    Would have loved to come along to the Ice cream run today, but a few weeks ago I'm afraid our Mini was in a bit of a smash. I've kept it off social media as I don't really want the world to know. Lesley went into the back of a van with a rather large tow bar, smashed up the front of the car rather badly. Still without him, hopefully get him back in a week or two. Lesley was a bit bruised across the chest area and sore, just only now feeling pain free.
    On the bright side, at least the car will be stone chip free when we get it back.

    Not so good Jason. The main thing is that Lesley is now ok and has walked away ok and the car can be fixed.

    Sorry to hear this Jason but as long as there are no long term injuries that's all that matters at the end of the day.

    As everyone has said Jason, cars (even Minis!) can be repaired or replaced, our loved ones are more important. Bad news about the car, but - despite the bruises, good news about Lesley. Hope she has a rapid recovery.
