Just a quick update to say we didn't do our 4x4 driving course this weekend as an unnamed member of JollyFollies had a little prang in our car on the way home from work on Friday night.

Everyone involved (2 other cars) escaped uninjured, so apart from the dented mental and pride we can consider ourselves lucky.We think we will now be doing the course sometime in the new year, and of course will keep you updated here.

Apart form this not much has been happening in the world of JollyFollies. Both Ollie and Jenny have started learning the Russian alphabet, in preparation for learning some of the language before we set off. Jenny has an advantage here, as she did it at 'A' level**. This means she probably doesn't have to practice the alphabet as she's driving along the motorway, on a Friday, on the way from home. Ollie does..........

** Jenny has pointed out she did not do it for A Level, but did study it for 2 years
