Half Time in the loading of motor -- getting it ready for a short ( 11 days ) trip to East Anglia for a couple or three steam rallies

Have a lovely trip Bakers2, especially the weekend with your son and his OH in Mundesley. It is a lovely part of the country and it will be great for you to spend time with them.

Hope your arm is getting better Millie?
Apologies, I missed Bakers2 on the holiday list, lovely to hear that someone won a break away in a nice area. Our weather forecast is very good all through til next week, hope it's the same in Norfolk. I've been on that beach, many years ago.

Malcom, it's worth having a look at the Tesco Days out possibilities on their web site. Your vouchers can be worth up to 4 times as much. So you £16 spent on shopping might have bought you something worth £64. There are a lot of possibilities, houses / castles for when you run out of NT, museums, zoos and meals to name but a few.
I tend to make a note of when they run out and then use them for shopping close to that date, if we have not used them for anything else.
When we went to London last September I swapped £20 of Tesco vouchers for £80 worth of entry ones, which got us in to the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, a boat on the Thames and a few other places.

You are quite right Tammy! I have thought the same thing myself and have, in fact, commented to Malc about it in the past. The medics often comment " No-one can be forced to take our advice but then we have to pick up the pieces".......Malcolm is a law unto himself on all things though, aren't you Malc?

So right SteveL, I used mine for London like you, what a difference it made, didn't feel at all an expensive trip. I forgot to check mine before coming away this time though, so I think I have lost about £5 in vouchers. We don't have that many things in Scotland to use them on but I do try to get some thing for trips down south.

That's right, they can be worth up to 4 times as much. We've used them this time on shopping but will get more in August and so can look at what's on offer then.

I fell asleep for a couple hours after the fish and chip lunch with the aircon switched on as it started to get too hot. It's now too hot to sit in the relaxer in the awning but comfortable in the caravan.

, Bakers--Brue !!!! ( Sounds like a good Ale 
.) Thanks for that ..3 -
The sun's setting now and at last the outside temperature is dropping, so maybe soon it will be cool enough in the awning.
I know it has been said on here by other posters that why not open up the windows and use the cool breeze instead of aircon but what about a day like today when there's no breeze and it's sweltering hot by mid afternoon? Even a fan would just blow hot air on you in these conditions!

You may have survived, IanH but I bet you felt uncomfortable in mid afternoon!

Had a great day today.
Breakfast at Wellesbourne Airfield (superb - highly recommended).
Moved to Charlecote Park. Saw swans with their young on the lake and young deer in the fields.
On to Upton House. Their new theme this year is to present the house as it was when the Bearsted family bought it in 1927.
Very hot and drank about a gallon of tea / water through the day.

Sounds lovely Tammygirl have a great stay. Do you have ordinary/electric bikes as well as your trike? Out of curiosity how do you travel with them? I know you tow the trike.
Took mum to visit her youngest sister at rehab centre today, she's been in there for 3 weeks since fracturing her pelvis. A 3/4 hours drive from her house and mum's 20 minutes from me. I've been saying I'd take her all that time but she agreed at the weekend we'd go Wednesday, fine, my aunt comes out tomorrow all being well and she lives a 15 minute drive from mum's 😲😲. Lovely place in an old cottage hospital, arrive at a personed desk, first shock, second shock my mum gives the name if her older deceased sister 😲.

We've got up to another sunny morning here in Worthing. It's quite cool at the moment so I'm sitting out in the awning typing this post. Trying to make the most of it before it gets too hot. Earlier, we watched the weather forecast on breakfast tv. It seems that it's going to get hotter by Sunday. Thank goodness the aircon is working now. We're certainly going to need it.
Today, we'll be busy packing to get ready for tomorrows trip to Chipping Sodbury and then on to the club site at Cirencester Park. We'll be leaving tomorrow morning, hopefully whilst it's still cool enough to do all the outside jobs of hitching up etc. After that, the heat won't matter because we'll be in the car with the aircon going.

I'll be going to Tesco Extra petrol filling station this morning to fill up diesel in the Shogun, ready for tomorrow's journey. It's still got about two thirds of a tank left over from the last trip, so will probably cost about £30 to fill it full. Another 37 points using Tesco credit card.

Had a lovely drive from Bridgenorth to Llanelli, up through the Brecons yesterday. Once set on site decided that my hips needed a rest after 4 days of strolling and the drive. We sat outside in the sun for lunch and there I stayed until making dinner which was also eaten outside. The meal was an idle one of hot dogs with plenty of onions

lol
. I might add that my trip to the pfs to fill up will be in the morning whilst it's still cool. I'll be in the caravan with the aircon switched on this afternoon. I couldn't help noticing others on this site searching for a shady spot yesterday afternoon, to get out of the hot sun! So I wasn't the only one!0 -
Sounds exactly what a holiday/trip should be like. Go as you feel and do as please.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this glorious weather - long may it continue. No air-conditioning but pacing myself if necessary and a sit in the shade if necessary. So much better than grey days and long nights. Fantastic.

It's lovely isn't it, being out in the fresh air is great. I like warm evenings sitting outside, we haven't had many of those lately.
edit. Our son is helping out at Glastonbury this year, (not sure what that means, probably a lot of talking and enjoyment!) he's been visiting the site so no doubt the roads will start to get busy round there soon. I wonder what the Glastonbury weather will bring? Not long to go.
