Out walking today as the forecast was for a dry day. Drove a few miles to just above Pooley Bridge and walked over to Arhtur's Pike, and back over Heughscar Hill. Great views down Ullswater to the Helvellyn range & across to Blencathra. Will wait till the
morning to see if we go walking again on the hiils or take the bus into Keswick.0 -
I heard it said that if you spend a whole day at the show, it would be the equivalent of walking 7 miles!

Write your comments here...Me too! I needed forty winks by the time I got back to the caravan. I feel a bit more recovered after that. Ready for tonight's show which starts in half an hour.

Our cat Charlie is now home thank goodness. Thin but looking much brighter and eating well. Just hope it lasts now he is off the medication. We are £350 poorer! Actually we didnt think that too bsd considering he has had 2 nights in vet hospital and lots
of tests, medication and v. good care.Glad those of you at the NEC are having a good time. Hope you find a van you like Helen. Just bear in mind where the dealer is based. We bought a motorhome at the Peterborough Motorhome Show some years ago from a dealer based on the Kent coast and had to
take it back twice for minor faults which was quite a trek for us.0 -

Glad to hear that Charlie is home and looking much brighter. Having one's pet home is well worth whatever it's taken to get them back from the vets.

I agree absolutely nellie. It is lovely to have him back with us. His sister is really pleased as well.

I'm still waiting to here from Chipping Sodbury Caravans about when the work can be completed on the aircon. I sent them an email about it yesterday but no reply.
Like you say Milliehull, it's best to buy from a local dealer. Each time we need work doing on our caravan, it involves a 150 mile trip there and another 150 miles back.

Think its dull and grey out this morning although I haven't opened the blinds to see!
Malc if your van is still under warranty you can get work done by a local brand dealer thats what we have done although the replacement floor will be done by the dealer we brought it from in Sussex.
Do you know that no one wants to repair a wood burner so instead of getting a small welding job costing a couple of hundred quid looks like its going to be a new stove!

Glad to see you are all still here !!
Had 36 hours B/Bandless and that, along with a stroll round N E C , { from and back to Carpark N5 !! } got me my days allocation of exercise if nothing else !!
Rather disappointed with Caravan Club Main Stand though -- no mention of C T yet again, and no sign of any CT-ers either sadly.
The best part was the Meeks giving their little chat & Q/A session.
Hope their children don't change 'cos they were brilliant { Altho' I know it was only the first day of the show ! }
Still managed to buy a few bits 'n bobs which I suppose will be dumped in the workshop { SHED !! } by the start of next week !
Hope you all enjoy what remains of this dry(ish) spell and build yourselves & your animamals ( sic ) up for the dark dreary days to come

P.S. To whomsoever it may concern --> The Snowdonia Cheese Company has it's usual Two Stands at the N E C again, and the price has not gone up, but I can't see the amount of goodies 'cos they are
still in their wax jacketsB

I've decided against going in the end. Carol needed to go out this morning so I had to dog sit, and I'm now going to sort out the caravan store cupboard to get rid of some of the rubbish that's been I there for years. Off out in the 'van on Sunday so need to start getting things ready.

Thanks Brian. Looks like I'll have to rely on the farm shop for my supply this time around.....

Wet and dull day here today. OH still dismantling bits from his shed, we've just done a skip run, he's now taking apart the metal racking he had in there. Think he is going to get some new wood racking later on when he does another skip run. Think I will
be needed again to help lift as he still has a shoulder and elbow problem, had his MRI scan on Monday but can't get back in to see the Prof until the 24th October (and that's going private)Booked service for gas boiler this morning only appointment they can give is to fall in with the 'year' is 23 Nov
that means we will have
to cut our Nov trip by 4 days, can't be helped it has to be serviced.Had a call from Mum's care home they are wanting us to agree to them moving Mum into the dementia care unit at the home. Knew it would happen at some stage but didn't think we had got there yet, seems Mum gets very upset and tries to 'escape' round about
late afternoon. It would appear from them that it takes a long time to settle her down again, so we are going in to have a chat and look around the unit, there are more careers in that unit so maybe she will be better catered for, they say that with dementia
if the sufferer can see the outside world ie doors they will keep trying to 'escape' but if they can't they settle better. Guess its not going to be an easy time over the next few weeks.

TG, hope you have a good chat with the care home and feel ok about the next step. It is good they have a special unit attached and have accommodaton available. At least you'll know your Mum will still be be able to use doors in the unit but not come to any
harm. I hope all goes well for you and the family.0 -

I do feel for you TG. I hope you can get your Mum settled soon. It sounds as though the home have a good understanding of the situation.

Tammygirl, Hope you get your Mum settled, it must be quite a difficult time for you. It sounds like the care home are looking after her well and thinking about her safety.

Back to normal today after busy day at the show yesterday. Giving more thought to the caravans we saw, not sure if we liked one enough to buy it.

Well maybe you've saved some money this year Helen! I must admit I'm always looking at vans but I prefer some of the older designs and vans that have had all their teething troubles sorted. We've just helped all three of our children out with various finances so I think I'll just be looking rather than buying.
