What to do todasuggestion Whatarea's of blue skies and white clouds, some grey ones too but nothing like the heavy skies of the last few days. Forecast is for thunder storms, they didn't happen yesterday so hoping they won't today. Think we will try another
cycle ride if possible.Thanks Bakers2 for the good wishes, from what we see on the news uk have not been having it great either.
We will be looking for a site for a couple of nights between visiting our sons. Somewhere between Tidworth and Penistone, thinking of Rutland water, all suggestions well
i can recommend Top Lodge aka Stamford, one of our favourites, but no toilet block, Graffam Water is good too. We also used a good CL not far from Graffham Water that had a shower and toilet.
.Thanks for that, any idea what the ground is like there i see they only have 30 h/s 50% of the site, If we have to go on grass i dont mind as long as its firm. Hope you got home ok and not too wet, bit of a mixed day here but i have managed to get some
wasing dry and we have been out twice on the bikes.0 -
Tammygirl, the ground at Top Lodge drains pretty well, we will be there on the 24th so can report back if that's any good? Can't comment on the grass pitches at Graffham as we went in the Autumn and they had been closed off.
Got home without getting too wet.

Got to look forward to putting the garden straight when we get back just bit the bullet and taken down 9 overgrown conifers, did'nt realise how much room they had taken over. its now light in the house again
28 years back, when the houses in our street were first built, our neighbour planted about 20 Leylandii right up to our boundary. Over the years they became very large and gradually blocked a lot of light from our kitchen window.
Quite how much light they blocked we had not realised until they had about half of them taken down. The difference was amazing!

The wardens at Top Lodge are great Tammygirl, they are very helpful. 0 -
Thanks for your kind comments, we've just had a lovely long break, mostly in the Lakes were we sweltered at 30c, Mr Brue was forced to don shorts...otherwise he'd have expired! And now we're back in the rain. The garden, which will be open for the village charity event soon, has taken on an over luxuriant tropical apearance that will need a lot of sorting!

No need to apologise, Brue. The whole issue is best ignored from now on and it's good to see so many people have found the will to use their inbuilt ignore button. It's quite simple to activate.

Should I ignore as well?0 -
I can't help myself now from wondering now, what it was that Malcolm said to someone that so upset Tinners......sorry!
Write your comments here...I can't help wondering that myself, Ian. It seems to be one of the many mysteries of forum etiquette!

Glad you got the good weather in the Lakes brue. Nowhere better in the good weather.
Good luck with openng your garden for chairty. We love looking round the 'open gardens' in our area getting ideas and generally enjoying other peoples gardens. Will you be providing teas as well?0 -

We could all have had a 'meet up' if the timings had been different. We shall be in N.Yorkshire when Helen and Mr H&T are at Top Lodge so won't be in the area and you will just miss them - what a shame.

After my afternoon nap, I got a call from the boss to come into the office to do the paperwork. We used the car park next to the offices at Liverpool Gardens to park the car. The boss said that from now onwards the office work will be done in the daytime
rather than late at night after the deliveries are over. A much better arrangement as it means we can get home earlier.0 -

Yes, it's a shame, we were nearly all in the same place at the same time.
Better luck next time. 0 -
Five deliveries done today. Three of them were to the same address. They said they didn't want to cook because of the football so were having home delivery for lunch and evening meal.
Macdonalds closed at 6 p.m. today and the KFC in Broadwater are closed for two days so there were huge queues at the town centre KFC.
Another hour to go before we finish work.

Malcolm.......please think about what you are writing. People clearly don't want to hear all the minutia of your day at work on an hour by hour / minute by minute basis.
Please consider just doing one or two posts a day for a while, just summarising your day.

Sell, re van weights, ours is not much heavier than your so hopefully we'll attain similar fuel consumption as yourself.
Write your comments here...Guess it will be a little bit less as you have gone for the auto.
We will find out in due course. How much milage did you put in before towing for the first time with the D4?

Well, I did tell Mrs M I'd take the week off but I'm sure you'll all be glad to know we've arrived safe and sound in Slovenia ..... and it's pouring down!
Still, the good news is there's a free "serve yourself" bar and we'll both be able to enjoy watching the football tomorrow after our first day's walking!

TinWheeler,
Further to our comments elsewhere about localised weather, it's just been reported on BBC local TV News in the North West that flooding is possible in any parts of the River Weaver Catchment area, inc Crewe, Nantwich,
Frodsham etc etc. and apparently some shops in the Cheshiire Oaks Retail area have had roofs collapse under weight of water !!Think Its agonna be waders & wellies with the old knitted swimming cozzy tonight !
Frightening thought but a worse sight !!
OH has just gone into shock!!
Where will she get her retail therapy now. She's just hoping that it's not the clothes shops that
are affected. We are just planning to be down that way in early July, so perhaps by then all will be fixed.JayEss assures us (!!) its The Coliseum including Debenhams or some such place not the Cheshire Oaks but where ever it was its still soggy Cheshire at present !
Well that's a relief, as she doen't normally bother with those shops.
Just hope that the CL we booked tonight is not too wet.0 -
If it's any consolation, M, it's pouring here as well. Have a good time. The bar sounds useful.

Thanks millie I'll look at Stamford, it's only for the Wednesday and Thursday nights, need somewhere quiet between visits to grandchildren to recuperate
Well worth a visit, TG. Nice and quiet midweek when we were there last month.

We walked up to Snowshill, then across past the lavender fields and on to Broadway Tower. Some drizzly rain on the way.
We went to the cafe there and had a cream tea. While there, the heavens opened.
We hung about until it eased and then walked down the hill back to Broadway. By the time we got back the sun was out again.

The visit to the dentist didn't happen. Arrived on time only to be ask "Why are you here your appointmant's been postponed and we texted you"
Seems
the compressor had broken down so I've to go on Friday now. However it gave me time to visit the bank before leaving town.Managed to book our first site for our next trip this evening and waiting for a reponse from an e-mail about the next one.

Brue I'm dreading the state my garden will be in, they have had rain and sun so everything will have gone mad
I like the idea of opening your garden for charity, hope all goes well.Our garden was a jungle when we got home, and so far we've filled one brown bin and started on the second!!
Heavy rain, after a warm sunny day, put a stop to the weeding. Can feel the stiffness developing in my neck.0 -

I have to ask, Nellie......what do they use the compressor for?
To drive the jack-hammer?
