Re: What are you all up to
@nelliethehooker Unfortunately we didn't get a guided tour at the Flaxmill... not sure they were doing them when we were there, but we did have quite a long chat to one of the helpers in the 'museum' who was really knowledgeable and helpful....

Re: What are you all up to
Great News @Goldie146 take it easy and take care. A few days in a lovely hotel is something to look forward to and aim for.
We had a week away in north Norfolk last week. Mixed weather, but didn't catch us out, 😉 almost once! Did very very little and came home refreshed.
I fear I switched off again this morning! Headed off with the dog for a good walk, a few steps into it my phoned pinged - reminder of hair appointment in one hour! Swift round the block, no gardening on our return either..... Had changed the bed first thing, went to peg out the bedding on our return, couldn't recall putting detergent in - so rewash. By the time I was back and pegged it out weather on the turn! So its been in and out a couple of times, out again at the moment, almost dry 🤞. Glorious sun interspersed with HEAVY thundery showers.
Managed to move the pots, grouped together for ease of neighbour watering, to their places. Still not succeeded in planting plants, hopefully tomorrow or Friday.
Thought Friday was 'free' day...... Learned grandson's postponed May Day - maypole dancing now Friday so don't want to miss that and Saturday its carnival in son's village, both grandson's taking part, youngest will be in his pushchair i presume. So that's another outing. Sunday open gardens at Elton on the calendar, must check out what that actually means....
Great to read folks news and see photos, keep them coming.

Re: CL with storage near Manchester
”It didn’t feel like a CL at all.”
What does a CL ‘feel’ like? They’re all different 🤷🏻♂️
Anyway, we’ve been dragged off topic by ET.
Re: What are you all up to
At last good news for me. I came home from hospital last night. I’m now sitting in a comfy recliner by the Aga catching up with what’s been happening at home.
We don’t think we’ll get away in the caravan this year. A step too far for me. So maybe a couple of nights in a posh hotel later in the year.
Re: What have you seen
A pleasant day out without anything spectacular...Swifts and Skylarks, Greenfinch and Yellowhammers, a couple of male Eider Ducks and a female Mallard with a posse of 6 tiny ducklings walking the tideline. Back at the site we had a young Grey Squirrel feeding on some crumbs, from Flyte's good tray, right by the caravan.
Re: What are you all up to
It had stayed fine for most of the day, apart from a couple of short light showers however this evening we had a cloudburst with thunder, heavy rain and some hailstones, but clear blue skies again now. We went to view Midhope Castle (Lallybroch to Outlander fans) and had a short walk down the Glen by Midhope Burn. This location has been by far the busiest with foreign visitors all our trip up to date.
Then onto Blackness for a second walk along by the Firth, but didn't bother going into the Castle as we have been a few times previously.
Tesco,fuel and Aldi on the way back to the site.
Re: CL with storage near Manchester
There are numerous sites like that, ET. It makes no difference to users when they are separate.
Re: Using our caravan while on dialysis
That's good to hear. I wish you success. Good idea to have support nearby incase it's needed.
As to blue jobs, all jobs in our household have become purple since my OH was poorly 7 years ago. I've taken to them,and although we don't motorhome any more 🥲, never say never, I did do some blue jobs. My top tip would be don't let the toilet cassette get heavy, along with topping up and emptying containers. Little and often is the secret 😉
Do let us know how you get on in this new venture.

Re: CL with storage near Manchester
LIke quite a few CLs Welltrough had space to segregate the CL and have a Commercial area as well. It is indeed a CL. Quite close to Jodrell Bank.
