Gino was last year's purchase but being an older model her interior left quite a bit to be desired. In fact a friend who viewed the transformation said she realised I'd be much happier.

Graeme is the oldest by a long chalk, well at least 18 days older and as such should know better...He does, he knows most things! He celebrated with a birthday cake at Beppino's Gelateria and a lunch at Soulshine, both delicious and elected to play eighteen holes of golf whilst I got to sit at home and crochet.
