I'm starting to think of the interior of Olly. My little brother Barney works for Auto Glym so he
has the exterior in hand, he will make Olly look like a gleaming Ferrari on a bright summers
day. Or he will at least try to. As we're using Olly as our wedding car he'll have to scrub up!
I was getting a little worried in November when the flooding arrived and the water around us
was rising fast. While packing sand bags and lifting precious items to high ground my
thoughts switched to Olly. Sod the precious photos, wedding invites, computers etc I
launched into protecting Olly mode. I was sure Olly wouldn't be good at swimming and didn't
wan't our old buddy floating down the road so took him to higher ground. Our friends returned
home from work wondering why an old limo was sat on their drive way prompting "how long
will it be here?" My thoughts, until it's safe for him to return home!
The floods played havoc across the country and we had our own share, our neighbour a few
doors down ended up on the local news after her kitchen flooded. Real community spirit
kicked in and although it was frightening a little bit of the Blitz spirit pulled us through and
that felt good!
This is behind my house and is where I usually walk our dog. There is a bench and waist high railings in the middle but they are nowhere to be seen. It looks like a lake!
As we've already found out , Olly is not as water tight as we may may have expected. So the
rain and snow have not been kind to him. An internal overhaul is now essential. It's not just a
cocktail bar that's essential for our road trip but some dry and not smelly or mouldy seats that
have become more important.
So any ideas to give Olly an internal make-over would be welcome. Maybe, pimp my ride or DIY SOS..............................................

11 Saturdays to go and so much more to do
Sorry it's been so long but there has been other things on my mind..........................................
I hoped I wouldn't and laughed at the stories I had read but it's true Bridezilla does finally shout a big
hello. The lists just seem to get longer even though I am ticking things off.
It's all very real now and the invites are starting to go out. Although, I must remember to put stamps
on, there is money saving and just plain cheeky!
Olly has been sitting patiently on the drive over the winter but will need to be woken from hibernation
soon. However, slight problem. He has leaky sills we have found and the inside looks a little like a
damp and mouldy shed with a leaky roof.
I wonder how others vehicles have faired through the winter?
