I'm sorry for the long, unexpected silence- Mr E and I are having car issues at the moment, having killed our own and then, most unfortunately, somehow passing on that misfortune to my Sister in Law when she came to our rescue! I'm so grateful to my brave colleague who, with no concern for his own car, has kindly been giving me lifts to and from work. Never have I been so aware of how much we use our car until it became unusable- I don't think I'd realised before how much of the planning in a day is so easily dealt with by having a car to hop into at any given moment!
