We heard from David and Kenny and Ellie has a bit of inflammation around her wound from where she was spayed and they have taken her back to the Professor who has given her 2 injections. We know she is in very safe hands with them and they will take very good care of her. Apart from that they say she is fine, having fun with Jekka and Loppi.
We had breakfast with Marion and then sat chatting until we decided it was time to go in search of a new suitcase for me. We were going to McArthur Glen in Ashford. Well, that was our intention. Around Maidstone, I was doing 70mph in the outside lane when my window exploded! it was the one next to me in the door, glass everywhere. I pulled over on to the hard shoulder and then we decided it would be far safer going on to the service station. We phoned the car hire company who told us to get in touch with Autoglass. They told us we would have a 6 hour wait for them to attend. Or we could drive the car to Rochester and they would try and fit us in earlier. We hire so many cars that we have an annual excess insurance cover, which only costs us about £40 a year, far cheaper than the excess the hire car companies who want about £9 per day!
So, we drove to Rochester. We came out of Autoglass at 4.30pm!! They were nice people in there and even made us a cup of coffee. £246, which we paid and then we claim it back from Insurance 4 Car Hire. We then went on to McArthur Glen and couldn’t find a suitable case. By the time we arrived home, we couldn’t be bothered to cook so went to Archie’s Fish and Chips in Minster and ate our dinner there. We have to have fish and chips once while we are back. Archie’s is owned by a Turkish family.
It was a long day!
