    Hope the sun is shining for the visitors to Cornwall, it's not too bad here and still mild.

    When we were helping our daughter move home, still ongoing, we retrieved a large box of her brother's things (sounded like lego when we shook it!) Then we noticed she was "looking after" a large painting done by a friend's daughter, I had to smile as I wondered
    how many years that would stay with her. Wink

    On tenterhooks here - waiting to find out if the caravan we had stolen 3 years ago has turned up or not. Waiting for Police to verify VIN/if it is still visible etc.

    Every mark looks the same though in the pictures, keep telling myself it isn't ours - trying not to get my hopes up!

    picking up a few provisions shortly as we are going to try Crealy touring tomorrow....the topsham/Exmouth area is a favourite of ours and thought we would try Crealy over our usual CS.

    Write your comments here...Let me know how it has improved out of curiousity. I had to leave a customer there years ago when we used to hire motorhomes after another she campsite was booked into refused entry. I think it was basic then, with no EHU or anything,
    and charged them £65 per night - though that was peak season.

    Good luck with that David.  We still haven't managed it.  We still have 4 boxes of our youngest son's belongings here.  Everytime we go over to N.Ireland and put a few bits in the suitcase!

    Write your comments here...

    Trouble is David you can't just take it down to the tip in case they really want it! 

    I empty the loft/cupboards/garage of their stuff and give them 7 days to retrieve what they want before going to the tip with it. The ceiling upstairs has now lifted up by 1/4 to 1/2 an inch as a result of the loft being emptied.

    Oh well - off to play removal man today, I can feel a bad back coming on right now.

    Glad we're not the only ones with the same problem!  LaughingLaughing

    So off to look at a Porsche Carrera 2 (997) Cabriolet this afternoon.

    OH now getting over 'man flu' just a cough seems to be the issue today. He's out in his new shed again putting up shelves and working out how/where he is going to but his bench. I'm sorting a few things indoors and making losts of phone calls. Now that I'm almost officially a Pensioner (receipt of pension in Nov.) I've been looking into some of the local fitness and leisure facilities that are available. However it would seem that they do not recognise me as a senior until I am 65 Yell so battle has commenced, if I was receiving a 'Benifit' I would be a 'concession' I explained that the Government classes me as a Senior as I'm 63 and this is the age this year that women become Pensioners. Has anyone else come across this kind of double standards/discrimination. When is a Pensioner not a Pensioner.

    We just had one lunchtime delivery to do. Now back at the caravan for a cream tea. The sun's gone in and been replaced by cloud, wind and rain.

    We're at present sitting outside the beach cafe pat Portreath having a hot drink.  It would be better if the wind would drop thpugH.   It's a touch cold.

    We're in Gateshead resting before the Divine Comedy gig tonight. It was a wonderful drive over  the A66  - dark skies, shafts of sunlight and emptiness all around. It seemed very elemental . We detoured via Barnard Castle for lunch at The Farmers Teashop
    (seemed appropriate). It was bustling and had a lively feel despite being a Monday in mid October.

    When I say "resting" I mean my husband is asleep and I using the free (but basic) Wifi. 

    Taxi booked for later to take us to a pre booked table at the restaurant at The Sage.

    A a bottle of something fizzy ready for when we get back.

    Who says we don't know how to enjoy ourselves!

    And how is Anna coping with all that partying (sorry, that should, of course, say studying Wink), David?

    Hope you're having a good time down in Cornwall, but please leave some sunshine for next week!! Happy

    My  Doc's  surgery  is  like  DaveFL2's in  that  they  send  us  a  letter  in  Sept  telling  us  when  the  'Free  Jab Circus'  is  on  site.

    Then  it's  a  case  of  turn  up,  fight  thro'  the  scrum  and  flee  !!

    No,  truly  it  aint  bad  but  I  got  button-holed  by  my  favourite  Nurse  --  she  was  manning  the  Charity  Tombola  stall { &  burst  out  laughing  at  my  expense  when  I  won  two  packets  of  wine  gums Sealed 
    }

    Then  a  pair  of  Incomers  tried  to  get  me  to  accept  an  entry  form  for  the  Bowel  Cancer  Testing  Lottery  !!  I  sure  as hell  didnt  want  to  win  that  one  SurprisedSad  
    !!

    Got  my  Jab  &  fled,  smartish  !!
