Expensive Times in the Credit Crunch

Anna’s car has decided to die on us… Perfect timing as this has already been an expensive few weeks! First we’re having some work done on the house which will cost quite a bit, we’ve bought some new household appliances too I lost around £750 worth of windsurfing kit at sea and we booked a snow-boarding holiday for the New year, Christmas is coming, my car needed a new battery and its MOT and tax is due and now Anna needs a new car!

Oh well, no choice but to head off an buy her one, so yesterday we drove around to Dyfi Yard Repairs on the other side of the River Dyfi to see if they had anything suitable. It didn’t take too long and after a quick test drive of a dinky little red Nissan Micra. It seemed fine for our needs, economical, small but perfectly formed, so that was that, we put a deposit on it and will hopefully collect it later this week.

We then headed into Aberdovey for some lunch and a little walk so that Morgan could take some photos as he is quite into photography at the moment. I’ll probably post some of his photos later, but for now here are a couple I took.
