The local moss nature reserve is full of blooming heather at the moment, so wanted to blip it before it goes over.   It was all downhill after that when my car broke down.  Apparently the alternator has gone.... the car isn't even four years old.  Its now in a garage in Longtown and still not fixed.  So have a car on loan.  Fingers crossed for tomorrow.  It will definitely spur me on to look for another car as that's the third time I've had major issues with it.
