Feeling old. Going through boxes of old papers and found this receipt from 1999. 2 tyres supplied & fitted to my first car (Sierra) for £45.90.

Maybe their cheapness explains why I wrote it off in a crash a little later, not my fault after all?

If you don’t know about Sophie Lancaster Foundation I really encourage you to find out more

Reading a report on violence towards subcultures. Always remember Sophie Lancaster - support the charity in her memory if you can and if not support it by kindness and empathy

Sadly a past instigator of drama. Lilly gave us almost fifteen years of Weimaraner wisdom, affection and sneaky biscuit/meat theft.

We all still miss her, because she gave so much.
