Re: How to post photos on new discussion
The big leaves in bottom photo looks similar to mine TTDA SO POSSIBLY mine could be a Hollyhock …..
Re: How to post photos on new discussion
Then I think it is a hollyhock. It'll flower soon and confirm one way or the way. If you don't like it, you can pull it up before the seeds develop. I love mine, nice against a fence or wall, especially if you have a variety of colours.
ThThese Were growing in the crack between the garden boundary and the road opposite of holiday cottage in Norfolk. Not quite outback in June.

Re: Yorkshire Dealership Recommendations
One I would say do not use is Wandahome of South Cave. They had 5 weeks notice of my visit to pick up a new in stock Eriba caravan. I had travelled 320 miles from Devon/Cornwall borders, leaving home at 5.00am. A 1 hour handover became 4 hrs as they were not ready for me. The van had not had a full pdi and the roof was filthy, later taking me two hours to clean and polish. I found unsealed holes in the floor where the mover wires had been fitted, the "engineer" got a shock off the van when he went underneath [I believe it was static] and the habitation battery had to be replaced as the the case was damaged. Various little jobs also needed addressing. The specification on the van also differed to that advertised and I have only recently found out the expensive Garmin media unit is missing.
They are no longer an Eriba dealer, I wonder why?

Rowena’s allowed me access to posting photo’s . So now I can reveal the unknown self seeded plant. Anyone know what it is ?
Thanks again Rowena
Re: What are you all up to
We travelled from Cornwall up to Putts Corner (Sidmouth) on Monday. Met up with our youngest daughter and boyfriend yesterday ans after a bite to eat at the little cafe near Ness/ Shaldon, we thought we'd travel on a bit further and visit Paignton. Managed to get parked on the front, but a little too windy to sit on the beach. Instead we went for a walk on the pier - I don't remember the last time I even went near an amusement arcade..... 🤣🤣
......and can't believe who we met....

Re: What are you all up to
Good news and bad news. Typical. Good news is that Mrs.WN didn't fancy the frames the second time around so no expenses, yet. Bad news is that painter didn't turn up until nearly 5pm and he's going on his hols for 2 weeks on Friday! More frustrating is that if he'd told me he couldn't get here until late we would have gone back to the Electrics shop. Again, in the grand scheme of things its nothing but….
Have you got anymore appointments for the feet @Bakers2?
Received 2 appointments for the Kidney Nurse in September and October. Calendar these days filling up with more and more medical appointments. Will have to ring them tomorrow and rearrange September one.
Re: What are you all up to
Good to hear that your foot problem is getting less painful @Bakers2
All my best wishes @DEBSC it certainly sounds as if you had a lovely day.
@Wherenext I hope that you get what you want from the Electric store and the paint job can be completed before the weekend. Have you had any communications from your M/H dealer about your, now solved, gas problem?
It has rained here on and off for most of the day and at one stage tonight it look as if the gods were trying to refill the reservoir all in one go!😆 it is much darker tonight than of late and quite chilly too. We did manage to get a few short walks done in the dry, including a pleasant one around Ashbourne Park this morning, and then did a bit of shopping at Aldi, but we were quite disappointed with the number of items now not available there. It appears to no longer carry the number or variety of products that it once did.
Re: What are you all up to
Yes indeed @nelliethehooker I did appreciate the photos from @Francis . All places I know and love. @Takethedogalong has beaten me to it with recommendations. So much to see and do in the area. If you have a head for heights and your knees are in good health I would recommend a climb up the tower of Cromer church and also a visit to the Cromer Pier Show if that is your sort of thing. Many moons ago I spent a lot of time in The Jetty Coffee Bar. It is still there but is now called The Jetty Cafe. The layout is still the same as it is a listed building. Sadly the juke box is no longer there. We also like a trip on The Poppy Line steam railway from Sheringham.
Such a frustrating few days for you @Wherenext I hope you get everything sorted soon
Happy Birthday @DEBSC 🎉🎁🎂. It sounds as though you have had a good day.
We had an absolute downpour yesterday late afternoon. I was in the garden and got absolutely soaked. It only lasted about 10 minutes and was very localised. Today we have had intermitant light rain. I am not sure it has done the garden a lot of good but has hopefully freshened things up a bit.
I am glad your foot seems to be improving @Bakers2
Re: Lithium battery upgrade and cost
There are so many utube videos now where people have charged lithium (fitted with BMS) from standard chargers, solar, even simple constant power supplies, that I wonder how much longer we will have to listen to the mantra 'Must have this or that.'
Good special Lithium chargers do have the forced voltage mode if connected to a flat battery where the BMS has shut it down. All it does is wake up the battery to take a charge. You can achieve the same thing by using a simple battery rig. Not going into details incase somebody does it wrong. But just see for yourself.
Any good quality charger will recognise the requirements and charge away happily, indeed faster than it will a lead acid. If you are using a battery charger that is cheap and nasty then you will get what you asked for. Different of course for 'smart alternators' when you want to charge whilst travelling, you will probably need a battery to battery charger. Or just do what I do and trust to good old solar. After all it works just the same when I'm travelling.
Happy Vanning everyone..
