What are you all up to today? - part 3

What to do todasuggestion Whatarea's of blue skies and white clouds, some grey ones too but nothing like the heavy skies of the last few days. Forecast is for thunder storms, they didn't happen yesterday so hoping they won't today. Think we will try another cycle ride if possible.

Thanks Bakers2 for the good wishes, from what we see on the news uk have not been having it great either.

We will be looking for a site for a couple of nights between visiting our sons. Somewhere between Tidworth and Penistone, thinking of Rutland water, all suggestions well

i can recommend Top Lodge aka Stamford, one of our favourites, but no toilet block, Graffam Water is good too. We also used a good CL not far from Graffham Water that had a shower and toilet.

.Thanks for that, any idea what the ground is like there i see they only have 30 h/s  50% of the site, If we have to go on grass i dont mind as long as its firm. Hope you got home ok and not too wet, bit of a mixed day here but i have managed to get some wasing dry and we have been out twice on the bikes.

Tammygirl,  the ground at Top Lodge drains pretty well, we will be there on the 24th so can report back if that's any good? Can't comment on the grass pitches at Graffham as we went in the Autumn and they had been closed off.

Got home without getting too wet.  Thankfully 

Got to look forward to putting the garden straight when we get back just bit the bullet and taken down 9 overgrown conifers, did'nt realise how much room they had taken over. its now light in the house again

28 years back, when the houses in our street were first built, our neighbour planted about 20 Leylandii right up to our boundary.  Over the years they became very large and gradually blocked a lot of light from our kitchen window.

Quite how much light they blocked we had not realised until they had about half of them taken down.  The difference was amazing!

I apologise to all the other posters on here, I don't want to disrupt your efforts and enjoyment in any way. It's nice to read your posts.

Hope all is well with you Brue, and you have enjoyed your trips. Do miss hearing all your news. 

Anyhow 15hrs to go to the off, its like a military operation

( except the co-ordination or planning!!

Joking aside looking forward to Going to Yellowcraig again i can see me and the dog now having an early morning swim

Hope you, and the dog have a good time.

Write your comments here...Thanks H&T but where ever we end up it will be for the 22&23rd so would just miss you think i might give the wardens a ring and see how the pitches are holding up with all the rain you folk have been having, have a nice time at Top Lodge. Glad you didnt get too wet

Shame our paths won't cross  The wardens at Top Lodge are great Tammygirl, they are very helpful. 

Thanks for your kind comments, we've just had a lovely long break, mostly in the Lakes were we sweltered at 30c, Mr Brue was forced to don shorts...otherwise he'd have expired! And now we're back in the rain. The garden, which will be open for the village charity event soon, has taken on an over luxuriant tropical apearance that will need a lot of sorting!

Brue I'm dreading the state my garden will be in, they have had rain and sun so everything will have gone mad I like the idea of opening your garden for charity, hope all goes well.
