled up a boot full of water bottles, so much that the car was nearly dragging the floor. At least we dont have water rates to pay. Glad to be home the more I spend time away from our little home the more I miss it. Much better up here in our own little world.

All nine of the Bengal cats were very happy to see us they are so much fun.

Mom still enjoying Egypt, and Adrian our neighbour is hopefully home tomorrow which should bring an end to our donkey baby sitting, one of them is heavily pregnant. So far she still in one piece.

Tomorrows job will be planting trees shrubs and fruit bushes, will let you know how it goes...
