I’ve just changed the motor, I’ve left behind the German pointer and gone for a British Big Cat. So far I’m delighted, more on that another day

Add in to the mix that Daisy is just about to pass her driving test and is angling after her first wheels, the household chat has been somewhat motor vehicle dominated. Daisy likes the idea of a small Italian number (500) so we’re on the look out. All of which brought back to mind my glorious Alfisti days and of course someone once said…
