Well, now that it's back from the cylinder repairs I just can't stay off the lil' 'Rambler...so we went out for a cruise through the local Barossa Valley countryside.
Here we are on Seppeltsfield Road Marananga, one of the classic Barossa tourist zones.

We were having a good time on cruisy backroads and in fact just starting to head home when BANG...something hit my (open face) lid.
As I have an anaphylactic reaction (and very serious ones at times) to most every bee sting I encounter, we pulled up at the side of the highway.
Within only a couple of minutes I was in a pretty bad way (again..last one only 3 months ago).
Playing it smart this time we called 000 and then Kaz hit me with the Epipen.
Ambo arrived quickly and transported me to Tanunda Hospital.
Spent a few hours there under observation taking into account the antihistamine/adrenaline injection I had been administered.
All good after a few hours and one of the staff even ran us back out to the bike when she finished her shift.
Now that's dedication for ya!
Thanks to Toni and all the staff at the hospy, plus all those who pulled up at the scene of the bee's demise.
OK, hope ya like the photos..cheers.

The western entrance has an Avenue of Palms – a five kilometre trail of Canary Island Date Palms, planted by Seppeltsfield workers during the Great Depression.
