So, I was back out on the terrace this evening, nursing my Gin and Fever Tree Spanish Clementine tonic (one of my five a day) thinking about this and that.
Statistically, a white Easter is more likely than a white Christmas around most of the UK and here am I enjoying the mid-20s. Easter is late this year but in 2018 it was 1st April.
Tomorrow, 4th April is seven years since I and a contingent of Forum members attended @Druk’s funeral at Livingston. Passed members - @ringway and @brucemillar, lapsed - @flango – present members - @LTD, @D-18 come to mind amongst others.
Central Scotland was hit by an atrocious snow storm and those present skated about in a foot of snow. Later, my return journey over Soutra was probably my worst drive in over 60 years of motoring.
Derek was great company and we all saw each other regularly at the frequent Scottish MB Meets. Always the prankster, he caught me out at the Dirleton Meet, when on some pretext, he got me to examine the panel gaps around the n/s a-pillar of his E-Class. He had rigged up an additional washer jet which could catch a nosey traffic warden in the eye if examining the tax disc!
Of course, his great claim to fame was his immaculate turbo-diesel W107 complete with SAAB seats and wood door-cappings.
Some Guy...
