The Pointless Page

Pointless going on "What are you up to" it's all M.M.!!.

Equally pointless liking your own posts tricky!

Another day of getting up to drizzle but it cleared up again on the drive to Neufchatel, arrived at 13.20 not bad going as we didn't use any toll roads. OH now sat with feet up watching the F1  we phoned ahead to reserve a pitch as it can get busy here, no need its fairly quiet.

 Brue, we tend to take it in turns for going away too. We get back on Thursday evening and my sister goes to Australia for 3 weeks on Saturday.

Sorry to hear  your OH was poorly while at Montlouis-sur-Loire WN, think we need to look for another site in that area, nice as it is the road noise is awful, i had earplugs in overnight so slept ok but OH didn't have a great night, he's a bit of a grump just now

Good run from York to the south Lakes this morning, now on a very spaacious and flat pitch at Meathop Fell.  Weather going rapidly downhill, quite a bit of rain and wind now getting up, going to be windy here tonight I believe.

Wifi not too bad as the site is not that busy.

I have always fancied going to Dunwich Wherenext.  It sounds a fascinating place.

In all honesty Millie there is not a lot to the place but on a sunny day the views northwards to Southwold and Walberswick are lovely as is the view over the reedbeds nearby. The small village though used to be a major port, second only to London, at one time so the museum tells a very interesting story. There is also an excellent Fish and Chip "Tearoom", an excellent pub and the remains of an old abbey.  The walk over from the Coastguard Cottages that belong to the N.T. is over the heath and at this time of year is full of the lovely colours of the Gorse and Heather

Very fine (but persistent and wet) rain here today. Not a day for stirring out unless you have to. Luckily my farming is limited to the indoor stuff.

We had a drive out earlier to Lancaster - to recce a new-to-us venue and nearby car park.

Now the wood burner is lit and a chicken dinner in the oven, while I ignore the work going on outside and continue reading "Enigma" by Robert Harris.

Pointless doing anything else.

Helps to get it noticed though !!.

Finally after 50 years of living in Norfolk we've visited Sandringham House on our fourth attempt.  First attempt got rear ended in Norwich, second attempt hit a Pheasant and smashed a headlight, third attempt MIL taken ill.  Today was perfect and enjoyed the visit.  BTW Her Majesty makes perfect fruit scones

Oh dear you really have been unlucky with the weather this time Kj 

Just to cheer you up its been raining in most of France for the last couple of days too. Supposed  to be nice Tuesday  and Wednesday here, hope so as OH wants to 'do' some of the WWI sites. Tomorrow  is hopefully dry if not sunny, might get the bikes off and go along the cycle path towards Dieppe. Ferry on Wednesday overnight to Hull.

Yes, weather has been very mixed, hopefully things can only improve here.

Hardly seems any time at all since you two went away, hope you have a smooth crossing and safe journey home.
