What are you all up to

👍👍 Glad to see that the cows are 'back out' after having such an aweful time...  I'm sure they'll soon have the grass under control... 😀

Happy birthday, M, and enjoy you visit to Krakow.  Lovely to see the photos.

Lovely photos moulesy. One of our grand-daughters went to Krakow as part of her 18th birthday celebrations and said what a lovely city it is. Have a wonderful time and Happy Birthday.

Pleased to hear you had such a good time with your little grand-daughter Helen and Trevor. Yes can't they be lively at that age. We spent an afternoon with our 4 year old great grandson last week and he was a bundle of energy I wish I had their energy!

After a few pleasant warm days, yesterday was as predicted terrible - torrential rain, hail and even snow at one point all with very high winds. I hope everyone out and about kept safe. Today is grey with a very cold wind. I managed to dry a lot of washing outside during the nice weather and cleared all the garden pots of the bulbs that had finished. We have had a week of medical appointments - 2 follow up appts for OH - all good thank goodness and a couple for me.  We are certainly getting our moneys worth out of the NHS! I have just received an email saying we can now book for our spring covid booster.

Last day here in Wales, last visit to our friends this afternoon, we will need to go on a diet after being so well fed this week!

The CL was busy when we arrived, but now only us and one other van on site.

The weather has been very mixed, Sunday night was bad with strong winds and noisy hail and rain showers, but today there is quite a bit of sun between the showers.  

Off to Kendal tomorrow, so not a long journey, small detour into Mold required to fill fuel before we go.

Hi Kj. If you are at the CL in Kinnerton then the slightly cheaper fuel can be found at Tesco's at the shopping complex at Broughton. It's always slightly cheaper there than in Mold. 

Had an appointment at the GPs myself yesterday. Would have been happy with an email reply to my query or even a phone call but system not set up that way. Anyway it was a good job I went. More bloods wanted. Have an appointment in a weeks time for that.

We're taking MiL down for her Covid booster on Thursday Millie. Good to hear the follow ups proved to be good.

Sunshine and showers here today. Wind not as fierce as yesterday but cold coming from the NW.

Just had a tremendous hailstorm, and some thunder. Strange thing was that the hail wasn't the normal round beads but quite large flakes of ice a bit like heavy snow flakes. It was strong enough to set a nearby car alarm off! Welcome to summer.

Walked in just a shirt and sweater this afternoon, oh! and my shorts, 14degs wall to wall sunshine, but over the IOW it was looking a bit on the black side , must say this neck of the woods generally misses most of the bad weather although the wind was ferocious yesterday 

caravan now gleaming, professional guy had it done in 2 hours this morning, was impressed, he opened all the windows, roof lights, lockers etc and gave them a good wipe round, and my alloy wheels look like new , all i had to provide was a 240v socket,  impressed.

I think we filled there last time we were here as we were also shopping, but today we were passing Mold anyway so just went there.

No need to shop at all when here unless we run out of milk for breakfast, such is the level of hospitality!

The "smart" ( for which, read expensive!) way of seeing the city sights involves 4 (well 8 actually) legged horsepower! (I declined.)

So it's been quite a tiring day with 2 walking tours, the first to one of the richest parts of the city, the former Royal site at Wawel where the former kings and Queens of Poland were crowned. It's also the site of one of the city's great legends - the fire breathing dragon!

And, by contrast, this afternoon, to one of the poorest areas, the old Jewish ghetto where the guide went into great detail about the horrors of the wartime. The most moving sight was the "empty chairs" memorial - 55000 Jews were apparently forced into this small area with just 350 buildings. All the families came with furniture, having been promised they were going to new homes, but of course there was no room so most of it ended up left on the streets. We also visited some of the areas where the film Schindler's List was set.

Tomorrow is Auschwitz & Birkenau which promises to be a tough but very fulfilling day.
