Now for our next trick,last night the bloody van got stuck in the mud hole we call a drive so we decided to leave it until we could see which would be the best way to get the old girl out.We put stones and sand under the wheels,Ivan and assistant saw our plight and promptly downed tools(again am I ungrateful?maybe)to help by towing us out with his trusty Lada(great machine)but it didn't happen.then Damita our new next door neighbour turned up all smart in black jacket and trousers did he care no got stuck right in,so there we all were 5 trying in vain to unstick the unstickable! the van was going deeper and deeper into the mud,Lada no good,ah we need a tractor so Ivan's assistant went to find and sure enough he returned with a tractor plough and 2 more unknown assistants.Everyone got busy tying the rope and off the tractor went no good the rope snapped never mind Damita went for a steel rope,meanwhile David had looked under the van to find it wedged on a tree stump,after some discussion the jack was called for and the van was up, stones were wedged under the wheels and the tractor was off again! she was out.You had to see this to believe it fantastic what can you say I must admit I was a little chokes to say the least,after shaking hands and many thankyou's all went back to there business,how do you give a stuffing to a window fitter(not)who has towed your van or tryed to and dug the wheels out etc.Well its simple you can't
