G'day folks a timely reminder to exercise care. A week last Saturday I tripped on the steps out front and went into the concrete driveway head first.

bWell you may ask - what is a Chesterfield Savanah. They do say a picture is worth a thousand words, so have attached a couple for those interested, hope they are attached. This particular van was made by a small company in Melbourne who are trying to break into the market. Whilst I don't know the reaso...
