B2, if I remember correctly Malcolm's seasonal pitch is on a no facilities site?
At least his wife will be able to wash and hose him down in their caravan shower!
Put big plastic bags secured with rubber bands over your plastered/bandaged bits when in the shower Malcolm, and hold them up so the water does not run inside anything......I speak from experience!
Good to hear that you have your 2 day absence sorted.
Rest those fingers too, it will let the rest of you heal more quickly.

And now it's MY Turn to savage the N H S
-- purely from a Client's viewpoint of course 
.Short drive into the Village, did a very little shopping but firstly a trip to Surgery to book 1) blood test
2) followup appointment with Specialist Nurse ( as if they aren't All Specialists now ! )**
3) then booked Review with Himself !!
4) Then round to Specthingummys to book a Retinopathy scan. -- expected to be at the back of the queue but no -- 2 o'clock Monday and, mark this, if I had not driven into town, it could have been done there & then !!
A Rubbish N H S, National Rubbish Service ??
Not where Brian A B M is concerned -- the best thing ever even better than sliced bread. And don't criticise 'em in my hearing either, retribution follows fast !!
** with the advances in medication, treatments, help groups etc etc at their finger tips they really do need to be Specialists in this age !

Today must be our turn for summer......great day with sun, blue sky and little fluffy clouds.
OH has been washing everything in sight, using our solar power.....towels from the bathroom, all our bedding, first lot of clothes we need with us too.....so only one or two small loads to do tomorrow.
Car all packed as far as possible today, van too. Tomorrow we will pack the clothes and food.
Some decent weather makes things so much easier!
Have tried to book a CL instead of Tewkesbury Club site, but no reply as yet to e mail, quite frustrating. If we are to cancel the Club site we need to do it before we arrive in Uttoxeter on Sunday, or we will get our knuckles rapped!

That's right, KjellNN and B2 it's a basic facility site, no toilet block. I've ordered some plastic bandage covers through product details given to me at the hospital called Limbo Waterproof Protectors. They will be delivered tomorrow. My cousin is looking out in the post for the delivery and said that as I can't drive, he'll bring them over to us at the club site in his car.
The surgery is going to contact the hospital to request details so that a medical certificate can be provided for work. The boss there was a little surprised about the 6 weeks absence needed but wished me a speedy recovery and said 'no worries!'

I just got a phone call from the surgery to say that they have had confirmation from Worthing Hospital of the 6 weeks required for recovery so that the doctor can complete the medical certificate for work.

Oh I typed too soon. Heavy shower sent us indoors. But cleared as quickly as it arrived 😃 and we're now sitting out enjoying the sun again, though not as warm as it was 😢 but still tshirts and shorts.
Malcolm be a nice change to be in a hotel.

Yes, there's 24 hour room service there! Also the room has an ensuite bathroom with a bath tub. So my wife has just gone to Tesco to buy some bubble bath soak! It will feel lovely to have a proper soak in a bath instead of the caravan shower! It's been a long time since I had that! Total price £230 for two nights for the two of us, with breakfast included.

Yes, they must have some kind of shift work system to cover it!

A very busy day today, so we never got to check the stock on our rented land till this evening. But it made for a good photo. And if you look over to the left edge, you might just be able to work out where it is.
So wave next time you drive by.

Kjell, Did you have a look at Cherry Tree Cottage at York? I think that the site would suit you.
If you're stuck for a CL near Tewksbury try The Willows, No.1717 in the site direcotry. It's less than 3 mls from Junct 1 on the M50 towards Worcester.

Yes, looked at the Willows, saw you had reviewed it Looks good.
Only 2 hardstandings so decided to try Herberts Field as they have 5 HSs, but if they do not reply by tomorrow we will look at the alternatives.
Just wish all CLs had e mail booking, and that they replied promptly!!

Well that's the Howgills in the background. The only reservoir I can think of with that view is Killington Lake.

I didn't think of that, maybe they do but now we've got our own in case they don't!

Beautiful picture and view Goldie, now that Nellie has solved the mystery I realise where it is. We'll be travelling past soon, always look forward to the M6 bit before Tebay and the hills. I see some of them are being re-forested so I expect that motorway view will change?

Beautiful view Goldie 😃. My favourite part of M6
Another glorious start to the day here on our CL. Breakfast outside and rather hot! My phone saying 30c in the full sun at 0947 😲😲. Torn between sitting in the sun and reading and walking to catch the train for a mooch about Sudbury. Oh heck were on a few days R&R and who knows how many more days will be like this?
Photos are just to prove I'm telling the truth 😉. Visit sunny Essex, very diverse county, driest county you know it makes sense!
Today's arrival has already arrived good job the motorhome left earlier 😉.
Enjoy your day folks.

Kjell, if your stay is a short one, if HS at the Willows are taken, then they can do a HS pitch in front of the house. They did this for us when we overnighted here a few years ago. Close to facilities, and quiet. It's a nice CL, lovely owners. Might be worth a phone call if nothing else turns up. Obviously if your stay is longer, then it might not suit.

I've lost the plot a bit about why Kj is looking at alternatives to Tewkesbury but there is also a nice commercial site, Tudor Farm, at Slimbridge with hardstandings, not cheap but another possibility as it's fairly close to the M5. Handy for for seeing all the wildfowl.

The motorhome is in for it's first cab service today, took it in for 8am this morning.
Not been on here for a while since the new website as they altered the way topics come up on the iPad which drives me nuts. It was so much easier to come here with the old website. Anyway, on my laptop today and it seems much easier to use
How is everyone, well I trust? All had a good summer? We got down to Bristol site the week in July that it was 30 degrees +, fantastic place!

The new website is driving quite a few of us nuts Hallsontour. Quite a few of the regulars seem to have disappeared. Nice to see you on here. Glad you enjoyed Bristol.
