Clubman recall

I received a recall today for my 2016 Clubman, something to do with side airbags!

I guess I’ll be calling Orlando MINI soon!

Safari plans

Living near to Walt Disney World we can visit Animal Kingdom and ride their Kilimanjaro Safari ride when we wish – but of course it’s not like a real Africa Safari. Margaret has always wanted to go to Africa and do a real safari, and we’ve now made plans to do exactly that, later this year!

We also posed in our safari hats, and met Mickey & Minnie in their “matching” hats:
