Alfisti

The problem with a new car is recognising it.

I’d walked up and down the road before I found it : sleek, grey and 2 litres of Alfa fun. I’m still getting used to all the gadgets and wondering at the marvels of cruise control but I have rediscovered something I found all those years ago when I was 21 : the fun of driving.

Today I was heading into London to shop. Not the ideal occupation on one of the hottest days of the year but a lot better to do it after a cruise controlled and air conditioned drive. All that luxury stopped at Portabello Road which >was full of people wilting under the heat. Luckily I knew what I was getting and where to get it so I was soon in the centre of London enjoying the breeze from the Thames as I wandered around the Turkish festival eating mezze and trying to decide if I should buy a DVD.

It’s another call to Istanbul and one that makes the pull even stronger…
