Had a drive across the new bridge this morning, for us it’s very convenient.  In the summer we will be able to walk over the bridge to Yarmouths South Beach

Have a good time away, Francis. 

We went down to Ludlow for three nights last week.... stayed at the AS site, owned by Morris Leisure.  We took opportunity of their 3 nights for the price of 2 offer.  A couple of weeks before we went to the club site at Castleton, when we used our 'free night' offer from the CAMC.  Just trying to work out if there are any more free nights going...   🤣🤣🤣

Our daughter and Son in Law went to the show earlier this week.  The bought a boat!!  The live on Lewis and had an old boat which Wayne uses for fishing.  The storm blew something off it (can't remember what...😀), and although the boat still works, I think they felt it was time to upgrade...

As well as the pies, hope you didn't find the trip 'too expensive'.  😀😀

Luckily David not too expensive we looked at a few vans but we like our current caravan we’ve had it from new and it’s now 6 years old but it suits us with the layout and size. Farmers market wasn’t cheap though. We did see the boats there too hope your family enjoy theirs

Server errors again. Just posted on that thread. Only one that would open! Tried my open tabs again to find they all open........

Please keep posting. I'm longing, with everything crossed, to hear from Goldie especially at the moment.

Nice to read other's news. Not much to report here, I had garden help Friday but I couldn't help! Saturday started with lovely morning and I promised myself a potter out there. It was short lived as heavy shower. Nice to see the bulbs coming up. Plenty of snowdrops. Fingers crossed, and everything else, just one patch of 3 cornered leek- in my new turf 😢. I covered the turf and resorted to weedkiller 😱. It seems to be working.

I've pots of daffodils that were dug out, to lay turf, in pots doing very well so they can be put in the gaps. 

We definitely don't have crocus anywhere in the garden. So I'll see if there's any in pots reduced soon 😉 or make a note to buy bulbs in the autumn.

Enjoy your day folks

Good Morning all, I see we're back, well done to all staff involved 👏

Had a quick read through the posts,  Fingers crossed for Goldie hoping you get the all clear from the TB tests. Good to have a catch up. Bakers2 we also have lots of snowdrops they are earlier this year. Even a few daffodil heads appearing. 

We enjoyed a couple days at Moreton in Marsh last weekend, used our free night voucher,  site has changed a bit since we last stayed,  lots more service pitches and now yurts and safari tents too.  It was good to be away, everywhere was fairly busy as the weather good. Discovered when we got home that a back spring had broken on the car, new one ordered, shame it wasn't a front spring OH has a spare in the garage!🤣 New one all fitted now so back up and running, just handy that OH can do the repairs. 

Otherwise it's been a quiet week. Just waiting for Virgin Media's contractors to start digging up the same pavements that Swish Fibre dug up last year, they have just finished the next  Street up, so expecting them Monday.😫

Better get a move on,  must change passwords,  it's good to be back though, keep posting all your news, Enjoy the rest of the weekend all.

Not good news.

Our 60 day TB retest threw up 3 new reactors and 16 Inconclusives. We now wait for official channels to decide what to do next. Nothing happens a weekends. Various options and protocols to observe.

And in other news - while our son was looking for his dog (busy exploring all round the nearby fields) he noticed that a window had blown out in our caravan. A smallish one over the cooker (not visible from the house - loo with a view). Tempory fix and dehumidifier in place. It's nearly 20 years old and owes us nothing, but there's no way we could afford to replace it. Besides, I like it.
