Thanks Moulsey Next trip is end of August. Pleased with new van so far too. Been a bit chilly at times but loving the Alde heating.

We're at Globe Vale in Cornwall moving our youngest out of Halls at Falmouth Uni and into a 'student house' for year 2. Put the awning up today for a few days. Good day today for weather. At the supermarket buying food for tonight's BBQ.

Weather in Notts fairly nice today, although cloudy this morning now the sun is out and 19C. We went for a walk around Clumber Park lake. Observed three swans with cygnets. Presumably two males and a female, because a serious fight broke out between two of them. The other swan with the cygnets seemed to keep trying to intervene. However, as it did so the cygnets kept trying to follow, and it had to break off to keep them out of harms way. No serious damage seemed to be being caused, just a few feathers missing. We did not stop to see, but I assume eventually one would have become exhausted and given up.
At the other end of the lake a race for life was taking place. Some of the contestants seemed to be having a lovely time on the mud slide.

A weekend of two halves. We went to some old friends for supper last night - and stayed overnight! The first time for four months my husband has not got up at five o'clock to milk.
Back home by late morning. He went off in the Land Rover to check the stock on our outlying fields (four miles away) and had a puncture. So, much toing and froing with me going to fetch him home, find the spare and tools and take him back. But despite hefty agricultural heavy weight tools the nuts wouldn't budge. So it had to be a call to the AA. The first time I've used the App on my phone. Very impressed that they found us in a field off an unmarked road. Isn't GPS wonderful?
Fifty minutes later he's mobile again.
Note to self - always carry a mobile phone. It would have been a bit of a trek otherwise.
And the brief hint of summer this morning has vanished.Rapidly cooling and getting windier with rain imminent.

It's aircon for me at the moment! It was cool enough this morning but then the sun came out for a while and over-heated the awning. So now I'm cooling down before going to work.

Lovely warm sunny day today, strong winds but oh so nice to be able to get outside. Spent 7 hours in the garden, think I'm going to be stiff tomorrow.
BB I have to agree with you about sitting in an awning, to hot in summer to cold at any other time. When we had a caravan and it was hot we used to put up the main bit of the awning minus all the walls/doors, a bit like a giant canopy
why M can't take the sides out of his or roll them up/down I don't know.OH spent the day flushing the tanks out on the M/H, stripping and cleaning the toilet cassette (ugh) changing the crocodile clips on the portable solar panel to something easier and better (he says) and doing various other tasks on his 'list to do' van is now ready for the off again on Tuesday all being well, can't go Monday as his car is going in for service and MOT.
BB congrats to your Mum & Dad

It's nice and cool in the morning here BB because the sun rises on the other side of the caravan, so I'm feeling quite comfortable sitting in the awning at the moment. It's now 09:15 a.m. However, in the afternoon the sun comes on to the awning side of the caravan and that's when it gets too hot to sit in the awning.
So yes, I agree that ideally, it's best to move the chairs outside the awning in the afternoon but that means extra work of having to move furniture about at different times of the day. Also, I can't get the benefit of it for too long because my evenings are spent delivering pizzas!

My shift was supposed to have finished at 10 p.m. but because three more orders came in just as I was about to finish, I ended up working until 10:45 p.m. So it was 4 minutes to eleven p.m. by the time I got back to the site. That meant I was only just in time before the site barrier locks at 11 p.m.
The last delivery was a paid order, so the boss said there was no need to return to the shop, otherwise I would have missed the 11 p.m. deadline for getting the car back to my pitch. I'm back on today for 5 p.m. However, my shift ends at the much more reasonable time of 9 p.m. so an early night tonight!

We are just home from a nice weekend in Callander. We stayed at Gart Caravan Park which was lovely it is a private owned site just outside the town this was the first time we had stayed on it but we were very impressed. Yesterday I went a cycle in the morning and then we walked in to the town in the afternoon SWMBO went a walk round the shops while I had a drink in a lovely little pub. We are not away now for two weeks when we will be heading down to Devon for 2 and a half weeks cant wait now. Hope everyone else is having a nice weekend too

Had a walk around the Notts wildlife trust reserve Attenborough and very pleasant it was. No rarities visible, but plenty of folk enjoying the warm sunshine. A little later we will take a walk along an unnavigable stretch of the river Soar. Might luck in with a Kingfisher or two.

It's a lovely sunny afternoon here in Worthing. We had lunch at two o'clock.
I think any dieticians on here would approve of the menu of salmon, lettuce, basmati rice, celery, vermicelli, mushrooms, onion, tomato and bitter gourd that we had for lunch. It was also hot enough by then to activate the aircon.
After that, I had my afternoon nap. I woke up 15 minutes ago and I'm now having a cup of tea before getting ready for work.

My wife is just looking up the recipe for coq au vin for tonights meal. So that looks like another reasonably healthy option for when I get home from work tonight at about 21:30.
Sunset this evening at 21:17 so no having to search for addresses in the dark tonight. My entire shift will be in daylight, yippee! It will still be daylight for my journey home too! I'm hoping there'll be plenty of deliveries to do. Far better to drive in an air-conditioned car than to work in a hot kitchen with pizza ovens blasting out heat all the time!
Only 15 minutes left now before I leave, so just a little relaxation left. It looks lovely outside the window, the grass all freshly cut and lots of green trees.
