Patty sat slumped next to a bottle or 2 of vino.... It had bin a tough year though acquiring the white wolf had been a stroke of genius, she now had a partner in crime as Freya was shaping up nicely in the art of uplifting treasures to restock her handbag..what she now needed was a road trip to test out the training......

... and (eventually!) the White Wolf was up and running with the empties - in search of new adventures ...
...plus a multitude of exciting things with which to fill Mum's gladbag......
Happy hunting - just don't go trying to retrieve my clanging hammer collection, Freya - or I'll let the gravy stained cat loose ....

Flappy hearing this thought "please feel free to relieve me of the blessed Gravy Stained Cat" Flappy said that he needed a little time before the trip because he hadn't quite finished the upgrade to the tandem trike. Flappy had decided to follow the trend and go electric drive. He had got to grips with the Chinese fella LiPO4 or some such and he had purloined an electric motor by telling Mrs Flappy the Singer sewing machine was cream crackered. His idea was to fit a side car to contain a mahoosive battery bank plus an inverter as the Singer motor was actually 240v and hence the inverter. Weirdly the contraption did seem to work albeit with lots of flashes and showers of Sparks and hints of magic smoke. John mooched over and stood scratching his head (and other body parts) while giving his opinion, the Gravy Stained Cat stood up while securing his position with his claws gripping into Flappy's skin. Flappy looked at John and said "never mind all the huffing and puffing, it'll work, trust me, I've upgraded the brakes too so stopping even at 90mph won't be a problem"

John finished scratching and sniffed his fingers (one of his more minor offensive habits). He hummed and harrrred for a bit and then piped up .... "if it does 90mph couldn't you mount a wind generator on a pole above it so you can charge the battery as you are going along"?

Flappy seized this observation offered by John, but was split on whether to have a horizontal or a vertical axis Flappy decided to go for a vertical axis, "I really think that this will work" Plus with a vertical axis it red "will provide somewhere for me to mount the old red duster!!

"Well" said John "trying to hide a sly smile " it just so happens that I can lay my hands on one slightly used one for errrrrmmm a few beer tokens ?"

Patty had no idea what John and Flappy were planning but she just knew they needed her supervision.......

Flappy felt uncomfortable, almost as if he was under survalence, he had a quick shufty but couldn't spot Mrs Flappy, weird he thought and continued planning with his old mucker when it hit him..... Patty was listening in. Flappy shuddered at the thought of exactly what Patty was planning. Flappy arranged for John to join him on a little shake down cruise on his newly converted Tandem trike (with leccy drive and sidecar) John stood back to admire his newly fitted verticle wind genny and as Flappy rocked up he held out his hand for beer tokens. Flappy passed across the folding beer tokens and climbed aboard, John followed with some trepidation, casting an eye over Flappy's interpretation of best practice electrical installation and shuddered. The gruesome twosome left the Bar and Patty behind as Flappy slowly cranked up the speed. 20mph, 30mph, 40mph,John gulped while Flappy let out a joyous yell. 50mph, 60mph, 70,mph and still going. John had by this time closed his eyes and tightened his grip on the handlebars it's worth pointing out that John LIKES to be in control and at this point he was anything but

A sidecar on a tandem trike not the most comfortable transport she'd travelled in but it had to be an improvement on how Flappy and John were travelling ..she looked at the guys holing tight to the handlebars as the trusty(?) tandem creaked n groaned with the added weight of the lecky drive. She'd be ok with parachute strapped to her back, crash helmet and her handbag, she was prepared for any eventuality...... In the distance a white Wolf howled.....

John's knuckles were white with the strength of his hold on the handlebars and he had closed his eyes in sheer terror ..... it seemed that Flappy had found the philosophers stone and had invented perpetual motion ......... and he was sure he just heard the howl of the chasing hounds of Hell in the distance

Meanwhile,Mrs BB continued to tussle with the white wolf over the last barrel of Rusty Rats Tail.She'd tried telling it that St Bernards used to carry small barrels of brandy attached to their collars,not bl***y big barrels of cider but white wolf wasn't listening.They continued to fight over the barrel & the next thing you know-white wolf,Mrs BB & the barrel were rolling down the hill...towards the intrepid travellers !😱

Peter was watching in amusement via the drone oops he exclaimed as they all met with a crash, luckily for them Peter teleported them out of harms way, however the trike, sidecar and barrel were no more!! Peter showed them the film from the drone Patty looked at them all with a steely glare, Peter was thankful he wasnt involved in this latest escapade, but he did teleport himself away just in case

Flappy was hopping mad at the loss of his beloved tandem trike (and sidecar) He laid the blame on Mrs BB who had been rolling down the hill locked in a epic battle with The White Wolve. Plus Flappy still had the Gravy Stained Cat attached to his person, mind you it did make him chuckle at the sight of Mrs BB rolling down the hill displaying her unmentionables to all and sundry ..... Bridget Jones eat yer heart out

Patty thought Peter could pop back into the past and pick up another tandem bike easy peasey..trouble was Peter was never around when he was needed. That relocator thingy he used would be much better stored in her handbag......

Peter was in the future admiring some of the latest electronic kit flying bikes who would have thought it he smiled, he quickly teleported the whole lot back to Flappy and John who looked in wonder at the thing, and threw the handbook away. "It flies" asked Flappy "ow fast" asked John? Peter was starting to have misgivings about his gift to them but thought what could go wrong as he gave the pair some parachutes just in case.
