What are you all up to

Our ex works, self funded,  pensioner group have a monthly meeting and today was the last one before Christmas. We have a larger more formal Dinner in December usually at Stadium MK, which we don't pay for Anyway I digress. At this meeting we usually have some form of entertainment and today we had a group called the Last of the Summer Ukuleles who must have been about 12 strong. They come from St Albans and were very good so anyone in that area wanting entertainers they are well worth considering.

We have had some beautiful weather here in MK over the last few days. For those that don't know Central Milton Keynes was built on the East - West axis so when we came out of the meeting the big sun was almost on that line and very low, could hardly see out of the car windscreen.

We too have a self funded pensioner association but as most meetings are held in London, or occasionally Aberdeen, I have never managed to attend any.  They also seem to happen when we are away in the van anyway.

Pensioners used to be invited to their local office Christmas dinner/party, but that stopped about 6-7 years back as Head Office reckoned it was an unjustified expense!    Skinflints!

Hello 😉. Good to read of folks recoveries. Mine is very slow but feeling human now thank goodness. Can't be long at the mo as got to take mum for hospital appointment.

Enjoy your day folks

Glad to hear you and others are starting to feel better B2, it's quite a long lived bug, I seemed to be coughing for ages when I got it. Fingers crossed for a healthier time now. I'm off out too so will join you in saying enjoy your day one and all. 

A glorious crisp fine sunny day (so far!).

Later today OH and I are off to Buxton to see Show of Hands at the Opera House, and a night in a Premier Inn. The high life beckons!

Then back home tomorrow and even more entertainment - Faustus (at Staveley Beer Hall).

We're committed to going out to live music and forgetting any worries we may have. Two more Gigs before Christmas, and twelve booked already for Spring. 

Have arrived at our last site of this trip FM,very light traffic on A47 here until Tuesday,  would like to stay longer but have a trio of hospital appointments from Wednesday, plus hope flu injections in stock by then ,  one upside Bohemiun Rhapsody still on at local cinema so hope to see it again  (number three)

Sparkling,  clear  day  here  in  the  County  Palatine  but  ,  despite  other  locals  comments,  I'm  finding  it  bitterly,  bitterly  cold   !!  I  suppose  it's  my  own  fault,  I  really  should  not  have  told my  barber(ess)  to  'cut  it  well  back  to  last  till  Easter  as  usual  please'.

I'm  hoping  all  those  still  ailing  are  at  least  stabilising  &  about  to  show  marked  improvement,  or  I'll  have  to  disinfect  this  mouse  &  keyboard .  And  I've  just  received  my  first  'pre Christmas  job'  --  I've  got  three  days  of  Pigeon  Feeding  to  do  this  w/end  while  my  neighbours  take  a  break  in  North  Wales  &  do  a  "Park  Run"  there,  for  a  change   .

Do  hope  you  all  have  at  least  as  much  energy  as  they  have ==  me ??  no  chance,  too  busy  sitting  here  ploughing  thro  those  photo slides  --  upto  number  10601  already 

What a wonderful idea to go to live music gigs to forget any worries you may have goldie. We are doing the same and have a few lined up. It takes our mind off the very troubling national news  (no more comments required as i don't want to get into politics) and also medical worries. To lose yourself in music or a good film is very therapeutic.

I hope your hair grows back quickly ABM. It is forecast to get very cold soon. 😲

Glad you are beginning to feel better bakers2.

Enjoy Ferry Meadows JVB The Christmas lights switch on is Friday PM. Enjoy Bohemian Rhapsody. I hope your hospital appointments go well.

Lovely day for me. Took Mum and her SIL, my Aunt out together. They were nattering away ten to the dozen, lots of old memories, some rather sad, some very amusing. To be repeated next week.........

Might be the same memories, ttda!

Coming to the end of our break here at Warwick. Been lucky with the weather. Lots of walking. Probably our last outing of the year as Mrs WN and MIL taking themselves off to Madeira for a week at the beginning of December. 

Second half of the year has been a bit chaotic at times but we'll probably have managed to squeeze in nearly 140 nights away this year so we really have no complaints. Had a great years caravanning and already waiting for January and the next adventure.
