    Just finished the KFC delivery only to get another KFC order. So we're now at the Broadwater KFC. We're getting the orders done quicker because they have less customers. This means less time spent queueing.  I think the colder and darker evenings are convincing
    people that it's more comfortable to stay at home and have their takeaways delivered to them than venture out themselves, particularly when they're tired after a day at work!

    Our 21 nights here at Northbrook Farm end on 2nd November, so we've booked to stay two nights at Littlehampton Caravan Site and then back here at Northbrook Farm for the last three nights of our seasonal pitch before it closes on 7th November. Then back
    to Littlehampton Club site for 2 nights before heading off to Derbyshire.

     

    Does this mean that you've given up on that camping out idea then Malcolm? I do hope so!

    Where you off to in Derbyshire? Are you giving up your fast food employment? Another sound idea!

    Best of luck, TG, having been there ourselves a few years ago.

    Spent a lovely morning on a nature reserve just wandering and letting the stresses of life seep out. Feel quite chilled now. Mrs.WN and myself were talking about next years ventures and feel that we will be giving the UK our full attention. So the coming
    months will be spent whittling the scenarios down.

    How are others planning to spend next year? New adventures or comforting returns?

    Write your comments here..

    think we will be staying in the UK next year we arethinking of Kent next summer as we have never really explored that area before

    My suggestion would be stick to tbe middle and north coast bits.......the south coast is less than attractive.

    Well the wife has decided that as we have not used the caravan as much as we would have liked over the last two years it is time to sell up, i am of course resisting, we shall see what happens.

    Many thanks for all your good wishes regarding Mum. Smile

    Been busy in the garden today and helped OH finish off the M/H and car washing. Totally shattered now so having a 'chippy' tea don't often do it but needs must Laughing

    Where are we going next year Undecided some comfort visits in the sun Cool and
    some visits to pastures new, might give Austria/Italy/Croatia a look in the Spring been a very long time since we've been there. Autumn will hopefully be France then Spain until December.

    Phew! that was a quick yearSurprised

    sounds great....we met up with some pals from our first Spain trip and they want to go with us to Italy/Croatia and even on to Poland in the early Spring......oh, and France and then Spain in late summer, early winter......

    certainly missing the 'life away' at the moment, but the time spent with daughter, SIL and new g-daughter has been great.

    ...and the weather's been wonderful, to boot.....

    all off together (incl son & partner) to Centre Parcs in a week (or so's) time for Halloween and my (spooky) birthday....Laughing

    Ooooh! does that mean we might bump into you and Mrs BB again. 

    Have a good time at Centre parks, which one are you going to.

     my (spooky) birthday.  so will it be tricks or treats Wink

    I've booked to go on the National at Sandringham. I posted the booking form yesterday. 

    Today I'll be taking my wife to her dental appointment at the London dental hospital. It's in the congestion charge zone, so I just paid the charge of £11.50 online and got the receipt by email as well as text message. I just hope there's parking available
    at Guy's Hospital!

    MM There is an NCP car park at Guy's hospital which is pre bookable.Day rates are around £6.00 an hour.

     

    Incidentially,where did you find the National booking form. I did not think the booking opened until the end of October.

    We've got thick fog down our way BB, haven't seen it like this for a long time. Out last night it felt chilly walking home, very Autumnal. Hope you enjoy Centre Parcs and your birthday.

    Nothing planned for next year yet except a couple of early trips to Baltic Wharf and further north. New Year at Dulverton if nothing goes wrong!

    We've also had a thick mist this morning, brue, but the sun's just breaking through now and it looks like a brilliant Autumn day. Just in from walking the dogs, have a game of bowls planned this morning but then I think a trip over to one of the villages
    for a longer walk is on the cards this afternoon.

    Evening out with old work colleagues tonight - nice to meet up to find what everyone's been up to recently.

    Happy. Use left and right arrows to navigate.

    Travelled back from Cornwall yesterday and a choir practice last night.  Feeling tired today but off out in a moment to do my round of Friday practices.  It'll be a couple of weeks before we get out in the van again.  Probably just up to Leek next time -
    Blackshaw Moor.

    Listenig to a new CD that arrived this morning. "You Want it Darker" by Leonard Cohen, Loving it! Though I may have to listen to it on my own - I admit some songs are very dark. I've been a fan for nearly 50 years, having copied Suzanne onto a reel-to-reel
    tape in 1967. I've just checked - I seem to have 27 albums

    We've got our youngest grandson staying over this weekend. He was supposed to be going off in the van with his parents but the lure of "Nerf Wars" at his karate club and going with me to football tomorrow afternoon was too great.

    We've been out in the autumn mists, which have just about cleared. Had a morning at NT Montacute House after some DIY shopping for daughters new home. Usually just have a coffee and a stroll around the gardens but went in the house for a change, hardly anyone
    there except for a group of Swedish Fruit Growers on a guided tour....I think they'll be sampling some local cider later, their bus had brought them from Herefordshire! I would have enjoyed being able to get close up to the paintings except I'd left my glasses
    at home...Frown Wink
