We're on a CL in Cornwall now, enjoying some local walks, we were admiring the crescent moon last night but somehow missed the Northern Lights yet again!

Not one of the "Edges", sorry tda, but you are correct about it being Haddon Hall, taken from the footpath up above the car park.
moulesy, I walked there from the C&CC site we were staying on, and it is a long way from Nottingham!!!😄

That looks rather like Bude to me.

Dry and clear this morning so the tow over Cat and Fiddle was a bit easier than last time we went that way as then visibility was down to a hundred metres of so. Now set up on our latest CL near Congleton for 7 nights. Lot of historic properties to visit and looking forward to meeting up with friends again.

It’s like living with a bit of history isn’t it WN😁 staggering to think of what things have happened, what changes and innovations have occurred.
DK, Mum has all sorts of Coronation China at home, other Royal events as well. I found a very faded Sheffield Star newspaper commemorative tea towel not so long ago of………Charles and Diana’s wedding🫣 I’m hoping she will be asleep when Camilla is crowned. Mum isn’t a fan of either of them.

Started to resupply the van ready for our long weekend in North Norfolk. Virgin came and fix our digital phone cables this afternoon. More research for caravan insurance, think caravan cover is now too expensive and doesn’t now provide the cover we want. Eye test tomorrow.
We have more important things to celebrate over the coronation weekend so won’t be watching or participating

Yes and we were lucky to get to the tower as it's being demolished brick by brick, starting this week and moved further inland due to coastal erosion.

We went to the Open University today to have our COVID booster jabs, I make that six now in total! The vaccination centre was not as busy as in the past, probably due to it not being available to a wider cohort currently, but still a steady stream of people.

Have noticed a few folk on here have had or got back problems, well I was outside finishing off some pruning of my shrubby Salvias and then felt a twinge and heyho sciatica nerve giving me trouble so tablets and tiger balm to rub on plus a few gentle exercises and a hot water bottle, getting a little bit better just could have done without it and we are off to have a meal with friends tomorrow and some shopping, got a few chores to do but they will have to wait for awhile OH has done a few more for me like defrosting our small chest freezer and that is all done.
Take care folks.

Hope you feel better soon RedKite. We've done some more walking around Bude today but the air is still a bit bracing and OH's balance problem struck and I was concerned he might topple into the canal. So we retired to a pub. We were sitting near the bar and the conversation behind the bar was all about Athlete's Foot, I can't personally recommend hearing this topic of conversation whilst eating!! But we had a nice meal and took our time walking back to the CL via the wildlife marshes. Have enjoyed our stay here.

Now on our last site of this trip , a CL, in splendid isolation. Last time we were here there were 3 or 4 outfits, even the adjacent small commercial site only has 7 out of the 30 pitches occupied.
I think this is the first time we have ever been alone on a site.
A better day for weather, sunny, no rain, but still a very chilly wind. Went to North Berwick for some shopping to keep us going till we go home on Friday, and fuel for the journey.
If it is nice tomorrow we may go over to Dunbar for a look around.

It’s been a lovely day here, warm in the sun, but a bit chilly out of it. We had a special chair delivered for Mum this morning, hopefully it will be a bit more comfortable and supportive for her, and it goes through doorways, so if she takes to it, and it’s a good day, we can get her around house a bit more. I got home early enough to enjoy an hour in greenhouse, potting up seedlings. Nasturtiums, Cosmos and hollyhocks, so hopefully plenty of colour. We are hoping to get to Lincoln for the day tomorrow, Cathedral and Castle top of list, we won’t bother dropping down the hill this time.

Just had an email invitation from the NHS but I am currently on tour on the Continent and won't be home for a while yet. Any idea when they will cease doing them at the OU? We tried getting them before we came away to no avail. We are currently in Croatia having travelled via Belgium and the Netherlands for our first stop over in Germany, followed by the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia.

I woke up with a stinking cold this morning. I am blaming it on the 'little dears' from the large school group that I helped with on Friday! Either that or it is a side effect of my spring booster covid jab that I had on Saturday.

I don't actually know but I would have thought they would go on for a month or two yet. The OU clinic is run by Rainbow Pharmacy so you could check their website. Alternatively you could do a dummy run here https://www.nhs.uk/book-a-coronavirus-vaccination/do-you-have-an-nhs-number?bookingtype=vaccine, you would need your NHS number.

PD I know from a friend of ours that a friend of hers who is a senior nurse on I.O.W. that she will be doing booster jabs in the Autumn this year.
Still got a aching back but managing to move around no bending though and we have got drizzle here at present but forecast for Friday 29C phew will wait and see.

The NHS site says the spring covid booster jabs are only for the over 75s, OH will be eligible but not me. The way this bout has taken us both down then I would like one - just not yet. Does anyone know if they will be rolled out for everyone later in the year or are they cutting it back. The chap next door caught it recently, he’s in his 40s, fit and healthy, and he was quite ill for a month. I am now almost recovered, just rather tired and strangely a little dizzy. OH is still very under the weather and coughing for England. So I do hope that the vaccination program will continue.
Managed a couple of hours in the garden yesterday. Lovely to hear all the birds singing. Bunting delivered yesterday so we still have our fingers crossed that we will be able to get away for the Coronation.

called in my local chemists yesterday who are doing covid jabs, they stated that it is only for 75 and over just now and that you should wait to be called, I am 76 not been called, or you can go online "NHS APP or ring 192" and book an appointment, at some stage it will be rolled out across the board, i was reliably informed.

Don't forget having recently had COVID you will have increased your immunity to protect you against COVID, probably the only good news about getting it!!!! It seems that rather than cutting back it's probably a case now of how effective giving relatively younger and healthier people a vaccine when in the majority of cases it's no worse than getting a cold. So it's likely they will concentrate on older and younger more vulnerable people who are more at risk of other problems developing? I suppose they might open it up to more people depending on take up?
Interesting that some of you have been contacted by your surgeries to get the vaccine. If we had relied on our surgery we wouldn't have even had the first one!!!

ABM I looked online for our nearest walk in centre and the only ones available were more than 50 miles away! Our local walk in centre closed before Christmas. So we went down the local chemist route. Our GP surgery are not doing them this time, although they have previously. When I went on their website there was a BIG notice saying don't contact them and giving the link to book online.
I still have this horrid cold. Have tested twice for covid and all clear.

OH hasn’t heard anything about his Covid booster, he’s 76, a few others around here have got appointments though. We won’t worry just yet as we’re away in Scotland and Northumberland for 10 days if we haven’t heard by our return we will chase it up. Hope you feel better soon Millie, my DIL had a bad cold and felt really rough recently, she tested herself and she WAS positive, the second time for her! Our grandson got it too but our son and granddaughter didn’t. Luck of the draw it seems.

I’ve had a number of emails and texts but ignoring them all. 3 jabs, 2 bouts of the Wuhan virus so I’m well covered. No flu jab last winter and no ill effects.
just back from taking brother shopping at Sainsbury's, all shelves full, plenty of veg and eggs then went to Aldi, no problems there either except no toilet fluid.
Had eye test, got cataracts, but not bad enough for referral yet.
Caravan prepared for this weekends trip to North Norfolk
