Crash and burn or flames of glory

As you've read there has been a massive amount of anxiety around towing the Caravan of Wrighteousness home... Mainly because I had images of catastrophic caravan disintegration. Rubble spread all over the highway, cars damaged by chunks of flying debris...

You know ending up with something that looks like this.....




 Or this....

(OK so the first has clearly been set up, and the second I mayyy have enhanced slightly. In my defense I couldn't find an image that came even close to the scenes of chaos I was imagining)

The day we decided to haul the Caravan of Wrighteousness home was a bit dodgy; patches of rain, gusty winds, you know.. a typical Tassie day. We were gonna go, then not, then gonna, then not, until finally Spanner Wielder pulled the trigger. We went, umming and ahhing about the weather all the way there. All elements for disaster where present!

And then it was all rather boring. Spanner Wielder backed up to the carvan, linked up and pulled it up the driveway.The only real drama was that the trailer lights didn't want to work. But as the name suggests, Spanner Wielder is pretty handy and we were on the road in no time.



And the weather even cleared up!!! It was the SLOWEST I think we've ever driven between Burnie and Devonport, and I've never checked the side mirrors so often as a passenger, but........
WE MADE IT!!!! The Caravan of Wrighteousness is now patiently waiting outside Spanner Wielders workshop ready for us to dive in!!!
