From Countesthorpe to Royston.

Hello folks!
Left home at 10.45 on our journey full of trepidation. The landrover makes different noises with the new engine so, for the first hour, we were familiarising ourselves with the breathing and wheezing of the beast.
Everything went smoothly  (probably an oxymoron in a Landy) through Kibworth, Market Harborough, Kettering to St Neots, where we stopped to draw breath. The Landy dribbled onto the car park, having marked out his new territory. We continued onto Royston (not Vasey) where on a 'c' road we lost all forward motion. Terrified looks at each other ensued. Fortunately I'd inadvertantly knocked the gear lever with the overdrive lever which put the gearbox into neutral. Carried on, with much higher blood pressure.


Arrived at Royston, stayed at the Banyer's hotel in the wedding suite, and went onto an Italian restaurant for dinner.Ciao
