What are you all up to

Had a lovely day out with our local U3A to Cambridge Botanic Gardens on Thursday with a guided tour with a very knowledgeable volunteer and then had time to wander or sit in the gardens at our leisure. The gardens were glorious and we couldnt have wished for better weather. There are also some wonderful photos of the aurora on our local Facebook page as well Bakers. I missed them as well 😮‍💨.

Sorry to hear that you and your OH have covid DEBSC. I hope you both recover quickly and dont suffer too much 😉.

I hope also that WN's visit to his consultant went well.

Glad you had a good time in Wales Helen. Enjoy the rest of your few days away.

Thanks Millie.

It went as well. if not slightly better, than expected insofar as he told me to ignore GPs advice given 2 days earlier following several blood tests. I can understand where GPs were coming from in relation to one of my markers but Consultant said that the marker was only slightly over and below where the Specialists would worry about. The general trend is still downwards but it's on a go slow, which I hope continues.

Are the Botanical gardens generally open to the public? Sounds an idyllic day out.

Always good to hear of people enjoying their travels.

Here's hoping Debsc and her OH get over their new bout of Covid soon.

Busy couple days, left home yesterday and drove up to the Siding CL in Cawston.  After setting up had a walk up the Marriotts Way.  Today it was off to Aylsham to watch Sophie play in the under 10’s cup final.  After a very close game her team lost 2-1.  On the way to Norwich had a lovely lunch before visiting brother at the care home.  

Oops That'll teach me to read over my posts before hitting the Reply button! Thanks for pointing out my error Freddy. 

Of course I meant that I hope that they don't suffer much,

Just had a fabulous day at the RSPB site at South Stack near Holyhead, how is that pronounced in English? Surely it should be holy as in Holy Island, I don’t know. Maybe the Welsh members can help us here, apparently they call it Ynys Gybi after the saint so surely some religious connection.
No mix up in Northumbria, just saying!😉

Glad to hear the your consumer's words were encouraging, WN, and I bet you are relieved in not having to the additional blood tests.

Millie, your day out sounds most enjoyable, pleased to hear that you had a good time.

OP, The Sidings looks a nice CL, would you recommend it for a stay in that area? Shame that your granddaughter's team lost in the final but I guess they were pleased to have got Thatcher in the competition. Have you been able to arrange for your brother's move down to Hampshire?

A fine day again on the Moray Firth, with the temperature up to 23C. Easy tow along the coast to our latest site, a popular CL which we have stayed in before, as which is full tonight. Makes a change from the llast site which was never more than 1/3rd full during our stay.

“Of course I meant that I hope that they don't suffer much,”

I knew that, it just made me smile 😊 

It's quite common for Holyhead to be pronounced as if it has 2 "lls" ie phonetically holly-head" Micky.

You picked a fine day for your visit. I'll look in on the What Have you Seen thread but hope you saw some Choughs.

We were in town at the big Saturday outdoor market by just gone 9 this morning as OH wanted to get all of the bedding in the wash early on. Great drying day. Back home so a coffee, then MiL had a visit from her very young admirer (the daughter of a neighbour) who seems to have adopted her, bringing her some sweets and little stickers for her walking trolley.  So sweet.

Gardening duties this afternoon whilst the ladies went for a stroll and/or a gossip.

Yes Nell I would recommend it, it’s on the edge of the village just 5 minutes walk to the pub and shops.  Village hall right next door with some interesting evening lectures.  The church is also 5 minutes away and has plenty of historical features.  Price is £20/night that includes electricity.

Brother is meant to move on Tuesday so I will take the van down and stay a few days whilst he settles in

Thanks, OP, I will make more of it for a future visit.

Hope that the move comes off on Tuesday and that you all get him settled in.
