A huge, tag axled Frankia sweeps majestically onto Quinta Majay.

Lots of grass raking and hay moving today, without the aid of the ride on mower (it has thrown a wobbly and refuses to budge).

My VIP guests then fire up their BBQ and force me to consume a Hereford steak the size of a small house.

Just when I thought I could get away and resume my fitness regime and diet, Kath emerges from her mobile palace with a bowl full of Brambly Apple pie and double cream.

It would have been rude not to eat it all up.

The sacrifices we hosts have to make for their visitors...

The 1987, Briggs and Stratton powered, ride on mower (and trailer puller) went on strike yesterday in sympathy with magnificent French workers.

It would not start.

Luckily on site was Wales' top mechanic (retired) who assessed the situation and suggested a new spark plug.

So a trip into Figueira dos Vihnos today.

First Champers emptied out the local Intermarche supermaket and afterwards we lunched in a very local restaurant.

Next a (proper Champion) sparkplug was purchased, coffees was drunk at the cafe across the road and, after taking the (fantastic) scenic route back to QMJ, the plug was fitted and the beautiful machine fired up first twist of the key.

Then the ruddy workforce went for a nap.

What is the point?

I KNEW I should have bought your extended warranty package... the plug cost €2.50.

JJ :cool:

You do realise your expenditure has completely upset the world money markets. The Euro is now in freefall as has been reported on the Euro thread. I knew all along you would be at the bottom of it all.

It's nice to have @Snowbird in 'dealer' guise, tarred with the same brush as all dealers, we are theiving lying two faced sons of the devil.

The warranty has expired, a likely story.

You do realise JJ that Kath sabotaged the spark plug just so you would have to head for civilisation and SHOPS. :wink:

Looking very smart there JJ. The mower seems to be doing a fine job. Wont be long now before you will need that mini digger for the pool. Will you be having a clubhouse or just a pool bar.

I'll bet he doesn't pay min wage, whatever that is in his banana republic.

What are you talking about Brian?

Paying 'minimum wage'!

Pay?

This is a health farm... taking in selected, out of condition, folk and sending them out, after their stay, all toned, fit and brown.

For this, many places charge a small fortune... here the fees are insignificant in comparison.

I need it NOW, but my UK Supplier seems to have been distracted by private motorhome projects... what has happened to reliability these days?

One sets a simple task like the purchase of a fully operational, tracked, second hand, mini-digger for under £1000 and months later... nothing.
