Best Of

Our visit today was to Land's End..... but a stop off at the tin mine at Carn Galver and the Trewellard Arms....

.....and the classic Land's End view.....

Pleased to read that your dealer has come up trumps, @richardandros perhaps you could clean your car, at least, using a bucket and sponge. Have you made any plans for your next trip yet?

Grand photos of both of your current trips @DSB and @Wherenext good to hear that you have got away without any problems.

We had a short rain shower last night just as I got back after our last walk but today has been fine and sunny, not too warm with a gentle breeze blowing. OH did the weekly wash before we headed out for a walk from the Site, down Bradford Dale to Youlgreave, and back up the land to the site. We passed at least 7 parties of young adults on the second day of their D of E expeditions. All the washing was dry by the time we got back. I did another walk, by myself, over to Middleton and along part of the Limestone trail. A few more units turned up today but the site is not half full.

Had an early visit to see the Kidney Nurse for my inoculation jab then home to finish loading the Van with last minute things. Had an easy drive to the NT house and grounds at Dunham Massey near Altrincham. Bit of a nippy wind first thing but the day and warmth improved as it went on. Couple of photos. Unfortunately the Roses had gone over but we concentrated on flying insects today. Enjoyed the day including some first class ice-cream.

After leaving we headed off to our CS, a lovely rural site but only 5 minute walk to a smashing pub, so on a hot afternoon it would have been rude not to make it's acquaintance. Nothing quite quenches the thirst like Cider. Sat out wondering if someone would miraculously conjure up dinner for us but to no avail. Lovely day.

Hope you are enjoying what must be a much needed break @Goldie146 and the views on your site, David, @DSB are most impressive - hope you have a great time.

Had a good day today. After admitting their fault, ALV have done more than I would have expected. Faulty /rusty / seized carrier was collected last week and today, Jon, their Chief Technician arrived here with a brand new carrier, and new wheel - indeed the only bit that's original - is my tyre. Fitted in five minutes and everything was blathered in grease - so hopefully there won't be any problems in the future. He also fixed the door blind which someone (not me!) had managed to pull off its mountings - so everything is back to normal😁

I'm now wresting with my conscience as to whether or not I should clean the car and van which are both pretty filthy after our 3 weeks away. Yorkshire Water have announced today that they are imposing a hosepipe ban from Friday because of seriously low reservoir levels and I can't see it improving anytime soon. There's no rainfall at all, forecast here for the next two weeks and I suspect it will go on longer than that.

I will have to top the pond up though - as that's now starting to suffer.
