Who wouldn't poo (with fright) all over the garden, yours or anyone's?<br /><br />That car reminds me of a most unfortunate incident. I was about eleven. Someone's parent gave us a lift to school when, middle of the forest, we passed a white Peugeot in the ditch kissing a tree, about five km from where I lived. Gosh, said our driver, that looks terrible. Don't worry, I said, my father crawled back home [middle of the night, middle of nowhere], only a few broken ribs and stuff.<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.com
