What are you all up to

Back home safe and sound, had a good trip away. Really liked Chester and Bristol, both new to us so another visit will be on the cards I think. Most of the sites we visited were half or more full, more visitors than when we did a similar trip 2 years ago, great to see folk are getting out and using there units.

We were very lucky with the weather, the first week was very cold but lovely and sunny. The second week and half was a bit milder, the only real rain we had was at Ferry Meadows but only for the morning, we managed to get out after lunch into town and enjoyed that. The drive up today from Middlesbourgh was perfect, the roads were not busy and there was no hold ups, the weather was great blue skies and the wind had dropped.

Van now been emptied and tomorrow I will start the pile of washing, think we are going to be getting a bit of snow in the morning so the shopping can wait until after lunch.

Nice to see you back, Malcolm......

Last walk with the dog over the local estate for a while, 5 miles for us, much further for her, we are taking her back to Peterborough tomorrow and staying overnight to hear about their holiday and celebrate my birthday on Sunday.  I can't believe it's a year since we woke up in an idyllic resort in Thailand, I know they say the older you get the faster time goes but this is ridiculous. Almost finished the quiet activity book I've been making for my granddaughter, equal amounts of inspiration and desperation.  Only attempted as my daughter showed me a lovely one online.  Much watching of ideas on YouTube and fabulous ideas, which were over ambitious .  It's turned out OK, but not as I saw it in my minds eye but I am a perfectionist .  Biggest decisions were the size of the pages, not one who demonstrated, some were fantastic others reasonable, gave an indication on size.  Felt like the first day of spring, which it certainly isn't, but inspired me into wanting to do things and thus I've actually sorted through and achieved loads and even had an unexpected visitor for a cuppa this afternoon.

Pleased to hear you enjoyed your travels Tammyg. Bakers2 this year will be different if you have a wedding on the horizon...start conserving your energy!  Happy Birthday for Sunday. 

We have had horrible stormy weather for the last two days but it's dying down now, sun forecast for tomorrow.

Thanks, Ian but with the awful weather we've been having over here, there's not a lot to post about! Everytime I leave or arrive on site, I have to hope for the best that the Smart car doesn't get stuck in the mud!

My birthday today  Have had a wonderful day socialising with friends during the day and a family meal out this evening. 

Glad you had such a good trip Tammy and pleased you visited Peterborough Cathedral. I love the place. We really like Chester as well. We had friends who lived there for a number of years and used to visit often. One of the few places where you can walk completely round the walls.

Happy birthday Millie, glad you had a good day.

The Cathedral was interesting, I liked the whole area around it and see why you love it so much. We were blessed with good weather in Chester so walked all the way round the walls, it was a shame that the tour bus and boat trips are not on at this time of year as we would have done that as well, still good excuse to go back again. I had a good time retail shopping at the outlet center to  think it could prove to be a good stopping off point on the way South for the ferry.

Thanks Brue, we did enjoy our travels, its amazing how many folk were out and about especially in Bristol, the site was almost full.

Happy birthday Millie.  Hope you had a really good day.

Happy birthday milliehull.  Have a lovely day. We are going to have a quiet celebration of our son's engagement today and my birthday tomorrow 😃. Just going to walk the dog,  it will be a path walk into town to spend voucher I had for Christmas for cake slices from patisserie Valerie.  It was for 4 and they're huge so thought I'd spread the inches to others hips not just mine😂😂😂.

Husky Malcolm posted yesterday on here this thread. 😉

Whoops double post again. Obviously not solved yet.

Tammygirl glad you had a good holiday.  I have my eye on Chester for the near future 😃.
