It was all going along so nicely - we had a good time in Nairn this weekend - and then, this morning - bang! - literally.
I got to Oldmeldrum and was heading round the (relatively) new bypass, almost through the middle roundabout, when a black Passat comes shooting in from the left, not even slowing down, let alone stopping, as she approached the roundabout. The impact was on my rear left (nearside) wheel and it spun my car round about 90 degrees.
I was a little shocked and, later on, I noticed I had a slight cut and bump on the top of my head, but, otherwise fine. The driver of the Passat was in shock - she apologised but her English wasn't too good, but her son wrote down her name and address for me.
I tried to drive on, but the impact had knocked the wheel off centre and the car was wobbling all over the road, so I pulled in and made all the phone calls and waited for the recovery vehicle. Three hours later, I was in my office at Bridge of Don, after having had to persuade the recovery truck to take me there - they were going to leave me to fend for myself!
I now have a nice replacement BMW:
Back to Nairn now - nice weekend - check out Jo's blog for some photos and stories, but here's a few more:
