This morning Jane and I drove to Cupar to pick up Van #1, which was fine. Enterprise were polite, courteous and very helpful and in no time we were driving off towards St Andrews in a newly cleaned Renault Master similar to the one in the picture above, only our one is a long wheel base (LWB) model with a higher top. It is essentially a giant kite on wheels into which you can pile loads of stuff and transport it to wherever you wish.
We wish to transport it from the harbour area at Cellardyke to somewhere about a mile away. It’s now raining, there are no fewer than 4 vans and 2 cars almost blocking the road from our house to the harbour, and George Street has now been closed to traffic by the council. How convenient!
So the only route in and out is via East Forth Street, which is even narrower than George Street (which would have been the luxurious route). And on my way to the harbour when we arrived back with the van I met two vans, three cars and a bus!
I can tell already that this is going to be an adventurous couple of days, and that my reversing of LWB vans skills are going to improve rapidly. If it is your discipline, a few prayers for wisdom, guidance, safety and good weather would be gratefully received from all concerned in the removals operation. Oh, and energy. Thanks.
Now, which of the Naked Gun series was it that featured a van reversed up too close against a telegraph pole? 2.5? 😉
Having driven one of those very vans, from the same very nice people, along some narrow roads myself, I will add you to the top of the prayer list!!
All the best for the move today.
And Happy Birthday!!!
For one whole day we’re the same age, but I’ll officially be old tomorrow ;o)

My sister Jenni and I were the same age last week too. She is 360 days younger than I am and so is the same age as me from 6 November – 10 November every year.
Belated Happy Birthday Ricky.
