March 2001 @ the Pig Yard...
March arrived with no plans for the next holiday and a single event on the near
horizon which was scheduled for April but happily came early. The Pigyard had a
new arrival which was in fact a late Christmas present.

TT has always been one of Steve's great desires and as you may have noticed
previously on the cars page there has been a TT on his wish list. Well this
month the dream came true. The colour chosen back in January is Nimbus Grey
and he had some severe doubts about it but it has turned out really well. |

From
this photo you may not be able to see the size of Steve's grin but if it got
any wider his face would fall in half. |

at Filey was the only place left to walk when we visited our college friends
Jon and Susie during the month because the Yorkshire moors and Dales were
closed due to the foot and mouth outbreak. The weather was kind and although
it was a cold wind we had plenty of sunshine. |

The Brig
at Filey was a new experience for us. Susie and Jon count this as one o
their favourite places. The truth is that Susie loves it because it reminds
her of childhood visits and Jon is not overly keen.
We were well
wrapped up against the elements.

| Even the
natives were friendly and this Guillemot was happy preening his feathers at
the edge of the sea. He allowed us to get very close, safe in the knowledge
that it was too wet and slippery to get any nearer. |

Jon
found his namesake fish & chip shop. Susie had to stand behind a big fish to
hide her embarrassment. |
| On the
final day of the month we said goodbye to the Lupo. It was eventually bought
by someone in Cornwall who was prepared to travel all day to snap up a
bargain. |
