Picks up the Overlocker.
One woman in a grey Kia didn't like me sticking to the speed limit. Looked over at me, and my husband just looked back at her!
One white Audi came out of a side road and didn't see me coming. Then he got stuck behind a bus and didn't like that!
I was glad to get home in one piece!
Now to take the overlocker into the house!
It will have to share the space with the Sewing Machine.

Much needed cup of coffee after that Journey.
While hubby went for a walk
