Another in the series of cold and frosty mornings but I was out early enough to exercise Sam and still be able to join the girls at the bus stop to wave them off.

It had passed the MOT but they tried to overcharge her some £7 on a £100 bill until I pointed out their error. It seems that you cannot trust anybody and that everybody is lookin
