My top three spaces to use are different to his, but then I judge them how easy it is to open the passenger door wisely for my daughter.

In 2024 I moved to a town called Devizes, started a new spreadsheet and set about a new parking challenge, because I have to amuse myself somehow. Well, last weekend I completed that challenge and like Halley’s comet I periodically return to tell you all of my parking victories.
