What are you all up to today? - part 3

We've been getting ready to go away for our first trip of the year - so exited but a bit apprehensive too. I tore cartilage in my hip earlier this year and getting comfy at night can get a bit of a pain - quite literally Having a weekend in Nottingham to give the caravan bed a trial run and to catch up with family then on up to North Yorkshire if all goes well. Brue -  if we had been here for the weekend we would have come to see your garden! I love open gardens - we have one regularly in our village. 

Hope your trip goes well, and you find the caravan bed comfy! 

Enjoy 

Had earmarked today to wash our motorhome after watching the forecast - dry and sunny. Its raining!!!! . Its filthy with nice green bits and black streaks too - unique .  Got a price for 'hand wash' very reasonable BUT they use a pressure washer to rinse off. We have no damp issues, fingers crossed so not going to risk. Hate having to re-gear my day takes a lot to get ourselves in the right frame of mind to tackle vehicle washing in the first place

Bakers2,  I know what you mean about having to be in the right frame of mind for van washing, ours is filthy too, plenty of black streaks,  It's just getting started that the problem.

Back home from Broadway yesterday, quick turnaround of washing, down to Sainsburys to stock up for family BBQ (yeah, really..in this weather....) at Sandy Balls this weekend, so back in the van just 12 hrs later so a good turnaround....just like a Red Bull pitstop

quick visit to parents to check all is well and deliver a few of Dad's 'tools' (the contents of his garage and shed) that ive been storing while waiting for his new shed (now arrived) at their new bungalow....should keep him amused for a while...

new experience for us this weekend.....guests in the van!!!

daughter and SIL ........and Springer!......dont see it lasting, lol...

have a good weekend all.....hope,the weather is king wherever you are...

Have a great time BB,

Weve just done SORN so its not like well be using it, we did that whilst it was dirty!  By the time we get back and straight it'll be October and it'll be cool and wet, not likely to inspire washing it.  Naturally its the heat and dryness that is inspiring us now .  Maybe its just us but we got soaked in the process. So a reasonable day is vital. We used dry wash with good results a couple of years ago, good result - I fear it hasn't been touched since . Fancy admitting to that here

Perhaps by October,  summer will have arrived Bakers2?

Do you really think so??

Oh stopped rainning, not cold, and himself has spoken.  Now got to re-pshyce myself. I'd just settled down to do household accounts.

How much excitement can one woman stand???

BB - which area are you in at Sandy Balls?

We were there in May and in the 'Orchards' area.

At New England Bay. No rain so far today! It's bright and sunny, but breezy, so after a very late breakfast (listening to Pop Master on R2) we are sitting in the awning catching up with the News on paper and Ipad. 

Sandy Balls on a weekend in July. Have you won the lottery?
