Thanks for your good wishes, David.

Hope that you managed to get your awning down without any mishap and that you got home safely, R&R. It's a shame that you have had to cut short your stay but better safe than sorry.

Glad you thoroughly enjoyed the show last night,tda, and I hope you have a good time during your stay over in West Wales.

It was very good of neighbour dropping off an evening meal for you both, Millie, and I hope you are both feeling a little better.

Glad to read that nearly all of you jobs are complete, B2, you certainly deserve a well earned rest now.

Not a lot going on at home, a little gardening during the odd period of fine weather but they don't last overlong before the rain comes back. Hopefully the next two days should be fine and we might get out Grizedale Forest for a good walk.

Took brother to hospital for an MRI scan.  He was lucky to get an appointment within 2 weeks of his consultant request.  

We are off to North Norfolk in the van tomorrow and just hope the weather behaves,  Been a nice day although the wind is starting to increase in strength.

Anyone else out on the road this weekend go carefully

Thanks NTH - back home safely. Was very windy when we took the awning down but with a bit of pre-planning we got it down without incident. Don't know what's going on with the weather here - according to the BBC forecast (if that's to be believed!), winds in Hornsea today are due to reach no more than 23mph - but Flamborough is showing almost 50! - and it's less than 20 miles away as the crow flies. Weird??

Another day, another gig. This time it's Seth Lakeman at Kendal Brewery Arts Centre, so no overnight stay. And yesterday I booked tickets for a gig 12 months away - Bellowhead! They split up in 2016 and returned for a "one off" tour last year. We were gutted that we couldn't go because of my husband's degenerating hip. But maybe they miss us as much as we miss them and they're back on the road again next Autumn.

Something to look forward to in these unceratin times.

I agree Goldie. Nice to start filling up a calendar of events early. We booked to see Bill Bailey last night. Decided against Sting, tickets that are left are very expensive, and we have seen him three times previously.

Arrived back home today after 10 weeks away. We've covered just short of 5000 miles France, Spain and Portugal. 

Weather varied from 31c to torrential rain and gale force winds. Thankfully the bad weather was only for about a week. We did however leave Portugal 2 weeks earlier than planned because of the bad weather. 

The places we liked best was Galicia and the Picos mountains. 

Sites were busy in most places but none full. Spain was very busy with German vans, every site had many already set up for the winter.  We saw less Norwegian and Swedish vans than in the past and hardly saw a British van. 

Our journey back through France last weekend was wonderful, the weather was perfect. The same can be said about our journey up from Portsmouth this week, lovely sunshine all the way. 

Van now unpacked of most things, I have a mountain of washing to do and food shopping tomorrow but it's nice to be back home, even if it is freezing cold. ☺️

Will catch up with what's been going on over the next few days. Have a good weekend all.

Glad to hear you are safely home, OH was just saying today that she was worried as you had not posted for a while!

Do not know about the Swedes, but the Norwegian Krone has plummeted in value, the natives are unhappy, so maybe not travelling abroad so much. 

Can verify this as my Norwegian State pension has also plummeted.......which is of course very bad!

We also have just booked tickets for next year, Midsummer Nights Dream at the RSC. OH is a huge fan of Shakespeare and that’s his favourite play. Managed to get the same seats as we had for Macbeth, end of the aisle suits us better.
