Well it seems to be working now!
I forgot to mention yesterday that the Lakeland Hills had a covering of snow, and after last nights rain there was more on the Crossfell hills. It's rained on and off most of the day so we only managed a couple of shortish walks. Hope that it's better tomorrow
as we intend walking from Trelkeld to Kewsick along the old line. Don't mind the cold as we can wrap up warm but don't like walking in the rain.0 -

Blue sky and sunny here too, this morning. We've just had breakfast. I need to go the bank this morning and then it will be time to pack up and get ready for our departure. We need to be off before 12 noon.

Only 3 hours left to enjoy our seasonal pitch here in Worthing and then sadly
it's over for this season. I've applied for next year but don't know the result yet.0 -
Had a great evening last night. Son played a gig with his Irish Folk Group called Darragh Folk (he plays double bass) . As it was in their local pub 8 year old grand-daughter was asked to play her penny whistle with them for the first half hour or so. It
was great to see them playing together. I then nipped her back home to mummy and went back for the rest of the evening. An amazing (very Irish) night. Great fun.Very jealous of you Millie. I just love proper Irish Music. Has your son's group any of their music on line?

Sorry for the late response to your question nth. It has taken me quite a while to trawl back through everythng on this thread to find your post.
Yes
Darragh Folk do have some of their music online apparently either on myspace or bandmine. Also a few clips on youtube. They also made a few CDs but they are only available at their live gigs. This was all done a while ago though and doesn't inlcude our son
as he has only been with them for a year. It's difficult for them to find time to make CDs etc as they all have 'day jobs'.0 -
Hello again!!

Spent a lovely day yesterday with both our sons, proper family Sunday lunch!
Managed to get them to sort through all the stuff they left when they moved out, so today it's a trip to the charity shop with everything they didn't want to keep.

Similar to the music our daughter plays in a local band, we were listening to her play the fiddle and penny whistle yesterday. Nice to have musicians in the family Millie!

Yes I agree brue. It's great music and even more enjoyable when there is a family member playing.

We went down to see the invalid yesterday. Understanderbly he was sore and tired but getting better. Nice to see him again, first time since he went back to university , he's on the mend that's the main thing. Gave us all a bit of a scare last week though.

Went to Stratford today and bought an electric toothbrush for using in the caravan. Decadent or what!
Went to the Shakespeare visitor centre, New Place and Anne Hathaway's cottage.
Lovely sunny day, which probably made it feel warmer than it was.

Our last day in Cornwall for a month or so. Brilliant clear blue sky but very cold this morning. Everything packed away and all the cleaning done. Straightforward journey home. Bowls for me tonight and choir for Mrs M and, oh yes, dentist tomorrow morning
for me!

A foray to Toys R us for presents for the two gransdsons. If ever there was a store that winds me up..... Acres and acres of cheap plastic tat that will end up in the bin/car boot sale within a year.

Well that's us back home again after a week away, had planned to be away a bit longer but the weather for the next week doesn't look to be good on either coast in the North. We had an awful night on Friday at Old Hartley, the wind was very strong and the
gusts kept rocking the van, we had to get up twice during the night, once to re-secure the bike cover with more bungies and once for the screen cover, the wind was so bad it kept lifting the front and managed to undo the velcro that goes under the mirrors
which then flapped and started loosening the velcro on the front rain was horizontal and heavy. The Heki's were rattling as was
the blinds, all in all not a pleasant night, with very little sleep. After watching the weather on Saturday morning we decided not to linger on the East coast and headed over to Carlisle where we had the rest of a good day, Sunday was a bit duller with some
rain but at least we were not getting blown all over the place. Today was lovely but the site was closing for the season so we had a lovely drive back home and are now all un packed and tucked up nice and warm. Weather not looking to be great, we have a weather
warning for snow and the snow gates are already closed at Glen Shee and the Lecht. Hope all those who are out and about stay safe.0 -

I bet you are pleased to be hope safe and sound TG. There is nothing worse than high winds when away in the van. Hope you don't get too much snow.
