Screeeeeeeching to a halt

With the extreme cold we have been experiencing this Winter, the time has come for change. The cold has accelerated certain health conditions, that aren’t the L word, or either of the M words. Love, marriage or menopause. I hereby declare the A word, a thing! 😂 Arthritis that is. 

 Steamin Along has become the catalyst for a change in vehicle, because she is a manual drive, with a clutch that requires depressing, & that has become painful, faster than I was expecting.

These two factors make it necessary to sell her, & but an automatic vehicle...sob 😢 

The owner at Ovaland is intimately acquainted with her, & told me her worth & value the other day, while her fridges digestive issues were being investigated.  One was gobsmacked, & rather thrilled. 

Selling her is not the issue, but her value has increased in my estimation, after her performance during the Coromandel excursions. I didn’t realise what ahem she is, with her powerful motor to haul herself up the steep inclines, with ease. In third gear might I add. 😉

A new thing for me

So a decision has been made to get her ship shape, & settle in the Waikato area, fora time at least. At this stage, lodgings have not been found, that will enable this to become reality, so the hounds have been sent out, in the pursuit of suitable accommodation.

This can be revisited, perhaps

Not an easy decision to come to, but health Must come first. One is hoping to find a room somewhere, where people aren’t demanding that a person be working full time 🙃
