    SII nicked Saffron Walden

    Just to add about the idea of leaving a 40k motor without an audible alarm, a pedal lock, a tracker, a steering ,lock, an immobiliser........or maybe they were all fitted but these were really clever and more than cunning stunning thieves........

    Planned? Almost a sort of rendezvous would you say? Who could possibly have known it was going to be there? and Why? Bloody clever thieves.......

    SII nicked Saffron Walden

    A one night visit, tightly locked shed - a description for the insurance co? - almost impossible to sell unless you were someone with connections in the trade, I assume the shed had been empty until the Landy arrived a few hours earlier; SO, a coincidence that a few hours later someone came...

    Attempted Theft

    If you can, check CCTV for previous days. It is unlikely this was their first visit. Do you have cameras at home? If so check footage there

    Christmas

    Hope you well Pete: she loves the sixties and seventies TV currently fashionable, the comedies etc. Totally relaxes and laughs, the TV progs seem to have a calming effect. Also the music.

    Christmas

    I think it is wonderful that you guys are so aware and sympathetic to this awful illness. Two years ago next month, my wife woke in the morning and ran into a bedroom corner screaming: she had just discovered she was in bed with a strange man - me! We had been married then for forty six years...

    Christmas

    Difficult from time to time Alan. I have never known such a cruel illness. Terribly sad and degrading, there's still just the two of us, I don't want to involve anyone else at this stage, that will come eventually. The worst is that she knows she is never going to get better but tries very hard...

    Ferry discounts

    Have you tried the Portsmouth-Caen route? I guess it depends which way you are heading when you disembark. It used to take us just under four hours from Caen to get into central Brittany (Pontivy area) where we lived, Roscoff less than two hours and St Malo and 1h 45m. Have a good trip, I'll...
