Wibble

Just got home to find mine has also arrived and it is ace! Thanks so much @CaptainBoom and for the sweeties. The small declaration in blue, top right of cover page made me chuckle too!

Just catching up with your thread mate, after a few distractions and hope you get it through the test without too much bother.

I would bloody love this. No cash or space though, but just like Dad’s except colour and wheel trims🙁

That emu image is exactly what I think of when I see our Iveco Daily every morning.

I think I drove every configuration of Mk2 Sierra back in the day, except the diesel. Now feeling a big Sierra hole in my life. Very jealous, well done!

Her knees look a bit sore🤔

But a darn sight cheaper!

Brilliant. I also have a huge soft spot for Sierras, having driven loads of every spec when they were current. They always felt right for me. Had a Mk1 Mondeo company car back in the day and later, a brand new Mk3 Mondeo Zetec, which was peak Mondeo for me. Looking forward to seeing more, welcome aboard.

Wall one for me please.

Very sorry for you loss.

Well, we’re home now. Everything went well but has been a really draining few days and I’m absolutely knackered. Father Andrew did us proud and I had a number of people speak to me afterwards to say they had been to many funerals but that was incredible. They all felt calm and peaceful and thought it was beautiful and had never experienced anything like it. I think Mum would have approved. Was extremely hard of course, especially my sisters tearful faces of despair, asking me how has it come to this? Wiblet senior performed his pallbearer and chord bearer duties flawlessly with his two uncles and three cousins and held it together until we were back at the hotel that night. I’m very proud of him. Back to work tomorrow.

A bit before his time I think🙂

Ah, the seventies, great in many ways but not kids fashion, or anyone’s come to think of it.

Going through old photos to put together a slide show for the wake on Friday and found this, must be around 1973/4: Me and Mum

Cheers Ryan, that’s very kind of you mate.

We’re safely installed at the Premier Inn, Linwood. Not a terrible journey to be honest. No traffic hold ups and only a little rain. Took about 7.5 hours in the end.

Well , the Superb is full to the brim and we’re ready for the off in the morning. As always, give us a wave if you spot us, silver Superb estate, PF15VXK. Shoes are polished, suits fresh, shirts ironed. Absolutely dreading the next few days. Thanks for everyone’s support.

God bless Mum

This was hard for me to read, makes it all too real: Dreading the drive up on Wednesday.

Thanks, she’s just got home. Another new condition diagnosed, not serious thankfully but very painful. Fucks sake, she never gets a break.

So sorry for you troubles too. Thanks for thoughts though, very good of you.

Thanks man. It’s difficult and now Mrs W is in A&E as I type this.

Thank you. I do agree, I was pushed in directions I didn’t want to go before finding a job I (mostly!) love.
