It’s been almost five years since Manjula’s spirit split….

… Off to a new life (she still keeps in touch through her messengers). But part of her remains here, her presence is felt always. In the last few months as this anniversary approaches we’ve heard from and had visits from many previous guests who remain friends.

But what a fab place.

The velvet padded roof from inside has been retained and brought back home. Later we’ll decide if it can be repaired and used.

The seats, floor covers, windows, window mechanisms are all now here, so they’re less likely to get lost or damaged.

Our new team member, whose team will do the work, seems detailed enough, checking each step of the way. The carburettor needs replacing, the battery will be shifted as part of installing disc brakes.
