Morning folks

Very conscious that I've not been around recently - sorry.

The TF is still going strong :drive: and still giving lots of smiles to the gallon. We are heading down to the North Yorkshire this weekend so if you see us give us a wave.

I love driving the North Yorks Dales, an aunt used to have a place up there where I've stayed many times.

Had a great weekend.

Stopped over in Gretna and then to Barnard Castle via Haltwhistle, Alston and Middleton in Teeesdale.
Only saw two other F's/TF's but we exchanged waves :clap:

When the kids were younger we used to stay with family in Kendal, a regular day trip from there would be a run up to Gretna to buy a Scottish doughnut, we would also pop into Carlisle to the Eddie shop.
