BH Challenge#36 - DCDCC Challenge-35

Afternoon folks. Sorry I wasn't around yesterday. We had to take our car in for service + MOT and then walk into town to do some shopping while we waited for it and then walk back to the garage afterwards to collect it.

It is going to cost a bit so my money for Ally Pally on Saturday is shrinking. Lol!!!!
