Happy Holidays

Ziggy wanted "real food" after a month of ship fare across the Atlantic, so we sampled "local food!" 🤣

Catherine planned to retire in 2025, so in November '24, we downsized to one car, returning this leased fun-machine. She then accepted an offer to work for another year... I have been sans auto since and really miss this beauty 😬
