What are you all up to today? - part 3

Do  so  hope  you  are  looking  after  yourself,  Tricky  Triky  !  We,  none  of  us,  are  getting  any  younger  and  we  need  to  look  after  ourselves

Got the morning ferry from Caen, no problems, no migrants,  no blockade. Pleasant crossing, now with eldest son and family, had lots of hugs from gkids. Gkids now all tucked up in bed for the night, think we might be in for an early start in the morning

It's a rather grey and wet start to the morning this morning. We've just got up and are having our first cup of tea at the moment.

I feel sorry for anyone contemplating a channel crossing if the expected thunderstorms materialise. Could be a bit rough

It seems like Malcolm is slipping back into his old ways

is that slipping or sipping

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.

Well - car went in for propshaft yesterday.  No joy!  Still unacceptable noises coming from the car.  Next thing: Transfer box.  Managed to pick up a new transfer box yesterday for under a grand!!!  Expensive, but a bargain!  It goes in Friday for it to be fitted.  If this doesn't work, goodness knows what next!!  This is getting dangerously near our holiday!  At this stage, I'm beginning to wonder if we'll make it....

Oh dear David, fingers crossed for you all.

Hope TammyG is enjoying being "nearly back home" after all the travels and travails! Seems a long time since you set off from Scotland.

We've had a nice morning down on the coast in Dorset, decided to take a break from gardening and get some sea air. Misty rain came down but we enjoyed a coffee and cake in the Hive Beach Cafe near Burton Bradstock. This is a dog friendly beach cafe and the NT allows dog owners to walk their dogs, on a lead, away from the summer dog ban area and on to the next part of the beach or up on the coastal path. The area is packed with holiday makers in the main holiday but just now it's very pleasant. 

Visit over with gkids, as predicted we did have an earlyish start this morning, kids leave for school at 08.00. Only stayed the 1 night as son on a course away from home, although he got home last night, kids at school all day then clubs in the evenings, Mum works so trying to fit in with everything isn't easy. We are now at The Firs site, from the little I've seen so far it looks very nice. Lots of service pitches and all non awning are on grass. Site looks lovely and well kept.

Brue, it does feel a long time since we left home, its 2 weeks since we left Spain, this is our 5th site in that time.

We came through some rotten weather on the way here hope all is well where ever you are, skies are grey here but the sun is trying to come out, the birds sound happy
