Back home after a few days exploring Christchurch and the new forest, just trying to sort out washing and catch up with things at home.

All the best, HD. Nice that you were able to explore the New Forest H&T. Also nice to see people posting on here again. Many of the posts that should have been on here were appearing on the pointless thread!

Scratting apples and pressing them for gallons of fresh apple juice. Much of it will be given away to neighbours, friends, family and acquaintances but some will be frozen in bottles or pasteurised to ensure a continuous supply through the year.

I wish I was your neighbour Merve! We share our surplus garden produce and plants as well!

We went shopping in Worthing town centre this morning and this afternoon went to visit a herbal medicine shop in Rustington. After that, we went to Tesco Extra to look for some new shoes. I found a pair, my size, that was reduced from £25 to £14. So I bought them along with some accessories and some non-prescription medicine from the pharmacy which was needed by my wife. Total expenditure £21 paid by Tesco debit card for double points, so 42 more points added. Now my points balance is over £17 worth of vouchers.

I hope all goes well for your Dad HD. Your Mum is going to find it very difficult but I am sure you are going to be there for them both. All the best to all of you.

Same from us too, Husky. Fingers crossed that all goes well with the recovery.

Now that it's October, we're a little bit more limited in places open to visit with HHA. However, WWT is open all year, so with winter approaching we may be visiting WWT more often and less to visit with NT and English Heritage. The more famous properties like Dover Castle are still open but it's a long journey to get to them.
The weather was awful when we got up this morning but seems to be clearing. There's now some blue sky and sunshine, so the possibility of a picnic lunch at WWT. My wife's busy preparing it as I type this. This should give the Shogun enough of a run to keep the battery charged. We're not sure whether by the time we get there, the picnic benches will be dry enough to sit on but if not, then there are plenty of Hides with dry seats to sit on!

Now, I've been playing on-line to get my first digital prescription sorted. What A B****y palaver
, can't even put the correct address of the pharmacy ( chemist ) in 'cos it contains too many characters so I've had to use A B M's shorthand. Now I'm hoping it arrives where and when I want it, or I'll be sitting on their doorstep with a begging bowl out 
.Had My blood taken for 6-monthly Diabetic check-up and have a memento on each arm as a result -- I think the Impaler had had a bad night, cos I've ended up with three ( 3 ) holes & bruises in my arms -- just hope they have sealed ok by Saturday 'cos that's when they give me my 'flu jab & I don't want it to leak straight out again do I ??!!??
Now I've typed away for 45 mins I'll go for my Afternoon nap
so bye for zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 0 -
We will be moving tomorrow to a CL just south of Cardiff, and hope to pay a visit to Tredeger House. Might just have a nosey peek into the caravan site.

Best day weather wise we've had for a while. Had a very pleasant walk at Rhosseli to Worms Head and along the coastal path. Then a successful evening booking more sites for the continuation of our present trip.

Spent some time this evening adding the start of 2 years worth of piccys into a couple of data-bases on my old computer, then I can start the building of a more modern set of D/bases on this ere new machine, so I'll be kept out of the rain and cold and snow that you lot of 12 month tourers will suffer. So can you put out a loud "OI YOU" some time near Easter please, just to remind me of the pleasantries to come !!
At least tonights grafting had taken my mind off the dental check-up to come tomorrow, dammit October is all Dental or medical appointments -- probably with a rollicking at each one as well.
Oh Joy, Oh Bliss, Oh B********* *********** **********.
So its a light supper and bed, Take care everybody & don't do anything I would(not) do

When we visited Tredegar House a couple of weeks ago it was still covered in scaffolding and poly sheeting although they were supposedly about to take it all down as the work is complete.

We had lunch in the caravan before venturing out to WWT. By that time the weather had cleared, the wind had dropped and it turned into a lovely sunny autumn afternoon.
The Shogun started all right, having not been used for 3 days, as we'd been using the Smart car. We went on the boat safari. There was a queue this time and as there were 7 others in the queue before we arrived, we were lucky to get on. Those that were behind us in the queue had to wait half an hour for the next boat.
After that, we spent some time in the Discovery Hide. We saw several flocks of geese and other waders flying over and landing on the water. Next we did the Reedbed Walk before returning to the Visitor Centre. We got back to our caravan just before sunset.

Today, we plan to visit High Beeches Woodland and Water Garden, Handcross which is about 40 minutes drive from here. There's a tea room and picnic area there. The tea room is open from 10 a.m. and the gardens from 1 p.m. We'll be taking a picnic lunch with us. We keep the food hot using a food flask.

-- dental check up this very morning -- All went very well, so well in fact we spent more time discussing electricity generation in power stations -- I'll convert him to Steam Traction Engines before I've finished -- he prefers the steam power quietly driving boats up & down the upper reaches of the Thames
