Waved goodbye to Nellie and Mrs NTH this morning. It was grand seeing them again.
Took ourselves off to Chevin CP, sitting above the town of Otley, for a stroll and to admire the views across towards Simons Seat above Bolton Abbey and Almscliffe Crag near to our CL. Wonderful weather. Dropped into Otley for an hour afterwards then home for coffee before setting out again up the lanes to aforementioned Crag to take some photos that Mrs WN wants for tonal drawings. Saw a Barn Owl working the road verges further on towards the village of Stainburn. Lovely sunset. Can understand DKs comment about Spring but we are wise to the weathers ways!

Bakers2, Good to hear that your OH has his operation planned for Wednesday. I hope his transfer went as planned today and that all goes well. I am sure it will be an anxious week for you both but he is in good hands. Hopefully you will soon have him back home with you and he can start his recovery. Good to know also that you had company over the weekend. It must have given you a lift to have your son and grand-dog with you for a few days and also that you felt well enough to get some household jobs done today. I will be thinking of you during this coming week, as I am sure will lots of others on here. Keep us posted when you can.

It was great to see you both again. Sounds as it you had a good day without us, shame!!
Easy drive up to CC's White Water Park site today. Only about 30 vans at the moment, and the surprising thing, having read lots of post about how popular Serviced Pitches are, is that none were occupied when we arrived and only 1 has a caravan on tonight!! Found out that there's a rally on site this weekend but we managed to select a pitch at the other end of the site from the pitches allocated to them.

Glad that you've managed to sort out your insurance, CY, and that your new loo's in place.
Best Wishes to B2 OH, JVB and not forgetting David DSB
Just has a very nice phone call confirming another CL booking. Owners are at present up at Braemar on a short trip to take in some skiing. Wonderful things these diverted calls are!!

For the avoidance of doubt, DD referred to No. 1 daughter not our resident Carthago champ. He, i imagine would prefer Artois to McCartney.

That's ok, it raised a smile.
Hope your daughter enjoys her birthday. 
Frosty start to the day here, OH left before 7am to go fishing, brrr.
Visiting dog arriving later in the day for a couple of overnight stays, daughter coming here for a meal tonight. Trying to use my indoor time to clear some things out. Took some stuff to the charity shop yesterday but defeated the object by buying some old wine glasses from the same shop!

‘Twas ever thus with charity shops brue!
I am off to do more wallpapering today, hopefully get it finished. We are doing it for Mum’s 90th birthday, brand new bedroom, but some of her lovely old furniture. All labelled up so she can find things. She’s chosen most of the things, was a fabulous painter and decorator in her more mobile years. Taught us all sorts of little tricks. Good to be sharing a little project with her.
MH has just rolled off drive for some new tyres, so will need a good wash and polish, inside given a polish and then all set to roll for our next trip. It’s been a lovely sunny day here so far, but cold at night. If it stays dry, I might cut our lawn tomorrow, then I can rake out a bit of moss and feed it.😁

Be careful with that Mowing & Raking, Puleeze, ttda
, out this morning to take Aged Sister to ASDA and was surprised to notice how many Daisy's are peppering the verge not enough to try covering six with my size 11, but it's a start ! Only SEVEN ( 7 ) Sleeps now until Club Day @ N.E.C. so I'll have to strip out the wallet & compile a list of "Things To Look at " { Stuff removed from the wallet will probably be replaced, temporarily, with tissues 
}It's now 17:40 and its clouding over but not been too bad a day for mid - February all things considered, hope you are all perking up as Spring approaches

A nice walk from Golden Acre car park in Bramhope through pleasant countryside.
Half way around we came across some horses in a farmers field. One of them had his rear foot caught up in the wire fencing. I couldn't see how to get into the field but the farm was only about 400 yards behind us so went and found the farmer who came to the rescue. What got me annoyed were the 8 walkers who we had seen walk past the horse, going in the same direction as us, who hadn't done anything to help the poor creature, and it was obvious that help was needed. We passed them about 15 minutes later as they were eating their sandwiches and I'm afraid I might have upset them a little. None wanted to argue their case though.
The weather was kind.

