@vbfg Funnily enough I was watching a video on YouTube last night with some using a power (water power) rotary mop, it looked like a Karcher but I don't think it meets your requirements of uncorded? It was very effective especially when used in conjunction with the lance and soap dispenser.

Sorry @vbfg I can't help. @KjellNN should be along sooner or later and he probably will know.
MiL day today. Well, it was her birthday after all. What did she want to do? We were at her beck and call. M&S please as new Knickers and bra were required. Wow, she can still surprise me. Anyway off we trotted. After a nice M&S assistant helped with a "fitting" she was presented with a bunch of Roses by the lovely lady. 💐
Normality returned as we drove the few extra miles to Burley Dam Garden Centre for lunch primarily but where there just happened to be a Pavers and a Klass outlet as well. For those menfolk who live in blissful ignorance, Klass is a clothes store retailing really top notch ladies wear. Despite offloading some clothes to charity last week MiL got back on the horse and bought replacements. So, it's nice to know this 92 year old still wants to catch the eye when dining with friends.
Not satisfied with that we then stopped off at AbleWorld to try out Walkers as she is finding her existing one hurts her wrists. The assistant did agree the handles were slightly too high so she has bought a new one.
All in all she was well satisfied with her day, which was rather nice.😋

@DavidKlyne - I like the jigsaw. Hope Margarets progress is going well.

Another good drying day, with full sunshine and a gentle breeze, so OH made the most of it before we drove to Lenwade and did a 2ml out and then back walk along the old railway line that is now the Marriott Trail.
Those that are suffering from withdrawal symptoms from not seeing a Norfolk Church for a dsy or two, here is the one tied to the village where we are staying, the 13th C All Saints, Gressenhall.

We bought one 2 years back, daughter found it on Amazon I believe. It worked very well. Unfortunately it has mysteriously vanished, not su4e if daughter will k ow which one it was now.
However she has just bought another one, which I have assembled and inspected, but not yet used, so I can probably find out which one it is when we next see her. It looks very similar to the first one, it was less expensive, and also on special offer, so a very good price.
She has paid for it and will keep it at her house, but we will be able to borrow it…….she is not taking any chances that I might “mislay” this one!
I think she will probably come up and clean the caravan roof for us as we are getting on a bit, but as she has just helped me to clean the rest of the van, it will not be for a while yet.
Will report back when we have used it, but will meantime try to find out which one it is.

@milliehull - I saw a report today that Peterborough Cathedral has raised the £300,000 needed to forestall any plans to reduce opening or apply entrance fees. Very pleased to read it.👍️
Almost back to normal today. Food shopping at a deserted Tesco this morning then we nipped down the road to pick up MiLs new walker. She had a brief sortie around the close then she was taken to her Physio appointment. New mobile hairdresser due any minute.
Mrs WN and self out for a walk tomorrow.
A bit nippy in that wind but lovely out of it.

Yes there is, it forms part of the Museum of Rural Life, but, at least as far as we are concerned, has an excessively expensive entrance fee!😮

After a dullish start to the day it brighten up nicely and the temperature got to around 17C. Our lastest round of washing dried nicely outside who!s we were out, visiting a Common for Flyte's walk, then onto Castle Acre to see the castle and the priory, calling into view St Nicholas' Church, West Lexham on the way. Finished our journey by visiting All Saint's Church at Necton. Both churches are well worth a visit.
@RedKite had I known I would have search out the gravestones. Perhaps the next time we come you can remind me and I will look out for them, as we move on tomorrow.
