The rain has stopped, looks like we won't get much more. Quite humid.

Off on a tour of this place tomorrow Cannington Gardens

Have been before but will be on a special guided tour followed by tea. There are some good hothouses there, if we do get rain we'll be sweltering in the tropics of Cannington. 

DANGER!

I WILL BE ON THE ROAD TOMORROW. Some 6 hrs. or so tugging my van.

Keep clear if you want to survive!

Hope its shining all day, particularly in the foreign country known as Wales. Will I be able to read the road signs?

Oh heck! haven't made it that far yet. Never mind meet with my Bro. tomorrow for a chat then try for foreign climes. Oops, forgot to bring my passport.

Nice to see club members took heed of my warning - everyone seemed to be going in the opposite direction.  Well done lads and lassies you are now all safe from my lunatic driving, for two days.

Today, because my SIL and daughter have purchased their first house I have taken a load of rubbish and cuttings to the tip with my daughter, Installed a rope ladder for my 2 grandkids in Bristol. Pressure washed a patio and path that I had removed all the dirt from between the slabs and cemented up again. Over the last 4 days I have sorted out a blocked rain down spout and got the blocked water to run away instead of pouring over the guttering! cleaned the dirt from a rather neglected guttering, soffit board and UPVC windows etc, Taken a shed down and converted it to kindling, cleared and levelled the area where it stood, taken another two huge loads to the local tip, refitted a curtain rail that was coming off the wall, and numerous other small jobs- and I thought I was retired! 😂😂😂

I'd rather be busy in retirement but still love the holidays. 

Bank Holiday Monday, pleased to be at home, will be on the M5 in the week but not today! 

"...will be on the M5 in the week..."

Are you heading somewhere nice? - otherwise Pointless!! 

I quake at the thoughts of the M5M4 today! We christened the intersection Death Alley years ago, and it is only a tad better now it has become a "managed motorway". Avoid anywhere near Bristol on BH and weekends at tea time!

We are just home from a nice trip in the van we were dreading coming home today in BH traffic but apart from a couple of slow moving parts the roads were fine even the M8 through Glasgow happy days lol

We have to use the M5 a lot to visit my Mum, she was disappointed that we didn't visit today but we just couldn't face it (or the alternative routes in central Bristol where the roads are often closed at peak holiday times for marathon runs, cycle events etc.) 

Our next trip away involves the south coast....wonder if we'll do any better on the A27?!
