What are you all up to today? - part 3

Arrived at Black Horse Farm yesterday lunch time in pouring rain, but weather soon improved.  Along to the very handy Lidl for some shopping, then did some washing after dinner so we have enough clothes to see us home!

Site in Luxembourg was pretty wet, but weather not too bad while we were there.  Tanked up with cheap diesel there, only about 75p per litre.

Belgium was a bit dryer, found a good site near the coast for our last 2 nights, serviced pitch was only £1.20 per night extra. 

Filled our gas bottles in Belgium, so that should last us till next year!  Gas is only 32p per litre in Belgium.  We filled there when we arrived  (12.4  litres), not having filled since 2014, then in France where we paid about 65ppl, (13.3  litres), and  now 13.2  litres, so we have used the equivalent of about 12-13 kg on  the 2 month trip, frequently using gas for heating and HW.

Lovely day here today, so hopefully we will get the washing dry.  Off to Malvern Hills CC site tomorrow.

I wish I could get that price for diesel, KjellNN. We've been paying nearly 110 pence per litre here.

We had lunch in our caravan about an hour ago of Chilli Con Carne with boiled rice. We're at work at the moment, no orders so far, so the boss has asked us to give out flyers. So we're doing that in the housing estate opposite the Northbrook Farm CC site. It's better to work closer to the site so that we can easily nip back to our caravan for a cup of tea whenever we need a break.

Car going in tomorrow for the propshaft to be replaced.  Hope that will solve the noise problem we have.  Time is running short before our holiday.  Hope it will be solved in time.

Hope the car is all fixed now David. 

We went to Stratford on Avon last night to watch 'A Misummer Nights Dream'.

A bit slow to start with, but very good when it got going.

The lady playing Puck was very funny.

They have a different group of 'amateurs' performing the 'play within a play' for a few days at a time. Last night it was a group from Newcastle and they almost stole the show.

Excellent stuff 

 

Sounds wonderful,  should really get to the theatre more, especially as Stratford is only 40 minutes from us.

Did some baking this morning,  first cakes in the new oven, turned out ok, which was a relief. 

Found out the company I work for have been given a customer service award, by one of the customers we do work for. It's for excellent service and going "above and beyond " .  

We went to Hanbury Hall (NT) today. Been there several times and we did a house 'taster tour' again. Always nice to hear a different guide as they put a different slant on things.

The sun came out again while we were there and it was really pleasant. The gardens were looking great.

Nice to hear you are really "doing" the area Ian...have you been to the Rollright Stones yet?

Well done H&T's company, nice to be recognised by others.

I've had a busy day, mostly in the garden.

Ian, have you visited Upton House, another idea if you haven't. 

No, we haven't been there,  Brue......and we're running out of time
