Big shout-out to Anne, Joanne and Service Team at Big shout-out to Anne, Joanne and Service Team at @pyeford (Morecambe) for bringing my car battery back to life! It’s very common problem at the moment. I called #FordAssist who sent #AA Jake who gave battery big charge so I could drive it to #Morecambe. They tested it and put it on boost charge for a while. I’d not been driving enough in #lockdown 🙄 so they suggested regular running engine on drive just to keep battery going. Very impressed with social-distancing & #covid19 protectionism the Showroom👍 

Proud to be Ambassador for this Ford UK dealership 🤗 l love my Quirkymobile!

Recently took a short drive from my house for a wa Recently took a short drive from my house for a walk at Caton Moor Wind Farm - spectacular views across Morecambe Bay, the Lake District fells and Yorkshire moors. With new #Covid19 restrictions in place I’m very lucky having a plethora (love that word!!!) of lovely places to exercise locally. So important to get outdoors for mental and emotional #wellbeing as well as physical exercise 🥾❄️🤗

(The Quirkymobile is coping VERY well in this winter cold!)

The views across the Bay towards the Lake District fells is one of the best in the area. Just good to get out and leave behind all the miserable news; nature’s a great panacea!!

The town looked so sad with hardly anything open, very few visitors and Christmas lights filtered through the gloom of the #Covid19 pandemic ... Yet this feisty, brash grande dame of seaside resorts will bounce back next year and we’ll once more be able to enjoy her #kissmequick #Lancashire enticements 🥳💋😎
