Had an adventure today. Every month I'm responsible for buying the house food, this month when everyone is back from their holidays and with the new students and the team we have 50 people for lunch each day. I took a new member of staff who was quite amazed at how much we were buying. 5 BIG trolleys later, we struggled to load it all into the kombi, especially as the trolleys wanted to roll down the slopes and onto the road or into parked cars (fortunately we grabbed them before they hit).For the first time ever our beloved kombi was unable to get up the hill.... some of you who have visited us can understand this, sometimes I feel unable to get myself up these hills. So, the spare people got out....but it still couldn't do it. As we were close to home Dave was called to bring the VW Beetle to clear out some of the weight. Finally, all of the shopping was put away.
Phew, another 4 weeks before we need to do that again.

bThat is the worst bit of all the up hill trek, I hate that short stretch, I can understand the poor combi giving up there. You had a good shop, hope you got some treats.xxxxxxxxx
Just to be clear, the 40yr old VW Beetle managed to get back up the hill laden with shopping but the 1yr old Kombi did not quite manage it. I must admit that the Kombi did have a little more shopping in it than the Beetle though.
