As an escape from socks 'n' feet:



As with our XR2 before it, when this was taken in for its first Spanish MOT, the guy in charge of issuing or not issuing certificates insisted in arguing that the spots were not 'de serie' - standard - and should be removed before the car could pass! I told him they all came like that... in the end, he failed me for their angle. I went straight back to the local Ford dealership where it was bought, they tested them, said they were perfect. I returned to the test centre and they passed it right away. Go figure.

Kept it for about 8 years, did many Mallorca/Scotland trips with it; the sliding panel roof rusted, had it replaced on Ford, and then when we traded it in, it continued to live in the local village until it was 14, at which time it vanished for ever. The new owners never even washed it - I'd swear - and I used to pat it, wish it well and apologise every time we saw it parked somewhere. Funny how you can feel emotionally attached to things that have been part of your good times. I liked Pirelli P6s.

Funny thing: the horse shares the field with three more of them; they all vanish whenever they see a camera, but this one came up and let me rub its nose. (Well, not its nostrils of course - why would I want to do that? - but the long part between ears and nostrils.) I haven't done that before - always kept my distance. They bite, you know. My wife used to feed similar creatures at every opportunity and they never bit her. She had a dog before we were married. It bit me, as did my mother's, and also a stray here in Spain. I only liked my own dogs. We understood each other perfectly. We never bit one another.

We live across the road from a small horse farm. When it snows I get to watch, from my studio, the horses rolling around in in their snow bath. Great stuff all year round...

We have alpacas living across the road from us. They look cuddly enough. Don't know if they bite, but I've heard they spit. Which is worse?

You can wash off spit, as everyone who followed punk knew. They just didn't want to go near the water - too 'establishment', not 'radical' or enough 'of the people' to be nice, and tribally acceptable.

Thanks. I was trying toget a bit more sense of depth than the original processing. I'm certainly happier with this one.

I think I'd like to hire that little guy to clean my oven. It looks like he does a good job of it.  ;)
