H & T, most unkind to tell me you've bought some Lardy Cake . It's my preferred Emergency Sugar Level Maintainer, when I'm ambling round the G D S Fair . Takes almost no carrying at all .
B2, hoping & praying that the standard of care your OH receives from now on is even better than you are hoping for ! It seems utterly appalling that certain units of the "Caring Profession" just don't seem to care

Our Gig going is still ongoing. Last night we went to see Megson at Kendal Brewery Arts Centre. I've been waiting for them to come to a venue near us, and it was worth the wait. Uplifting songs, beautiful harmonies, wonderful string playing and interaction with the audience.
One song off their new album was very true to life (they all were) - click on the link to listen.

Tonight we having a belated Burns Night Supper. I bought a large Haggis at a knock down price and stuck it in the freezer until we had enough people round the table to justify it. Tonight there will be nine of us, so it's -
Haggis, Neeps & Tatties. And my interpretation of Cranachan converted into a crumble.
OH may get his tartan waistcoat and bow tie out.

Thinking about you Bakers. You do have to keep an eye on things once loved ones go onto Wards. I hope each day improves for you steadily, as it should.
Nellie, the heki is fully fixed and back in, saved a packet with OH doing job himself. This lovely weather made things easier. All done from inside MH as well. We have just bought a few items to put in ready for off, but we won’t decide where until we get a weather forecast next weekend, West or East. We prefer North Wales, haven’t been for quite a while, and folks suggested some lovely new to us sites, and most of the big castles are likely to be open. We want to have a look around Dolgellau area as well, as I have found a cottage that might suit for Mum later in year. It could be all off touring wise if weather changes, if that happens I will book a late cottage. We can hunker down round a stove and take the Jeep for a play if it snows!๐

Another decent day here today, not so much sun but mild enough.
Went for another bike ride 10 mile this time, taking it easy just now to get back into it as we haven't been on them since end of October.
OH finished the fence panel this morning while I was sorting out indoors.
Off to see Mum tomorrow morning, then think we will pop out to a dealers to have a look around. We are not going to buy but OH missed the shows so want to have a look see
Bakers, hope OH (and yourself) has a better day today.
NTH, yes we are off again next week to Lanzarote. We are already planning our trip away in the van though, we haven't used it since October so itching to get away again.

Another brilliant sunny day with temperatures hitting 17C. Went to Lackford Lakes and watched a couple of kingfishers flirting, fantastic.
Visited a cousin in Dianne T’s neck of the woods, unfortunately didn’t have time to see Dianne and John.
Back at van and night sky is stunning

Posted on 23/02/2019 00:11 by KjellNNThere is a decided lack of full facility CLs in Scotland Nellie, certainly where we want to be, and not so many CAMC or CCC sites either. OH did find a few commercial sites, but the only one that looked like somewhere we would be happy has a length restriction and could not take us.
However, it looks like, fingers crossed, I may have found the problem.....a loose fuse on the Alde boiler.......it is now working, just hope it stays like that!
Van goes for service next week, so will be checking everything else over at the weekend.

Good to hear that OH has fixed the Heki. By the look of the forecast the next couple of weeks promise to be fine. We're trying to decide if we should go to Wales or Scotland after Easter, so we too are looking for sites in both areas and the very long distant forecast. Should you go to Wales and find some good sites it would be good if you could point them out to us, you know the type we like.
