Well I suppose it will teach me a lesson really. The flycatcher/me has cost me a small fortune and a massive inconvenience at a crucial time of the year!
Normally I always drive through the tidal flood just before Coastguards carpark at Cley very, very slowly but I drove through fairly fast on Saturday to get parked and now I am paying the price (understatement). As I said in previous post, the car has lost power and drinking petrol like there's no tomorrow. Garage picked the car up yesterday and today I got their assessment - basically its going to cost a bl**dy fortune. Can't remember what bit is being sent off to a specialist by courier to Portsmouth - even more than the cost, the words "you won't get your car back for at least at week" hurt soooo much more than my bank account being emptied. "A WEEK!!!!!!!!" I screeched. My 2 hour taster yesterday at Holme of this massive migration going on was torture enough - but to be told that I will not be going out this evening after work, OR tomorrow, or Thursday, or Friday or the weekend is not funny in the slightest!!!!!
Any offers of free b+b/sofa/floor on the coast at the weekend will be gratefully received!!!!

wow, this is the first time I have heard the term packed-up to mean a broken down car and gutted to mean ruined. I had to look them up! I thought packed up was close enough to pack-it-in to be the meaning used. My English certainly needs to be broadened. :) Thanks for your blog.
