Good weekend, 21-24.2.2025.

 Been  good weekend, for a change in my luck this month.

Friday got a new car, (New to me that is) it's a 71 Reg!.

The old car was 10 years old and the satnav was broke and was draining the battery so it was off to the electrical guy in Stockport who halved the drain on the battery but couldn't solve the problem as KIA have their own computer system. Whilst there they did a service and M O T and three tyres were border line, so I decided it was time for a change and got this Ford Ecosport, never had a Ford or a Blue car before!.

Desert Island Blue!.

Quite nice to drive and quite nippy, even though it's only a 1Ltr and three cylinders!.

Got some jazzy car mats from Amazon that match the colour very nicely. The rear door hinges sideways instead of up and down, so that solves the problem of me keep walking into it!.

Not driven it much yet, but will get used to it eventually, but first impressions are good!.

Saturday

We went to The Bridge View Café as it was the yearly visit of the Steam punk people and it was a packed house again, but Claire & Brian reserved our usual table so it wasn't a problem, it was the queuing up to order that was the problem, still the food is always worth the wait.

Here are a few of the pictures I took on the day, some wit ]h my phone and some with my Nikon A1000!.















There was even a few stalls that sold some of the items they seem to like to wear.

          So it was all good clean fun on the day and enjoyed by all.
Sunday stayed in and did some house work and fitted the rear car mats which fitted perfectly!.

Monday it was off to Morrisons with my mate Chris the singer, did my shopping whilst waiting for him to arrive, then we had our usual fish & chips, very nice there!.

Off to Pear Mill tomorrow!, where Chris will be singing.
