Eureka !!!

With no sign of the carrier pigeon I rang my naval insurance company at 10.00am this morning who confirmed they still know where my car is and an estimate had been received at 0830 this morning, which has been passed to their assessors for a decision. Due to the Christmas and New Year breaks the assessors have a considerable backlog of work but a decision is anticipated today and I will be notified accordingly (I'm not going to hold my breath). I am now on very friendly terms with naval insurance staff Mark, Stacey, Mellisa, Nick and Tim. Blue sky and sunny again, a good cruising day. We plan to cadge a lift to Stensons at the earliest opportunity.
