THE LAST DITCH

I am just going out. I might be some time.

 Lawrence Oates: I am just going out. I might be some time.

Dreamstime_3950439Judging by the morning television news shows, our drive from London to the North via the snowy Midlands today (once Mrs P has attended her last hospital appointment for this cycle of treatment) is somewhat foolhardy in such "treacherous and hazardous" conditions. Particularly, I suppose, in an Italian sports car with tyres like strips of liquorice!

Let's hope all the other drivers give in to Britain's health and safety hysteria, so that we can have a clear run. Wish us luck.

One response to “I am just going out. I might be some time.”
