What are you all up to

Goldie, so sorry to read the news report. Hope that you all able to move on after you get the the all clear at the end of January, which I'm sure you will. Fingers crossed for you.

Helen, the site is Brickyard Farm, Fordesley, and we too are the only can on site so far. That will suit us fine for the Weekend if it stays so. Where are you staying for the New Year?

The journey down wasn't too bad, although there was a slow section between J16 & J17 on the M6. Dry when we set off, but raining a bit while we set up on site, however Flyte and I managed our afternoon walks without getting wet, although it is raining again at the moment.

Debs, that was certainly a grand family get together. Sorry to hear that your granddaughter was poorly again, hope that she is now back on the road to recovery. It must have been a trying journey home, glad that you got back safely.

Goldie - devastating news for you - especially after winning those awards at the show this year. We do hope that January brings some better news.

Goldie, tradgic news for your farming family

Our house feels empty now all the family have returned home.  Everyone thoroughly enloyed rhe circus, the children were on the edge of their seats.

I’m coughing so no hospital visit for me

Oh dear OP. Hope it isn't the dreaded Covid. . Take care. So pleased you all enjoyed the circus.

So sorry to read this Goldie.  Our thoughts are with you...

We've still got the Outer Hebrides branch with us for a few more days, but they're out and about visiting others today.  I've spent a little time booking our first caravan outing for January..... a few days up at Castleton CAMC site.... and booked before 31st December to make sure I can use my free night voucher.

Just a little reminder for anyone who might have firgotten..... If you intend using your 'free night voucher', they can be redeemed on any booking up until the end of March (for a CAMC site) made before 31st December.

Goldie - I've only just read your news and can't begin to imagine how you're feeling and the effect on you all. One of my oldest friends who still farms in the village where I was born and brought up was similarly affect some 5 or 6 years ago and it devastated him at the time. Happily he has bounced back and has a fine herd now but, I know, is still conscious of what might happen again.

Will be thinking of you all and hoping for a good eventual outcome.

David, it just so happens that I too booked a club site today to take advantage of the offer. We are stopping a couple of nights at the Meathop Fell site on our way back home at the end of this present trip, and I remembered to untick the box so that I can pay the balance in arrival!!😃

OP, glad to hear that you enjoyed the circus, but sorry to read of your cough and that you are unable to visit your brother, just to hope that you don't have Covid.

We have had mixed weather again today but it was fine with little wind this morning. We drove round to Acton Burnell with the intension of viewing the Castle,  but access was prohibited due to dangerous trees. We did have a walk around the village before driving onto see Langley Chapel, an early 17th century Protestant Chapel. Got back to the van just before some heavy rain and strong winds. Did manage another couple of dry walks in the afternoon but had more rain this evening. 

Below are a few photos from today. St Mary's Church, Acton Burnell; the only view i could get of the Castle; couple from the inside of Langley Chapel.
