We had a frost, a cousin was out at 5am and it was -3c so quite hard 😲😲. Beautiful clear blue and little breeze at 9.45am 9c too. Morning of household cooking and accounts I fear and garden pottering. Reflexology later this afternoon this afternoon 😃. Enjoy your day folks whatever you do.

That would appear to be a sensible assumption. Legal cover as an extra on the policy is in the £20+ region. Why for that price would they open up an unlimited legal bill for non related matters?? Let's face it legal assistance is dirt cheap at more than £100 per hour plus expenses 😂😭😂😃. I picked up a charges list in our dentist and they charge £200 an hour 😲😲😲😲 so actually I'd double what I guess at for legal...........

Interesting reading about gardens up and down country! Everything seems just so much further on this year, I have roses with large buds already, yet still have daffodils in full bloom as well. And dry.........what bit of rain we have had this week didn't even wet the ground. So water butts are on full alert. Hope the wisteria makes it, our local council had an over enthusiastic weed spray a few years ago and completely killed mine! I was less than amused as I had loved and cherished it for a good number of years!

It's been a good spring TDA but as you say some of us are lacking water. I think we're dry til the end of the month which isn't good for new plantings. Sad to lose a wisteria, our neighbour has one and we get some of the benefit as it rambles towards us.

On board the "Red Funnel" (which is up for sale--£250 mill') crossing back from the I.o.W just had the breakfast using my points.,heading to Portsmouth & Southdown Motorhomes ,for a couple of minor jobs i require doing,some of the LED's have failed on the headlights,& one has water ingress.All booked in ,so should'nt take long.Lovely sunny and warm day AGAIN,!! 3 -
The legal protection we sold with the motor policies at work , would only cover legal expenses with regard to a motor accident, for example personal injury claim or costs involved in recovery of expenses. So I would check carefully.

Lovely sunny day feels warm too in the sunshine, been to Aldi to top up the fridge and cupboards, having sons home for a few days means they have eaten all the food!
Met a fellow dog walker this morning with her new puppy, beautiful merle collie cross lab, a real cutie.
OH picked up second hand window he bought off eBay, it's to replace the window in the garage which is wooden and very rotten. So that will be a job for the weekend.
Safe trip Triky, hope repairs go well.

I think that is correct. One of my cars was damaged whilst it was parked but fortunately a witness took down details for me. The insurance company passed it on the the solicitors and they pursued the guilty party for damages. Trouble is I don't know whether that had any positive or negative effect on my future premiums although I don't recall a hike in prices the following year. I know some house insurance policies have legal protection that covers a wider remit. Perhaps if its a commercial policy Malcolm has it might cover loss of earnings but whether that would extend to tribunal issues I have no idea.

Well we didn't have a frost last night, quite mild in fact at 3c it was cloudy so that kept it away. Plants that got the new growth frosted the night before have all gone brown and shriveled, so will have to remove it at some stage before I go away.
All making and sewing items for the van done, think I'll just alter a couple of shirts that I like to take with me and then the sewing machine can go away again.
OH out at his Oldies lunch club (he helps out) then it will be into Perth with the M/H to give it a run and to fill up with fuel. I've already laid out most of the clothes that I want to take and if there is any space left in the lockers OH can throw in a T shirt or 2
That's him back from his club and he's carrying a bunch of carnations (he won them in the raffle) Oh well must go and do some more stuff.

Malcolm - you have, of course, checked with your insurers (or at least read the policy) to confirm that they will cover these legal costs?
And that your solicitor is happy with this arrangement?
Having checked again, it appears that, as others have said, most legal cover that comes with car insurance will only cover disputes relating to car accidents, other drivers etc.
Legal cover that comes with home insurance typically covers property disputes, employment disputes, tax disputes, motor prosecution, school admin disputes, personal injury claims, consumer disputes, problem neighbours etc. (depending on the policy).
It is also dependent on how long you've had the cover.

I spent most of today putting everything back in my M/H after its service ,before I put it all back I decidedly to weigh the items ,without me ,my wife and dog a total of 240kg ,so plenty of spare capacity
,its surprising what we think we need !

Saw Mrs Duck on the river this morning. Sadly she was down from 4 ducklings to three. Poor little thing only had one day of life. He or she spent it getting to know the area a bit and being taught by his mum how to feed. He also witnessed the harsh world of ducks during the mating season and his mum having to fight off numerous males.
How sad.....

WHOOOOPEEEE !!!! Happy Days Are Here Again !!
Started The Big Flush Through of m/h water tanks before the Scottish trip -- I'd forgotten just how long the Hot water heater takes to fill up
.Took it for a nice drive to "Slosh It Around", tried & failed to spend some money in Nantwich -- a lot of the smaller traders still Early Close on Wednesdays ! So another swirly drive home and there was the cause of my Joy & Delight ==> the envelope on the mat held all the documents, tickets & wrist bands for my 9 day Fun Time at the Great Dorset Steam Fair over August B/Holiday.
Its sitting on the shelf alongside my clock so I can look at it & cheer my self up if I ever feel a touch low
So tomorrow it's empty the tanks , refill & flush out. I'll do a drive & come back to see whats on the mat this time !!
Could be a Lottery win perhaps, or some unknown relatives have left Yours Truly a few Grand may be
Take Care, and have fun you lot

Post holiday washing and houshold jobs this morning, Cathedral welcoming this afternoon - very busy - followed by shopping in town and Aldi food shopping and then relax.......We watched Maigret on catch up this evening - very good. Our wisteria sems to have survived last night's frost but time will tell.
Glad you had such a good time on IoW Triky. Does the diet start now.
?Hope your son's move went well at the weekend Helen.
So sorry Mrs Duck has already lost one of her ducklings Ian. Life is so cruel sometimes.

I checked the policy and it looks like it's just legal protection insurance relating to car accidents.

Cloudy morning, took dog across the fields, everywhere is very dry.
Not at work until this afternoon so meeting up with a friend for coffee, cake and chat.
Millie, move went well,thanks, he is just waiting to hear if he will get all the deposit back.Glad the cathedral welcoming is going well. What sort of new awning did you buy in the end?

Helenandtrevor it seems quite a large part of the country is very dry for the time of year. But great for dog walking 😉. I'm sure your son will get his full deposit back - after all you all pitched in to clean it. 😂😂 But deposit returns can be tricky things, some landlords try it on too 😉. Enjoy your three c's ( coffee cake and chat).
Milliehull whatever will you do today? You did it all yesterday 😂
Malcolm time to look forward not backwards. New day new start ☺.
Off to fill the çake tins and stock fridge with homemade goodies. Son girlfriend and dog arrive tomorrow for wedding on Friday and weekend here. We're booked on for Monday to Friday at a new to us local CL so I need to ensure well have some to take. Better hide them up!! Hoping that the house cleaning fairies call today too.

Helen, We bought a Sunncamp Swift Deluxe lightweight awning from Towsure in the end. We didn't want a big heavy one. We have spread it out and it looks fine. If we find time we might have a couple of nights at Ferry Meadows to try it out.
Bakers2, Sadly I still have plenty to do - change our bedding and wash it (shall I put the lighter duvet on?), cleaning the house, gardening (lots!) and fetch the grandsons from school this afternoon. I hope you have a lovely weekend with son, girlfriend and dog and a lovely few days away next week.
