27.5 hours approx since I got my 65+ Anti Flu Jab and all seems to be OK excepting a pain in my right side. That is my own fault, of course, 'cos I really should not have had my three section wallet in that hip pocket - no real contents but that zip fastener does remind one of it's presence
.Well that's the Public Service Info disposed of so now it's just the mundane Sunday Stuff --
Woke to a beautiful sunrise, cold for the time of year but it's dry ( sorry Tammygirl
), and my recently refurbished bird table seems to be OK so I'll be checking with Mr Neighbour to see if its OK to start feeding the Tweets again and, if he's happy, I'll be ordering Seed for Wild Birds Various once more 
.Hope all you energetic peeps are getting your fun, and the Ailing Ones are as pain free as can be
, with improvements shewing by the hour.Have Fun y'all.

Definitely nippy this morning. Church heating system chose this morning to go on the blink. That on top of the Lych Gate needing urgent repairs makes one realise that whilst Twelfth Century churches look nice, they are high on maintenance.

We've come down to Cornwall for a week. Luckily the weather today has been a big improvement on yesterday! Had a day down at Godrevy, seal spotting - including one very cute and very young pure white cub down on the beach - and a walk along the coast path to Hell's Mouth. A brilliantly clear day, you could see along the coast all the way north to Trevose Head near Padstow.
Frances - your walk around the walls at York brought back memories, because it was on those very walls, some 40+ years ago that I popped a very important question to Mrs M (or Miss H as she was then!) They've got a lot to answer for!

I sympathise CY. We have been told that the Cathedral heating won't be working for some time yet as most of the gurney heaters need major work done. I think there will be a bulk buy of thermals by the congregation!!

Was it "Rovers are playing at York tomorrow. Do you fancy going?"

Nice easy drive to our new CL for the next few nights, at Alkborough (sounds better than Scunthorpe). Set up and had a lovely stretch of the legs down to the Flats. Saw over 100 beautiful Avocets. Just listening to the Pink Feet Geese flying back out to the marshes. Autumn is super.
A very nice cosy CL and friendly owners to boot.

Ah, a city we know well. Are you at RP or BG? We had a first ever stay at RP earlier this year, it was roasting! Too hot to either leave dogs in MH, or drag them round with us, so apart from the evening event we had booked, our reason for going, we did a few things apart. OH walked the walls, I opted for a River Cruise. Hadn't done that since I was a child. I really enjoyed it, good commentary. My Dad was born in York, we visited regular as children. Railway Museum is fantastic, and free!
WN, enjoy Alkborough. The farm was heaving with newborn calves last time we were there, gorgeous little things. If you haven't been, Thornton Abbey Gatehouse (EH) is interesting, good place for a picnic.

Oddly enough, although that wasn't the question on that occasion, she did come with me to Bootham Crescent (do they still play there?) to see Rovers. It was her first football match - Rovers had 2 players sent off and it ended 0-0. I seem to have spent the past 40 odd years making up for that!

They're still at Bootham Crescent but no longer in big leagues! Consigned to Vanarama Northern League!
Rovers are a cut above nowadays!

Knew you'd like it, WN.

Yes brue the Museum of the Moon is hanging from the central tower inside the Cathedral. It is huge and very impressive. I shall try to take some photos early on Tuesday morning.

After yesterday's rain today we had a fine sunny day. Went on a circular walk on Bodmin Moor taking in Showery Tor, Rough Tor and Louden Hill. Then drove to Crowdy Res. for a further short walk. That was enough as my back still hurts following my tumble last week.

After a very wet Saturday we had a beautiful sunny day yesterday, although a very cold start. It soon warmed up and we had a very productive afternoon in the garden. The patio is now all clean and tidy with tender plants now in the greenhouse or conservatory Pots with annuals in were emptied and spring bulbs planted in them. Patio brushed and cleaned. All ship shape now for winter. We have had the most marvellous summer here and autumn is pretty good too with 23/24 degrees forecast here for Wednesday.
Grandson is delighted with his guinea pigs and yes, Bakers2, I too hope he is ready for the responsibility of looking after them. We shall see.....
Take care of your back nth. Glad your trip is going well.

We have had a lovely day today. We drove up to Thornton Le Dale which is a village we always visit when we are in the area i like a walk around the classic car garage that is there and visit the car musuem well worth the £2 enterance fee. We then took a drive to Pickering for a walk around and had a nice pint in one of the local pubs. We picked up some sausage rolls from one of the local bakers so thats what we are having for dinner tonight. Glad I have brought some books with me as SWMBO had informed me that Corrie and Emmerdale are on tonight.

Took a pal and his partner down the Brighton Rd in my V90 today to collect his newly purchased " Swift Kon-Tikki" On a 16 plate,tag axle,only 5000 miles on the clock,Fiat engine/auto.They seem to like it well enough ,but for me ,the light and plasticky internals design is not my taste ,too modern i feel.But then again so are the interiors of newer "Concorde's and "Morello's !! Each to their own i suppose .Maybe the Cherry veneer,Maple interior of my " Concorde" look's dated to some people ?? But i like the quality of real wood etc .

We lived in Bury when we got married and I started going with a friend to Gigg Lane. Mrs WN decided to accompany us one day. We were about 15 minutes into the game when the Bury left back broke his leg in a tackle about 20 yards from where we were stood. The sound echoed around the near empty ground. I told her it was just one of those unfortunate things and I had only ever seen 1 other broken leg in all the years of watching.
So a fortnight later we all went again. 20 minutes in, the new replacement left back breaks his leg.
Bury FC paid her to stay away. They couldn't afford losing any more left backs!Both games ended 0-0!

Looks like you had a very busy and productive day yesterday, Millie, well done.
We're now into our 4th week of this trip and have been very lucky with the weather, considering the time of year. After early drizzle we had a pleasant walk around Boscastle, up to the Coast guard lookout station on Willapark headland and to Penally Point. Then visited Hardy's church at Hennett before another walk above the coastal path towards Crackington Haven.

Glad the trip is going well, Nellie.
Had a day out at Far Ings reserve today. Great day. Saw a Sparrowhawk catch something, 2 Kingfishers, Bearded Tits, a Yellow Browed Warbler and a flying Bittern. It was a lovely but breezy day. Went for a stroll after lunch eastwards along the banks of the Humber.
Off to Burton Constable, as opposed to Constable Burton (also in Yorkshire, the cussed lot.
), tomorrow. Mrs WN taking her painting stuff so it looks like a long day. Must remember to take a book to read. Strangely and coincidentally the book I've brought concerns the War of the Roses. Have to find some brown paper to cover it in.1 -
Misty damp start this morning for our drive up to Thegra in the Dordogne. Weather cleared on the drive up and we arrived to sunshine
The site is getting prepared for closure, madam in clearing out the glamping tents and mobiles while monsieur is driving round on his grass cutter collecting all the leaves.
The site has lots of Walnut trees so we have picked a good bag full
not had fresh walnuts before, will keep the majority to dry out for later. Anyone any tips of how to store them.Off to Rocamador and Padirac tomorrow, supposed to be a nice day, hope so.

Don't know about storing them but we were at Perpetuum site near Domme last year. Site is full of walnut trees and Madame gave us a huge bagful of them when we left. Forgot about them until Christmas but they were fine, still in their brown paper bag. So maybe that's the answer. Domme worth a visit.
