If we watch it tonight I will let you know what we thought if it Millie

We watched it on the Brittany Ferries ferry back to the UK in March.  We enjoyed it but wouldn't recommend you go out of your way to watch it rather than wait for the DVD to come out.  It was funny but nothing special.  The real stars were Godfrey's sisters.....  and it was amusing to see Ian Lavender taking the role of a General...

we have ended yp watching something else now but thanks for the reply maybe just wait until its out on DVD then

The day started out misty & damp but it soon cleared up and we've had plenty of sunshine and no rain whatsoever. Decided to start my cleaning regime, following our return home, by cleaning the car.....all washed, waxed & polished.

You must have had some decent weather .  Were going back to Burnham for a couple of nights. Motorhome still not washed other than the rain

You were lucky with the weather Nellie, I bet you ache after all that polishing and you still have the van to do! 

Caravan came back from its service with a clean bill of health . Good news, can now get sorted for our weekend at Top Lodge, aka Stamford.

Great news Helen

TinWheeler,

  Further  to  our  comments  elsewhere  about  localised  weather,  it's  just  been  reported  on  BBC local  TV News  in  the  North  West  that  flooding  is  possible  in  any  parts  of  the  River  Weaver  Catchment  area,  inc  Crewe,  Nantwich,  Frodsham  etc  etc.  and  apparently  some  shops  in  the  Cheshiire  Oaks  Retail  area  have  had  roofs  collapse  under  weight  of  water  !!

Think  Its  agonna  be  waders  &  wellies  with  the  old  knitted  swimming  cozzy  tonight  !

Frightening  thought  but  a  worse sight  !!

OH has just gone into shock!! Where will she get her retail therapy now. She's just hoping that it's not the clothes shops that are affected. We are just planning to be down that way in early July, so perhaps by then all will be fixed.

it's the Coliseum rather than Cheshire Oaks. Roof collapses in several units including debenhams.

Not too bad at the moment. It's the back of the legs that feel it stretching to polish the car roof. We've both got appointments tomorrow morning, OH at the hairdressers and thenme at the dentist to get a filling put backin, so I won't get started on the van till the afternoon, weather permitting.

I took my wife for her appointment at the surgery this morning to have a blood test. 

Now arrived at a nice little site just SE of Luxembourg city, quite a few UK vans here too.  Weather not too bad today, managed to cook and eat dinner outside after putting on our thick sweaters!   Now back in the van with the heating on.

Short trip from Nancy to here so arrived in good time for lunch and spent the afternoon planning what to do.

Unusually for an ACSI site, they wanted to know how long we planned to stay and asked for payment up front.  Even worse......they don't take credit cards!  Luckily we had enough cash to pay for 4 nights.

However OH has made a 4 day plan, so we will need to raid the bank to pay for a 5th night here.  The forecast is not good so plans may well change. 

The last leg of the trip will be to a site on the coast in Belgium on Sunday, in preparation for our ferry on Monday morning, then we have another 9 days till we are due home.

Write your comments here...we liked Luxembourg especially the city, lots of things to do, hope you have a good time. We are in Limoges at the moment, weather was awful yesterday very heavy rain, today has been much better thank goodness. Moving up to Angers on Thursday or Friday then Caen on Monday for ferry Tuesday morning. Think we will be chasing you up the road, stopping off briefly to see both boys and families on the way.

Sell, re van weights, ours is not much heavier than your so hopefully we'll attain similar fuel consumption as yourself.

Write your comments here...Guess it will be a little bit less as you have gone for the auto.
