I was fetched out of the bath this morning by a knock on the door. Little old lady said she had got into a bit of a pickle turning around and could she leave the car there for a bit?
She had decided rather than turn around as everyone else does in our gateway at the top of the lane that she would use the new quagmire next to the house instead. Unfortunately the strip down the lane that her back wheels are on is sheet ice!
To be fair an hour later she was back and had put some grit down and got herself out of said pickle without any assistance from anyone and without having to move Sue's car. Shame I was looking forward to coming to the rescue in the Winter Tyred Diesel Panda with a rope to haul her back end around.
She was American and therefore used to proper snow and ice. She has now decided to get some Winter Tyres like she used to have over there!
