Farewell to our Morgan!

What a traumatic day as we waved goodbye to 'Nellie' as she sat on Richard Thorne's transporter before the long journey to the Reading area.

Our last drive in the Morgan was to Silverdale,  north on the M6 and off at Carnforth to what is a lovely area with a very interesting coastline.

It was a little disappointing in the sense that the area was very crowded with families,  the bulk of which I'm sure,  spending their holidays in the UK due to Covid and the narrow roads were extremely busy with one of the main routes closed.

Anyway we had a very pleasant picnic on the shore and of course enjoyed the drive in the Morgan although the potholes as usual were troublesome.

                                                                Just a wee snack!

The decision to say goodbye after 13 years had been slowly building during this summer as we realised that we weren't using the car as much usual and it was, due to our advancing years,  getting more difficult to get in and out of it!

 Time now for someone else to experience the satisfaction and joy of owning one!

A big thank you to all the followers of my blog and I hope that you have all enjoyed reading about our adventures in possibly one of the only remaining true sports cars.
