Currently running errands to the house in Old Town Hastings in the 'Ginger Carthorse' aka the 1968 Alfa Romeo Giulia. I was sad to see the trusty dark fig Alfa (1975) traded in for this oddity of a colour. There have been a few early mornings getting the breakdown chaps to come out to try and coax the car to start in the recent cold weather. The London climate is not quite suiting the little Italian at the moment, I'm afraid. If you see Old Ginger on the A2, don't be fooled into thinking the drivers are 70s sitcom types 'George and Mildred' at the steering wheel; give a wave as we hare past! Hats off to the lovely Titus Rowlandson, the Alfa guru based in Eye, Suffolk, for working his magic and keeping this oldie on the road. By the way, do keep a look out for Jasmin Rowlandson's ceramic work which is making regular appearances designing ceramics for interiors and galleries across the UK.
