What are you all up to

Brilliant gig - one man, four instruments of the stringed variety, distinctive voice and a wonderful catalogue of songs.

And one of the best things about these smallish gigs and friendly performers you can talk to them in the interval and afterwards.

Next month (among others) we're seeing Phil Beer (also Show of Hands) at Ellel (near Lancaster)'

Lunch with DD then the 4 of us set off to the "Still Game" live show in town.  DD's husband's BIL is the director so had given all the family free tickets.

Do you get "Still Game" on TV in England?  

We watched the last series and found it quite funny. Had to have the subtitles on just to make sure understood what was being said!!!

Also quite like Two Doors Down which is another Scottish comedy.

Goldie, 

   Pleased  to  hear  you  are  still  enjoying

musical  evenings  !!  Just  don't  park the  car  near

the  Police  Station  tho'    !  they've found  a  new

form  of  Parking  Deterrant  in  Carlisle    BOOM  BOOM

Just home from a nice weekend away at Strathclyde Park CC site very busy this weekend. We went to the Scottish Caravan show yesterday had a good day although I must say we weren't impressed with the new Autotrails thought the built quality didnt look much we have an Autotrail just now and are thinking of upgrading but cant find anything better at the moment as outs is so well built. We did get a bargain on a new wind break though £50 off

Cleaning out van, restocking and doing all the checks prior to my first trip away next weekend! Off to beautiful Somerset for 6 nights. Small CL near to where my son lives. Great place, very pretty orchard site, lovely friendly owners. Perfect!

Sleeping in the van on the drive tonight as it will be a first for the pups! Heating fired up and all toasty warm. 

So excited!!! 😂😂

Thanks for the warning re Carlisle parking. We're going to The Old Fire Station next month for Police Dog Hogan. Not sure where to park - it will our first time at that venue.

, Day off today .Time to give the " Concorde" a wash !! Hmmm,,,,one hour & half later ,,,,all done !! Ready for the away next week-end at Black Horse Farm.Cloudy & overcast here in East Kent.

Glad you enjoyed the gig Goldie,  I must check out what's on at our local arts centre. 

Quiet day today, nice long walk with the dog, although everywhere is very wet and lots of mud. 

Hopefully managing to catch up after a few days of dodgy WiFi!

Belated Happy Birthday to Millie and Bakers - have I missed anyone?

We're treating ourselves to a week in the lakes - a cosy cottage in Hawkshead rather than using the van. Lovely spot, comfortable cottage, just got the woodburner sparked up so probably we'll all be snoozing soon! Woke up to a rather misty start, took Harry & Lady out for a stroll along the path which leads from the back of the cottage along to Wray Castle. Then drove round to Windermere to stock up for the week and, as it wasnbrighteing up, took the opportunity to walk up to Forest Head which, famously, was Wainwright first fell in love with the lakes. And what a superb viewpoint it is too, well worth the small effort involved in getting there! Mind you, what AW would make of the stone road that's been built almost to the summit doesn't bear thinking about.

Forecast looks good for the rest of the week so hopefully some longer walks in store and hoping to meet up with Mr & Mrs Nelliethehooker and Flyte later in the week.

Happy Days (Smiley smiley!)
