Oh dear

It’s a shame.

The Silver Vixen’s brother carried on with the work throughout the day. One by one they all they dropped off the list until it was all done. He had done a superb job and we had moved on a great deal during the week.

The Gorse Fox settled up and off he went. A few minutes later the phone rang. GF answered but it was all silent.

A few minutes later it rang again, but again all was silent at the far end.

Finally it rang and a voice said “It’s me. I’ve broken down on the roundabout”. GF headed off to help… but it was soon clear that it was something significant (sheared drive shaft was GF’s diagnosis) and a call was placed to AA. It would be a while.

The man in yellow turned up and took a look. He diagnosed the problem as a sheared drive shaft, and said he would need to call the AA Relay to get the car and occupant home to Camden. It would, however, be 90 minutes at least before he turned up.

Leaving the car we headed home where GF prepared supper before headed back to the roundabout to await the pickup. Finally, the man turned up, the car was recovered and GF headed home. GF felt sorry for his brother-in-law who given up so much of his time and was rewarded with a major mechanical failure on his way home.
