Texas Rain

Of course, they say that everything’s bigger in Texas. I’m not sure that I noticed much difference in the size of things. I was still as short as ever…

But it did rain fairly monstrously one day I was there, as these two videos show. There were tornadoes just a few miles away too.

Joey

We’ve a new addition to our family. It’s been a while since he joined us but we’ve been busy on the blog trying to get back from our trip to PNG.

Now that we’re back and settled here:

at 77 Field View, Bar Hill, Cambs, CB23 8SY, UK

we’re ready to start telling you what we’ve been up to since we came back from PNG.

Well, the first thing we did, almost literally, was to pick up little Joey. Here he is:

He’s a 1988 Vauxhall Nova. Yes, that’s right, he’s 21 years old.  If you look closely, you can see why we call him Joey. Doesn’t look bad does he. He’s only got 82,000 miles on the clock and a few little bits of rust here and there. But for £300 ($500), you can’t really go wrong. So far, he’s got us to Dorset and back for our anniversary which is a 400 mile round trip. He’s even got a stereo, if  you sing. We sang every Beatles song we knew on the way back.

And watch this space (or at least the one above it) for more about the trip to Dorset…
