Dave : Going grey at the temples; skilled in all manner of practical things; laughs in the face of danger. Prefers to 'just get on with it' and impatient of delay.
Sara : Getting fatter all the time; prefers string and blu-tack to power tools; suffering menopausal feelings of doom. Dedicated planner, list-maker and drawer of pictures before doing anything.
Tropi : Yacht of the Gods, yet to cover herself in glory in the race series, but it's only a matter of time.
The Little White Van : our workhorse, modern-day donkey. Working on ways to make it run on straw. Capacity of a Tardis.
Spanakopita : the lime-green Punto (named for spinach pie). Given to engine failure just when most needed (the 'spanner' in spanakopita).
