Burst tyre

We should have been travelling to Lancashire to take our grandson’s birthday presents, but we got as far as Stafford on the M6 and had a burst tyre. Luckily the RAC man arrived in less than an hour. Luckily it wasn’t raining/snowing/blowing a gale. Luckily it wasn’t next week on our way to Heathrow. Sadly, grandson won’t get his presents until next weekend now, but we’re all safe and home, so all’s good.

Sorry that you had a flat, glad you are safe and sound.

@larrysphotos Thanks Larry.

[Lynne]

What a bummer! I know your grandson was probably missing you (and his presents, of course)

[Diana]

At least the story had a happy ending, great documentation shot.

[Babs]

Oh dear, good to hear you got home though. A saying of ours during our RAF days was 'All planning is flexible' Very often when we planned an evening out David would get sent away at short notice on a job and I wouldn't see him for weeks

Such a bummer!

[Boxplayer]

Ooh can be scary, glad it was sorted.

[Susan Wakely]

Oh no! Your misfortune will give your grandson the opportunity to have a second birthday.

Glad you are safe

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh no. That's not good, but thankfully you were able to get it fixed quickly.

[carol white]

Glad you managed to get it fixed quickly

[Beverley]

Yikes…. Good old RAC

[Carole Sandford]

Not quite the day you expected! All good now though.

[Heather]

How stressful and scary! Glad it got resolved quickly. A great shot for this narrative!

[Phil Howcroft]

oh dear not a nice experience Lesley

[Speedwell]

Oh no! How horrible. Burst and waiting on a motorway is certainly hazardous! Nice seasonally yellow floor there to accompany the wheel.

Always happens at the most inconvenient times don’t you think Jackie:)
