My Vespa has been lying up since St. Stephen’s Day because I got a puncture then.
I have been unable to get anyone to fit a replacement tyre on account of the holidays and places only opening up in the last few days after Christmas.
The weather has been extremely cold, too, and there would be no great appetite to be going out on frozen, icy roads this week.
But the weekend is approaching and so is an expected thaw. Then I will miss my Vespa and the kick I get from nipping around the roads close to home.
There is a new tyre ordered, however, so I am hopeful to be back in action on the Vespa soon. It is only a little pleasure, but I am looking forward to it, especially now that the days will begin to stretch.
