Hi Gordon ,won't you need them for your new track in sunny Scotland !!!

Ah....plans have changed! We are staying in France. Going north though, probably near the coast. Easy to get to the UK for slot racing and, more important, the temperature will be lower and the soil better. It's getting too hot here in the summer and growing our food is starting to be a struggle.

We will be downsizing considerably. This place is ginormous and we only live in a fraction of it. The couple buying it - hopefully - have a young, growing family and that's what the house needs.

It will mean a bit of dosh in the bank and we will be able to get the new place as efficient as possible. Hopefully, we will find a place with a good outbuilding or convertable loft for the new track. I'm more into going fast than admiring the scenery and I can't see that this lot will come out of retirement any time soon.
