Aberdeen Rally

So Phil and I have just given the car its first major road trip by driving pretty much the whole length of the UK up to not so sunny Aberdeen! We saw salmon jumping up the river, some seals, and a 700 year old castle while we were there. And on the way back we stopped off for a BBQ and cricket match in Leicester. Our team nearly disbanded when Phil discovered just quite how little I know about cricket, and it didn't help matters much when I cheered on the Dutch team in favour of his adopted town of Leicester.

Betsy handled the road well, so that's a good sign! (Assuming that the roads in Kazakhstan are just like the M1). We had lots of trouble finding a petrol station in London, which is not a good sign for our navigation skills! And the car only made one inexplicable noise the whole trip...
