Hope they're going to gift wrap it for you.  :)
Can just imagine the faint smell of petrol in the house when you come downstairs on Christmas morning & the big mystery parcel under the tree with a big puddle of oil under it!

Saturday evening about 6 daughter Lucy and Simon set off to drive up to Sheffield - they chose to drive overnight in these conditions!  I had to remind Lucy that although they are used to driving in snow and ice, that's in France where they understand how to deal with the stuff.

Still, if they got stuck, they were in a campervan so could park up, put the heating on, brew up a cuppa hot chocolate, and go to bed!

As it was, they got there with no problems.



Did you get back ok Dizzy?
