Oooooops!

This is what happens when you forget to put the handbrake on!!!

I had arrived home and soon after I heard a bang.  I went out and found the car had gone over the terrace.  It would have gone over the next one as well if a kindly olive tree had not been in its path.  I called Michael out and he was literally speechless!

Fortunately Generator John had been here for the day servicing our equipment, had gone to get some welding done and was due back shortly.  When he arrived he was speechless as well but set about using his van to tow the car back up to the level but the van started slipping down as well so we had to stop.   We phoned Peter who arrived with his 4x4 and a strong rope and soon the car was safely back on the drive.   It goes alright but it is not in one piece and needs considerable repairs.

We had been thinking about replacing it anyway and this seemed to be the moment to put that into practice so we have bought a Ford Focus.  When the car is repaired Peter is going to buy it from us to replace his runabout.
