A new addition to the family!

The school holidays rumble on, and we're on week three, so three more weeks after this one. Not that I'm counting, of course! In the afternoon, we had a fire alarm and everyone, including those who were swimming, had to evacuate the building! I felt so sorry for the swimmers wrapped in towels! Luckily, we weren't outside for long, but this tends to happen every school holiday!

Keith picked me up at 4pm and we drove to the VW dealership on Riverside. Sophie arrived five minutes after us and we went into the showroom to complete the paperwork. It was all done within half an hour and we went over to where Sophie's new car was charging. The salesman explained the charging process and showed us the two cables in the boot. Until we get the outside charger fitted, we can connect one of the cables to a normal plug socket, but it does take a while to charge this way, and it's not recommended.

He then showed Sophie the controls and that was it! I went with her while Keith drove the Golf home. I was impressed with her driving on the way home, as it was rush hour and she was in a new car. It was lovely, though, and the ride was smooth and comfortable.

Back home, Sophie gingerly manoeuvred the car onto the driveway and we waited for Keith, who had become stuck in the car park. He had the house keys so we had to loiter about until he returned! I think Sophie will have to have a good read of the manual to find out how everything works!
