New batteries fitted

36,974 air miles and we are back home in time for the partial eclipse of the sun. It may be the first day of spring but having spent two months in the sun it feels like winter! The mini definitely agrees as it reluctantly started yesterday and then refused to start at the shops so Sue had to bring the other car so we could jump start it. Bought a battery charger and charged all night but still no good. One new battery later and we are back working.
