A perfect vision of Hell of Earth!
When you are running from this, you need something reliable and powerful under the bonnet.
So, if anyone really wants to give me a present for Christmas, you now know what I would like.
On my "formenseyesonly" blog I tell the harrowing story of our escape from a hellish death by fire, by only three minutes. I invite you, dear reader, to take a peek, if you ever wondered what that might be like.
One thing that does present a difficult decision, if you ever had to make it, in an emergency such as we have endured, would be which car or motorcycle to leave to the flames. In our case, with only minutes to spare we had three drivers for three cars, but our two motorcycles had to stay. One was burnt to a crisp, but fortunately it was the correct one, a scooter made in China that has given us so many problems that I only used it for very short journeys at slow speed. That was a fitting end to that problem, but our Honda 125, Verdadero, a lovely and sprightly bike, came through with flying colours.
There were some wonderful stories of pets that survived without the help of their masters. Our cat was no where to be seen when we left. When we came back, she was the first thing we saw. She was making a hell of a racket, as though to say, where you been? I'm hungry! She used to be snow white, but these days she is a lovely grey.
I hope we have got to the bottom of my technical problems so that I can go back to my weekly blogs. I do apologize for being absent, and look forward in making my usual Sunday contributions.
