Ahhh mobile again!

And isn't that music to our ears!

Following a 2.5 hour train trip, we arrive at Wigan to have a look at the car we are interested in. The rain sets in again - I had forgotten what mid-winter can be like in a climate that truly has four seasons (like Sydney and unlike Maryborough!)

So, here she is:

Bought for the princely sum of 1750 pounds. 2001 Vauxhall Vectra with only 58000 miles on the clock. Obviously doesn't hold a candle to Helen's new car!!


An uneventful trip back into Lonon in the rain - and a test of everyone's patience as we try to navigate through totally unknown areas!!!!
Now we are trying to sort out insurance - gosh, will be so glad when we can get on the road finally!
