I got to the yard at 09.00 on Saturday.
Christine, Karen and Laura were peering underneath their lorry and wearing expressions of a worried nature.
“Have you got your power pack?” asked Karen. “It won’t start.”
I connected the power pack and we tried again.
There was a promising noise but still the starter didn’t turn over completely.
So I gave them the keys to my lorry and off they trundled to Allens Hill where Karen was competing in affiliated dressage.
I remember my old Bedford TK – that was a right bugger to start sometimes!
