However, I managed to find a quiet spot to flip up Trinnie away from prying eyes. We like to be alone together. <br /><br />Could it have been the model of Mister Whippy above the windscreen that attracted the inquiries? <br />:-)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-23634093991639300232014-03-16T20:54:57.163+00:002014-03-16T20:54:57.163+00:00I want one of those lego sets!!I want one of those lego sets!!Stephhttp://endurance-adventures.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-10992980672397154792014-03-16T14:42:23.976+00:002014-03-16T14:42:23.976+00:00Pleased to hear the "training" is going ...Pleased to hear the "training" is going well. <br /><br />I have only been to Windsor Great Park once - as a child, in about 1970, we went as a family in our newly acquired Dormobile motor caravan. Obviously, the proximity to royalty is firmly etched in my brain, but the most memorable incident came when, after watching us slightly nervously for a few minutes, a couple reluctantly came up to the van and asked if we sold ice creams ....Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576395337502021082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-36500007126641457882014-03-15T20:29:04.592+00:002014-03-15T20:29:04.592+00:00I went for another walk today, Miss!

This means that I just might lose the belly by the time I get to the East Coast.<br />Fair enough!<br />:-)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-36364250248129267322014-03-15T08:49:24.320+00:002014-03-15T08:49:24.320+00:00When Bonnington considered taking Don Whillans to ...When Bonnington considered taking Don Whillans to Everest B was concerned about D's overweight and unfitness, but made the offer. B said that Don walked it all off during the march out to base-camp and D's contribution to the expedition was invaluable. So, I reckon you'll have it sorted in the first couple of days - no need to go through the purgatory of carrying housing bricks round in a rucksack in dreary urban environments for weeks before the event.<br /><br />Good luck.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.com
