Just managed to get the Fiesta washed before the sun set... Looking good from a few feet back again and a couple of minor bits so it's ready for its service and MOT on Tuesday now.

Nice gift from Maeving to commemorate my first 5 years with them. The time has flown by, looking forward to the next 5!

Just washed the Fiesta, scrubs up well (from a distance). Then take the eldest out for her to practice her driving, then do a Sunday roast for dinner.
