We had a wonderful Christmas Day. Helène and her daughters together. My first Christmas with her family.
On a misty Boxing day afternoon we met up with some of Helène’s friends for a walk round Harrold Country Park. It wasn’t much of a walk because there were 15 adults and 5 children under 5 which slowed the whole thing down.
I needed to get the main mountain of logs covered so they had a chance to season and not rot away before next autumn.
Choosing a tarpaulin isn’t as easy as it might seem. Unfortunately I couldn’t reorder the one I’ve used before because it was out of stock. This one seems quite thin and I’m wondering if it will survive the high winds when the top is rubbing against logs on the top.
A gave the Kia Niro a Christmas present in the form of a wash and vacuum. Many people prefer to go to the car wash however doing it myself gives me a chance to check for scratches and scrapes.
The Niro is approaching its second service with a little over 16,000 miles on the clock. Apart from the issues of charging away from home (complexity and price) it is a very good car. I do have an intermittent problem with the USB port which causes Android Auto to drop out from time to time. I’m hoping this will get sorted at the service but I have my doubts.

Thanks for your comment. There were a couple of unruly dogs in the party as it happens but hardly farmin’ folk.
Our plans for 2025 are still in the development stages… Liverpool/Manchester in the spring and Boston/New York in early summer.
