Visited our son in MK, he kindly offered to dog sit while we went to Ikea, was very good and didn't spend too much.
Nice lunch out sitting in the pub garden, "his treat" .
Have been trying to sort through all the holiday photos, transferred from the camera. Don't remember taking that many!
Posted a couple on the what have you seen thread, puffin and the swallow chicks.
Tammygirl Scotland does get some really lovely weather, we were on holiday there the year Andy Murray won his first Wimbledon, it was really hot, although not as hot as at Wimbledon.

Do you have to pay the extra charge for a second car?

The key word here is some,
we get the odd day here and there, rarely do we get weeks of sunny warm weather. As I said earlier folk come on holiday and have nice weather and think its like that all the time, its not.We've been back 2 weeks in that time we've had more wet days than dry, the temps have been at least 10 to 15 degrees lower than the south of England. The heating has been on (evenings)more days than not. Even when we have had dry sunny days its been very windy and this is high summer
I love Scotland but I am awfully glad we can afford to go abroad for long trips. 0 -
WhiskEy --
Tammygirl, really I am appalled -- I would not even THINK of that stuff and Scotland in the same room, never mind the same post !Now had you said something like Scapa, or Talisker or similar then that's OK, but whiskEy never never ever, I'd have my access routes blocked by some Border Reivers with claymores and pikes

No.

Is that a perk of being on a seasonal pitch? Normal charge is £2 for an extra car.

Another bright and sunny morning, feels a little fresher though. Dog walked, all washing pegged out, forecast says rain tomorrow.
Now its back to work.

Ah, I just knew there had to be some reason for it TG, but I'll forgive you this time
Now I'm off to the village for a little shopping, all in preparation for a few days at Refurbished Wharfedale, but it's raining & i hate having to duck & dive across car parks in the wet.

I wouldn't know about that. I suppose it depends on the site.

I had to work later yesterday evening because another order came in just before it was time for me to clock off. So I finished 20 minutes later which will also mean 20 minutes more pay, yippee!

I must say Malcolm I am seriously impressed. Running two cars, one of which you are currently paying instalments on, site fees, caravan maintenance and insurance plus of course food cloths etc all for under £11,500 a year. The current personal allowance.

Glad you've enjoyed your break! We're off on a boat trip this afternoon, see a bit more of the Exe. The circus has arrived next to the rally site. Lots going on but they are the other side of a big hedge. Will be good to see the big top going up. Looks like a human performing group, no animals. My sister taught circus children early in her career in teaching. She enjoyed meeting them all. Nice warm weather, enjoy your day folks.

Another lovely day here on Essex warm but not humid clouding over now - for the forecast storms? Doesn't feel like it sitting on the shade sewing 😉. Garden is despite for some rain 😢. Lovely weekend with son and we're now straight after our trip. Email received containing address and instructions for our next trip to Bristol Balloons, exciting, so will consider whether to break the journey down and back and where. Some enjoyable time with maps and site reviews 😆.
Just eating sandwich lunch whilst I catch up on here before going to mums via M&S. Nice to catch up on other's days, whatever you're doing enjoy.
A breeze is now blowing up and the clouds thicken as I type so who knows what the weather will bring! Must finish off seam and pack up to prepare for going out.

Got away earlier than planned for our few days away. Drive down to Middlesbrough uneventful but rained all the way. Warmer down here though even with the showers we are still getting, forecast to dry up by teatime.
Currently watching Wimbledon, Murray of course. Sun just made an appearance
Enjoy your boat trip Bruce.

We're back from our three day stay in Southport. Twelve (young) girls and eight husbands, celebrating 50 years of friendship. A wonderful time with wonderful company.
I haven't been back to Southport for over 40 years and found it much brasher and nosier. Or maybe that was just because it was a sunny weekend.
A friend made me a cake which went very well with the numerous bottles of Fizz (English Sparkling Wine) we put away. College scarf on top and twelve names round the sides.
It was an almost technology free weekend, as we left the vital bag of chargers etc at home. But you don't need technology to sit on the hotel terrace in the sun drinking cocktails.
The beach at Crosby was standing room only! (I struggled to get a photo without any humans)

After a visit to the dentist for a 10,000 meal service, I stopped off at Southdown Motorhomes for a drool over a Carthago 138. I'm beginning to go off it though as they would appear to discourage all but the most basic of catering with a piddling little fridge and a two burner hob. Fitting an oven, I was assured, would be more bother than it's worth due to the water pipes behind the drawers that would be replaced. The OH isn't too keen given its height as well.

No rain today but much cooler.
Spent lunch hour trying to sort out our holiday at the end of August, plans have changed that many times!
Almost all sorted when I went back to work, just needed a reply from the CL. Email received tonight so sites now booked! Something to look forward too.Goldie : glad you enjoyed your weekend, sounded wonderful, cake looks lovely.

It might not be so easy when my seasonal pitch comes to an end in November and I have to start paying site fees again. However, by that time, my hours of work and earnings may increase as there's usually more demand then.

This afternoon work rang me to ask if I could work this evening. I had to decline as we only have the Shogun here on site and also it would mean having to work a total of seven days without a break. Also we'll be moving back to Northbrook Farm tomorrow. So definitely need a rest today. Not the best of days to be moving with heavy rain forecast for tomorrow. Added to that, I'm due back at work tomorrow evening to do a longer shift of five hours from 5 to 10 p.m.
