I'm based in Salisbury and Dave is based in Bergen in Germany.

My wife doesn't want 3 cars sitting in the driveway hence she has sent me off to Timbuktu. So to make my wife happy I signed on and brought Dave -who retired this year- along as chief communicator, as I have found out through some situations as a Teacher of Autistic children, I can get quite stressy, quite easily.

I seem to have got a speeding ticket in every country I have visited, but since the car is so old I don't think its quite up to speed-limit breaking speeds.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all, however my sister who has recently come back from Rwanda is using the Rally car so I am bringing another car to the meeting. Hopefully my wife will be ecstatic with only one car in the drive.
