A momentous weekend, this. After a much longer than usual over-wintering, I finally found a little bit of time to give the car its annual Springtime spanner check and general pampering.

Most importantly, we were able to establish that my 10-year-old daughter feels comfortable and secure enough to enjoy it! Some TMers may recall from another thread that she was badly injured when she was knocked off her bicycle by a school bus late last year. She's making great progress learning to deal with paraplegia, and we are all happy that she can be manoeuvred in and out of the front passenger seat without too much contortionism; what's more, her wheelchair seems equally happy to be strapped to the luggage rack. That leaves room for her brothers in the back seat, and older boy even seems quite sanguine about being relegated to the aft cabin if it means his sister can come too. All of which means we can give SWMBO (not a car enthusiast) some peace and quiet at home as we can all bugger off for days out through the summer.
