What are you all up to

Sorry to hear about MIL Wherenext, hope that she makes a speedy recovery. I know from experience that that phone call gives you a shock, glad that you weren’t too far away.

Good luck with the new car Millie. I have a full licence but have only driven automatics for the last 40 years. Everyone used to laugh at me, many not liking them but now they seem more the norm. I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to drive a manual now.

An old friend came for a bbq on Friday, normally when we say bbq it chucks it down but it was the opposite, so very hot and little shade at the caravan. We decided to go over to the Clubhouse for a drink but they had failed to put any parasols out so not much better, even so we had a good catchup. My cousin and her husband are coming for a bbq this afternoon, the weather looks better for it warm but cloudy.

I have not been driving automatics as long as you but every car in the last 17 years has had an auto box, even when towing. I just wish that my two motorhomes had, had auto boxes. I could be wrong but I think all EV's have auto boxes of sorts. Clearly if someone is more comfortable driving a car with a manual gearbox that is what they should stick with. Having said that I think you are right is saying that manual gearboxes will become a thing of the past in the not too distant future? My current car was a bit of a learning curve. Because its an HEV its often in just electric mode when you stop. I somethings forget to turn off the engine which is done by pressing a button!!!!

Lovely morning here, sunny but fresher feeling. 

OH has the MG out, giving it a wash. Surprising how dusty it gets in the garage, 😂 perhaps we'll take it for a drive later.

Glad you enjoyed your stay at NYM R&R, safe trip home. Hope the warden's haven't put you off revisting next year, these NF sites need all the help they can get.

Enjoy your bbq DEBSC.