Feeling a bit like a mole this evening.....spent much of the day crawling around under the floor at DD's house, but we did make progress with the various cables.
So far we have found 4 access hatches to the foundations, one in full view in the utility room, one concealed under the kitchen island, one in the main bedroom when we lifted the carpet (which I have relocated to under the bed when putting down the new flooring), and one in Callum's room when the carpet was lifted.
DD and I went down there and working together we have drawn a plan of the walls under there, where there is access to from each hatch, and where the drains and water pipes run.
We also found various TV cables that have just been cut, so I plan to reinstate them, and several phone cables, some of which were damaged, so I have now managed to fix them up and get most of the phone sockets working. Still plenty to be done though.

Glad to hear that all's gone well, JVB. Take care of yourself over the next few weeks.
Good to hear you had a pleasant day out, WN, and well done getting help for the poor horse. Some people always think that it's some-one else's responsibility, and not theirs', when they see such problems.
Dull coolish day here after early frost last night. Drove over to Ormesby Hall, and the model railway layouts made the visit well worth going there. Can thoroughly recommend them to railway enthusiasts.

You must be please it didn't require anything more invasive than stents? How long before you can get back out in the caravan?

So pleased for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Do as you're told to ensure a speedy recovery 😉. My best wishes to you and you family. Are you home now? I know they don't let you hang about!
Left my OH he was off for another CT scan of his heart as I said goodbye. He's first on the list for the morning. Going to be a quadruple bypass, plus sorting dvt/blockage on right thigh. Fantastic staff.

So pleased all went well for you JVB. Brilliant news. Well done the NHS. How long is your recuperation period going to be?
I will be thinking of you and your OH tomorrow Bakers2. All the very best. Good to hear that the staff are brilliant. Hopefully you will be able to relax by this time tomorrow.
Well done for arranging for the horse to be rescued WN. Also well done for telling the walkers what you thought of them. Hopefully it gave them food for thought.

Well done to you WN. All too easily done, sometimes the wire gets caught between hoof and shoe and then they panic as they can’t take the weight for long on three legs. Hope it wasn’t lamed, there’s not much protection for tendons at back of a foot. I would probably have said my piece as well! Hope the car repair is imminent, you certainly haven’t let it spoil your stay.

That’s great news JVB, take the recovery steady now. Glad things are sorted for you.
All the best for tomorrow Bakers.
Kjell, do you fancy a holiday in Yorkshire, could do with your expertise?!😃

Glad to hear all is going well for you, JVB. BUT BUT BUT, take care on CT -- some threads really do cause passions to flourish & blood pressures to rise !! If I were you I'd stick to calm threads like "Early Arrivals" and Children & Dog themes
Hope B2's OH is proceeding down the "Find, Fix, Cure " route nice & steadily today

And me, good wishes to all.
Currently browsing looking for CLs in Dolgellau area of Wales, must be good for dogs (something for early/late walkies on site if possible). Nothing over £20 considered. Don’t mind if it is part of a larger site. Found two that sound ok so far, one has only grass pitches. None Club Sites considered. But no big commercial sites.

Yes I am thinking of bakers2 and her OH as well today.

I went for my annual MOT at the GP surgery this morning. Blood pressure high
so have to go back again after our holiday. I have just sat down and had a cup of tea and taken it again at home - perfectly normal.0 -
I'm afraid I am fully booked for the foreseeable future TTDA, a break in Yorkshire would have been nice!
TV aerial put up this morning, so I have been back under the floor to make a start on reconnecting all the cables.
Little Callum is on his second full morning at nursery, 07.30 till 13.00. He was apparently sobbing when Mummy left him this morning, but must have settled down as there has been no phone call to come and retrieve him. Mummy is probably more upset than he is!
Plenty to distract her though, she has been under the floor too, and before we got here she was busy emptying boxes. She still has about 25 to empty, some of them will be waiting a long time I think.
Next job after this is to try and get her study in order before she starts back at work on the 26th, but the screws for attaching the desk legs have gone AWOL, despite being carefully bagged up and labelled before the move. May have to get some new ones if they do not turn up soon.

Hope all is going OK for your OH, Bakers - it'll surely be a big weight off your mind when the op's over and done with.
TTDA - agree with Brue about the Tywyn area, nice old time seaside atmosphere around there. Visited a few times back when I was running for the Race The Train event - never did beat the bloomin' thing.
Here, suitcases are packed (correctly, so I'm told!) and Lady's been delivered to the dog hotel. Just waiting for the taxi now to get us to Heathrow for our flight to Sri Lanka. Had feared until very recently that we might have to cancel but everything's fallen into place now so we're looking forward to a fortnight away with no worries about Dad or brother.
