Happy Easter.... Give me a wave if you see me

63 Replies

The sun is shining is a beautiful day so after having scoffed my Easter egg on Friday and my family have refused to share theirs , what better time to have a little Easter holiday and to the annoyance of all those motorists who HATE being stuck behind a car towing a caravan I have gone one better...

So for any of you who live in a pretty little village or right by the sea...

If you go out in your car today you might well be stuck behind ME :D

scootering in style

A ramraid with your scooter? I have heard of it being done!

in reply to Angeldancea812

More sneakily than that I scaled the building in an unmanned cherry picker , found some heavy duty cutters and a blow torch left lying on the roof then with a length of rope which I just happened to have in my caravan I phoned my OH to lower me into the supermarket mission impossible style and took the tomatoes and lettuce with my gloved hands and left payment in the pineapples..

Oh you are good but I'm surprised you didn't take any alcopops

in reply to Angeldancea812

Unfortunately I don't drink and if I don't .. Then it would make Sandra and foggy feel guilty if they had any :D

It's very simple, like me.....where it says A35 that's the start and when it doesn't any more, that's the end.......simples.....

in reply to Fibrofoggiest

Oh my what if I fall off the end......where will I go ...where will I end up... Slows down to 4 miles an hour so as not to fall off the end..... Strange I can hear loads of cars hooting...must be some procession going on :)

Fibrofoggiest in reply to

Fear not, if you fall off the end of the A35 you find yourself on the A30 and if you then fall of that you're in real stick...you'll be off at Lands End !!! Methinks it may take you all week though, but I'll scoop you up , panic not,,,,,

Just a though, I could sit Poppie on the back as you pass, and you'll be really looking like Wallace and Gromit, hey up lass............goes off to prepare Poppie with goggles etc.......

I am travelling a little slower after having a picnic by the road with Sandra she fell asleep so some passers by threw her in the caravan and the extra weight is slowing me down .. Hoping to be with you by tea time ... Get the scones and jam and cream ready

Fibrofoggiest in reply to

Thinks to herself that VG is clearly not looking where she is going or where she has been as she has passed our village Pub The Tuckers Arms (and they're big arms too) straight opposite the turning to my cottage.............. Eyes open VG !!!!

We have to be on the move soon to be a Moffys in time for supper.... ...

Fibrofoggiest

Fibrofoggiest

Sandra, Sandra, stick you leg yet of the other window and do what I'm doing.......panicking and trying to use my foot trike a brake, but I fear tis not working...........this feels like a monumental disaster in the making

Fibrofoggiest

Appears from the flower bed looking even more disheveled than normal , with pansys and violas, plus the clearly organic earth in which they were going........Moffy when did you put manure on your flower bed??? Methinks Sandra will not be a happy bunny ........... and Moffy won't be best pleased either ............

hamble99b in reply to hamble99b

Pulls up gracefully on her scooter and surveys the wreckage .... Tut tut . Why didnt you just pull the emergency brake .... Its that handle there marked do not touch.....Nice hat moffy.... Red suits you.. But you know what they say about red hat.... No ..I can't say it the thought is too much... Heads into Moffys for some Indian supper

Fibrofoggiest

Now you tell us ? Heads off to hide in the hedge so Moffy doesn't see me, the cous cous and Curry incident.......well I am sworn to secrecy, if I told you I would have to kill myself...........or something like that, never been quite sure........,...

How about you tell us and we will kill the hedge..... ;)

Fibrofoggiest

Easier said than done, it's a pyracantha with socking great prickles on and the hedge will kill you, in the event that I don't have to
