Well done, DD. Which route did you use? Time now to put your feet up with a large glass of your favourite tipple.

Nice day in Pembrokeshire. Drove over to Broad Haven for a walk along the Coastal path and then onto Nolton Haven for another. Flyte had a dip in the tide too.

Did you follow the Pyg track? You need to have the right equipment, compass etc. It's easy to get lost when in a fog due to low lying cloud.

We've got up to a rather dull, grey and wet morning this morning. It's raining as I type this. We're just having our first cup of tea.
We're next due our two days away from this site on 9th October. So we've booked two nights at the Cirencester CMC site from 9th to 11th. We've got the caravan booked in with Chipping Sodbury Caravans to have the fridge repaired on 11th October before heading back to this site. Day after 12th I'm due to return to work.
We plan to visit my cousin this afternoon to collect our mail and then go for a drive in the Shogun to WWT Arundel if the weather is ok by then.

I just checked the BBC weather forecast for Worthing. It looks like the rain will stop by the afternoon and just light cloud. So hopefully, it will be dry enough for our walk around WWT and maybe a trip, on the boat safari. We were lucky to spot a Kingfisher last time. My wife got a photo of it from her Iphone.
No newspaper to collect from reception this morning as we didn't order one.

Off to work shortly, only until lunchtime as we are off to the south coast for a few days,
It's been a busy week so looking forward to the break. Forecast not too good, but have downloaded a couple of ebooks just in case.
Baked aDorset Apple Cake to take with us, seeing as we will be in the edge of Dorset and I had lots of apples to use.Hope everyone enjoys the weekend.

Doing a bit of resting too BB but not in such salubrious surroundings !!
Evening meal on Wednesday disturbed by Smoke Alarm screeching its head off and would not reset
-- could not be my cooking, just two hard boiled eggs for my salad
so leapt up onto the chair & unplugged the offending item to remove the battery.Investigating later it shewed up as faulty but Replacement due in 2017 -- 10 year life now time expired.
Recovered lightweight steps from she who had borrowed them and removed the 2nd alarm on first floor which had an identical expiry date so off to B & Q hunting for Identical replacements. Found two so did not have to do a re-mount just clip the new ones into the original base plates. No further disturbances to my culinary / dietary procedures so just two bits to dispose of.
Have to admit to being surprised that the new ones came with batteries included -- Now there is a novelty
Another brew and Monthly accounts to do now so if you pass by and hear a sobbing noise you'll know why

Speakers turned up to listen to Chris Rea's new album - released and delivered today. And then I'll turn the sound down a bit for The Young 'uns "Strangers" - also in the post today.
Both wonderful and we get to see them live soon.
Those of you who read my posts may remember my mentioning tidying up of some important visitors last week. Well, here's a photo of the result.

Weather great here as well BB. We are also on a do nothing day having spent yesterday at the Puy-de-Dome. We drove there in the morning and spent the day, then drove just up the road to a site at Riom. Forecast is for 27c this afternoon
heading up to Tours tomorrow for the night. Ferry booked for Wednesday hoping to spend Monday and Tuesday looking around the Somme area OH wants to do some of the WWI sites. Turned out to be a good trip after the first 10 days or so of miserable weather. Will have to 'do' the places we missed another time, good excuse for another trip 
Enjoy the last of your time at Benicassim.0 -
Have safe trips home Tammygirl and BB. Glad you both found some good weather in the end. It has not been easy to find this year.

Great result Goldie, well done to all at the farm.
Don't know if you're interested but Runrig have announced that their final concert will be held in Stirling's City Park on 18 August 2018. The tickets sold out within 4 mins and can now be bought from touts at 20 time their face value. Disgusting!!

Congratulations on your farm result, Goldie! Enjoy your new album by Chris Rea.

We had a nice afternoon out. We used the Shogun for two reasons, firstly we needed to keep the battery charged and secondly, the ground around our pitch was soggy, so the need for the 4 wheel drive to get on and off.
We visited my cousin, collected our mail, amongst which was my wife's new provisional driving licence which she was delighted to receive. Now it's just a question of getting her booked in for some lessons with a driving school.
Next, we drove to WWT Arundel. Luckily, it stopped raining just as we arrived. We went on the boat safari. Normally the boat carries between 8 to 10 people but it was so quiet this time that we were the only 2 on it.
Next we walked on towards the Ramsar Hide. There were plenty of waders to see there. We st there for a while before walking further along to the Lapwing Hide. We didn't see any wildlife there but it did have some lovely views over the hills and plenty of Autumn colour in the trees.
Next we visited the Sandmartin Hide which was a bit more lively with waders. Then on to the Scrape Hide where there were just three Mallards. The path from the Scrape Hide to the Reedbed Hide was closed due to some maintenance work going on, so we had back track to the Visitor Centre to get to the other side.

We went past the Visitor Centre to reach the Discovery Hide which was much more lively as usual. Plenty of waders of all kinds there. Then on to the Woodland Hide where we saw Great Tits and Blue Tits on the feeders.
From there, we did the Reedbed Walk up to the Reedbed Hide where there were just three Mallards, two male and one female. After some time there, we walked back to the Visitor Centre to the car park for our journey home.
We had arrived at WWT at 14:15 and by the time we left, it was 17:15, just 15 minutes before closure.
It was a lovely afternoon out in plenty of Autumn colour and temperatures that were comfortable for walking around.

It's been raining again here and looks rather dull and gloomy outside our window whilst we're having our first cup of tea since getting up this morning.

The weather seems to be improving here. There are patches of blue sky appearing outside our caravan window. We collected our Saturday newspaper from reception this morning. There's enough reading in it to last for a whole weekend so didn't order the Sunday paper for tomorrow.
We found out that next years seasonal pitches can be booked from 8th November and that this time it can be done online.

Safely back last night from our holiday in Spain. I know some of you have been following my posts, but apart from them I've steered clear of other threads on CT. So imagine my delight looking in today for the first time in a fortnight - a thread complaining about dogs/owners, closed by Rowena, a thread complaining about Rowena closing threads, a thread about Sunday Departures, a thread about booking specific pitches, oh, and another thread complaining about dogs/owners.
It's like we've never been away!
Happy Days!
