Victory - FDR style!

There is none so brave as a Wren, faced with lugging her increasingly weighty,  shopping-stuffed suitcases  through the crowded New York subway, when her DH announces  that he doesn’t much fancy driving in Manhattan… It’s OK, I’ll drive!  So here I am,  white knuckled at the wheel leaving town. 'The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself' Franklin D. Roosevelt Just follow the ambulance my family said, just in case we need it! Now I learnt to drive navigating Swindon's Magic Roundabout ,  I am used to driving in Melbourne and Hong Kong.  I have driven on the go as-fast-as-you-like autobahns in Germany,  and even coped with the p riorité  à  droite   system  in Belgium,   but driving in New York is pretty, pretty crazy! However, 'When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike,  you do not wait  until he has struck to crush him' Franklin D. Roosevelt Thank goodness...
