She’s Back! … Bella, my rust bucket of a Fiat Panda has finally come back from the garage and she’s purring like an ageing Italian B movie star … cat.

Actually, I’ve never known of any Italian B movies featuring cats as stars but if there ever has been one … Bella would be it’s automobile avatar.

Infact, I’m so inspired by the return of my beloved that I’m going to share a poem about her with this blog…

My beautiful Brum brum Bella,
Forever in the heart of this fella,
I’m deaf to cold calls saying sell ‘er,
Besides, I ain’t even bin offered a tenna!

Living near Shakespeare Country has obviously rubbed off on me… don’t ya think?
