Pontypool & Abertillery …. Day 2
One of our calls today was in Abertillery where it was lovely to see Steve again for work on his very low mileage ‘05 TF 135 (in paint code CEV).
This visit was for minor service, pre-MOT check, clear out of the washer pump and hoses as they were all gunked up, and needed a little extra cleaning other than with a pin! Two new key fob cases fitted as his Pektron ones had crumbled slightly around the buttons.
It was good to have a catch-up with him and his wife and have a look at their amazing garden, what an unearthed and hidden gem they have.
Unfortunately, the other call of the day didn’t happen. Car booked in for head gasket and cambelt service, but no one was at home, when we rang the number got an international dialing tone. A shame, but these things do happen. Ce La Vie.
But! It did mean that we were able to pay a surprise visit to our fab fiends Jan and Andy, in Pontypool, a little earlier than expected, whom we have not seen face-to-face for almost 2 years! It’s just crazy that it’s been that long, and definitely far too long. What with great weather meant we could sit for a couple of hours in their garden and have a brew or two. So lovely to be able do that.
We’re now in our new digs, for the next few nights, in St Mellons, where we’ve stayed before.
Also making the most of the change in the weather and our location I got up at the crack of dawn to have another decent walk through the beautiful space that is the Forest of Dean.
Not too far a commute in the morning to Caerphilly… – https://ift.tt/lrtYGpP
