I know it's not the mb6. But sorting all the niggles on the aerodeck. Rear door was stuck shut. I'll tell you something trying to remove a door card with the door shut is a ballache. And trying to open a latch thats snapped internally in a space 2 inch square is even more of a ballache. But it's open. Ordered a replacement along with a bunch of other little bits and bobs it needs. Be a nice motor!

Found the old guntree photos of Mindy from the ad!

There we go, gives you an idea. House looks small in the photo but is huge inside......one maaassive living room and a corridor so long we keep losing each other in the house! Been using the civic5 walkie talkies for when I'm away over in the garage working! lol Garden looks a lot different to those photos now as we've been busy pulling out weeds and I've started power washing the tar parking bit to get all the old moss off it (its covered in it, or at least it was!)

It is mate! the view from our living room front window is across the village and into the hills. Have to pinch myself every time I look out the window! DD has been loving the roads down here too, so good to get her out and about now. her parking space is litterally right outside our bedroom window at the back of the house. We have a massive loing drive that comes in off a lane at the side of the house, and goes all around to the back where we have a nice big tarred bit to park on. Really can believe the land we have here. Will need to post a few pics!

Much has been happening! Coming to terms with losing mum, still got a lot of legal stuff to do and help my sister with sorting her estate. Not easy with half the family not on speaking terms and no idea where they live now. Now for some better news.......we have finally moved to our new (old) house in the scottish borders......and loving it! So quiet, peaceful and chilled out down here it really is amazing. House needs a shed load of work done ( got sparky rewiring whole house next weekend) then new windows to get ordered and fitted after that along with decorating. It's slowly coming together though, Gayle and me have been so busy since we got here getting the garden sorted, doing stuff to the inside (ive been fitting stuff, putting up shelfs, swapping out some of the light fittings and switches etc. Not got the planning in for the new double garage yet, but if we run out of time we've hatched a plan to get the single garage we have here emptied enough to get Mindy in there for the winter (she's currently slumming it in the leaky car port joined onto the garage at the moment!). Had family down this weekend (all outside and following the rules) and they have fallen in love with our new house, saying they cant believe how big it is and the amount of land it has. They all love the village too, which is one of the prettiest in the borders. have to say, thought I would struggle leaving our old town (even with all the agro we had there recently) as I'd been in that house for 27 yrs. I have to admit, I don't miss it a bit! people and neighbours here are totally amazing, and so helpful too. We seem to have fitted right in no probs! So, thought we'd take Mindy for a wee adventure on some undiscovered (by us!) roads around the village and surrounding countryside.Be rude not to post a few photos! Mindy is a bit dirty as not had a wash since we left our old town......only just got the outside tap fitted a few days ago so now we're good to go. This is the back road into our village (basically 2 min drive from our house), can just see the village in the distance And wee Mindy! Loving her new life in the Scottish Borders. We wanted to see where the road went, so drove for around 7 miles and the hills/scenery is breath taking. Eventually the road brings you onto the back road into Galashiels at Tweedbank side. Can't believe we have this as our back garden/playground!
