    It's 20 degrees where I am at the moment with a cool breeze which for me is comfortable.

    Its turned into the most beautiful evening here. Got washing blowing on the line, forecast rain didn't come so late doing washing.  21.2 in the shade, clear blue sky . Just finished watering tubs, going back out to potter in the garden for the first time
    this year at this time of day.

    IanH it has been very warm here in Essex but very grey when it hasn't rained. And we've had plenty of that, our garden is usually parched by now but its like a jungle out there.

    Milliehull great to here from you. Glad you're having a lovely time.  Can one describe a going down the mine as fun??? Being from down south I too found the whole experience fascinating but so glad it wouldn't have to be my employment! So glad it was warm
    enough to sit outsoutside the pub to est in the evening, must be warmer than here!

     Thank you e for your good wishes we don't leave til Wednesday arrive Friday ?

    Bakers, the volunteer guides  (who used to work there) made it fun for the children and gave them each a certificate at the end, but I agree I certainly would not have wanted to work down there. The complete darkness must have been terrible.

    Missed posting yesterday, so we are now on site on the Wirral. Today we went ot Cheshire Oaks for a bit of retail therapy for OH and managed a couple of walks with Flyte in the local Country Parks. Got back to the van to see the major part of today's stage
    of The Tour, and then went out on the bike myself this evening for 1.5 hrs along the Wirral Way.

    Looks as if we have a Nissen X-Trail rally on the site, as it's full (well 6 vans actually) and ours is the only vehicle that's not a Nissan 4x4!

    Have they started work on the housing yet?

    We go for a look each year, but up to last September it looked like a bleak, abandoned building site with a few cabins.

    Must be costing the developer a fortune. How can it still be viable?

    No change as far as I know, Ian. I don't go down there very often as it's such an eyesore.

    Just had a topsy turvy couple of days as we've had our 30+ year old hot water system(tank and all) replaced. Had to move all sorts of things so all radiators etc could be drained down. Gave us a good excuse to do some reorganising

    all done now, nice neat job, trouble is we've now got the heating on to test the system and check for airlocks. It's a bit warm

    a day later, test of new system had a hiccup, radiators getting really hot but no hot water. OH and plumber now chasing air round the system‼? Some very strange gurgling noises

    (Mrs Steve)

    Mrs S reporting again.

    One very hot OH and plumber but problem solved. Phew‼?(In more than on sense of the word) what you get for having an antiquated heating system. Now just have to wait and see if we get any leaks

    Late posting today as its been a lovely day here, the best we've had since we got back. Been busy in the garden all day (nothing new there) OH has been tinkering in his man cave, he's supposed to be sorting it out as he needs a new one (its starting to lean
    to one side and the roof is sagging) Lots of garden waste to take to the skip tommorrow (OH) once I've got back from picking Mum up. Got lots of washing done and dry, towels had a good blow on the line they smell great now. Even managed to find time to just
    sit in the garden, admiring all my hard work while having a cuppaWink  hope this means that summer has finally found its way here.

    Glad your having a good time with the family MH.

    Bakers" can't believe its almost time for you to go to NZ again, where has the time gone.Innocent

    Fabulous day yesterday,  weather was great after we woke up to rain. I am really liking Suffolk. Smile Wonderful walks and wildlife. Couldnt
    go into Minsmere as we had the dog and it was too warm to leave him in the car.  Walked the coastal path instead. Off to Southwold today.

    Write your comments here...That's very true, Bakers2. Many people head for Cornwall, Wales and the Lake District because of the mountains and lakes and forget about East Anglia but the East coast does have the advantage of being flatter countryside which
    is easier for camping and caravanning. No need for levelling blocks on flat land, for example. Yet the area seems to have lots to offer.

    No there has been no change , from what i have heard work maybe starting in the Autumn after holiday season but who knows ?

    Moving heavy furniture items back into position after having some work done. It is times like this when you feel age creeping up on you. I am sure the last time we moved these I was able to lift them, rather than just drag and push.

    First night of our current trip. Staying at a private site just outside Worcester. Very pleasant, grass pitches, not quite CC standard (Wink) but
    perfectly adequate for an overnight stop. Just back from a lovely walk through the hay meadows beside the Severn from Ombersley. Nice cuppa and blueberry muffin tucked away, off for a shower now (but they're cold). Early start tomorrow to arrive at Lady Margarets
    Park for 12:01! Happy

    Wow that seemed to pass quickly. Glad you had a lovely time with the family. At least no washing up for you tonight and as you've already packed up you can have as lie in and slow  start to being off by noon .  Then when you get home you can start putting
    things away washing and catching up with the garden.  I understand been warm and damp Peterborough way so there'll be plenty of growth
