It has been a while since i updated my blog so i thought i should
Since 11 Feb (my last blog) a few things have happened.
Annie has been on a few trips. Firstly she has been to Aberfoyle which was beautiful, warm, and a great weekend even with the cycle trips we did, 25 miles for me and Ella managed 20 miles over three days which was excellent. Mairi had come off a night shift and missed half the cycling and when she did she just complained about her sore behind.

Some of the Beautiful scenery at Aberfoyle. Surprise is that this is approx 1hr drive from Glasgow!!
We then headed down to Wales and Annie took the miles without missing a beat. We broke the journey up with a stop at Warrington on the way down and at Preston on the way back up.
We spent 5 nights on the campsite at the Haven resort at Pwllheli in North Wales. The facilities were great and the entertainment at night for what it was (a bit of fun) was great and the kids were in swimming each day at some time.
After our Holiday Annie has been relaxing in the drive until November when she was started up and her battery light did not go out. ooooooooohhhhhh dear. She went for her MOT and passed with flying colours, but with every silver lining there is a cloud. The battery light meant......a new alternator was needed.
A new alternator is ...................................£250 + VAT + fitting. yes i did write £250 + VAT + Fitting.
Like a true wheeler dealer, onto the internet i go and manage to get a replacement Alternator for £46 inc VAT and delivery.. yipee.
So Annie is returning to Glasgow Commercials (in Paisley) to have it fitted for many more miles of travel.
Until the next post (whenever that may be) adios from Annie and me.
