Well tonight is our last night on the one of the very best CLs that we've experienced, and we've used a few in our time!! Thanks Dean & Sharon for a really pleasant stay, it's just a pity that you couldn't organise better weather.
So it's goodbye to Woody Kiln Farm....we will be back! 1 -
We've got up to another grey and wet morning and it looks set to rain on and off all day today. The ground is very soggy outside with lots of muddy patches from vehicles trying to move and getting stuck.
We've just finished breakfast and watched the news on Sky News sunrise. No plans to go out anywhere today. I've still got plenty to read from yesterdays newspaper.

Overcast here in North Norfolk although there is weak sun trying to break through. Wind has moderated although there is an occasional gust.
Sat in van watching geese flying by and a red kite looking for breakfast. Off to Cley this morning to see what's about and to sample their cakes.

A brisk wind up here, but nice and sunny! Shopping beckons for me.....bargains and a few treats hopefully. Then possibly an hour in garden, bit of clearing and Winter prep. Enjoy your day, and keep safe everyone!

Grey, windy & threatening in South Cheshire This morning, but I managed to get the final ( for this week !! ) bit of tittivation done on the workshop ( Shed ) to try & get it thro the winter without tooooo much rot or water ingress. Now I've got to try reaching one of my lucky mates who has flown to Spain, yesterday I am lead to believe for a birthday celebration. I teased him about flying with Ryanair, "No blooming fear", he said, "We're flying with MONARCH"
Better the devil you know as the saying goes WOT ?!?!?
Nearly choked on my porage when I heard the news, so very glad Old Brian stays ere in GB

Yes ABM. There will be a lot of very unhappy and angry people around what with Ryan Air cancelling flights and now Monarch going bust. Worrying times.

Half term is the last week of the month for most schools ABM and I expect quite a few people will have booked already so a big disappointment and possibly a loss of quite a lot of money as well. We have booked flights to see our family in N.Ireland but luckily with neither of those airlines. Fingers crossed.

OH wants to take middle daughter to see a friend of ours in Germany, only half term is available for our daughter and I'm wondering just how difficult or expensive it's going to be even if they find a flight. He says he will hire a car the other end, last time our friend met us he drove us at 120mph on the autobahn in the dark and rain.....

Feeling really sorry for those booked with Ryanair and Monarch. That extends to those who've lost their jobs with Monarch.
Milliehull fingers crossed for your flights.
Brue I'm sure you can get to Germany, for a price. I think hiring a vehicle is extremely sensible 😲.
I was alarmed to read of engine falling off of an Air France A380 - it's a plane we use for NZ trips, different airline. Here's hoping 😲. Our flight home has been changed, few extra hours with the family as a result and second half will be on the new A350.
Terrible events in Las Vegas is it sensible or safe to even leave your house?

The world seems a very turbulent place at the moment Bakers2.

So sorry to hear that MrRoute. I don't suppose you really feel like staying and celebrating after the terrible event of last night.

Perhaps I have a perverted view of this ol' world
BUTI'm wondering, over a cuppa of course, If B A L P A the pilots Union have started negotiating with Ryanair for short ( & expensive
) term contracts for them to take on the now jobless Monarch pilots, might help both sides as well as the passengers !1 -
Terrible thing to be around, MrR not helped by the quote on TV News from the N R A , I think, that the best way of avoiding such happenings is for even more of the population to have & carry weapons.
I just hope that the pleasures you recall from your lives together are sufficient to swamp the horrors of the last few hours.
Very Best Wishes,
Brian A B M

I actually wondered the same thing ABM. It might help a lot of people out - pilots and passengers.

Thanks for your kind thoughts virgin hols phoned to check we are OK and if we wanted to go home. We have been here many times and have many wonderful memories and friends, we have decided to stay. It would appear from local news that this was a lone nutter and not a terrorist attack. There are lots of police and security people around both inside and outside hotel

Yesterday my wife had an appointment at the surgery in the morning to get the results of he blood test. She was happy to be told that the results were good.
After that, we went to WWT Arundel to give the Shogun a run. It started ok so no problem with the battery. We went to the Discovey Hide first and then on to the boat safari. By that time it was 16:30 so we were just in time for the last boat. There was a bit of light rain whilst on the boat but not for long, just a passing shower.
Following the baot trip, wee had a walk around and stopped for a little while at the Reedbed Hide before returning to the Visitor Centre. We finally left at 17:20, ten minutes before closing.
We've got up to a nice bright, sunny morning this morning. There's not a single cloud in the sky as I type this.
