What are you all up to

In between times I am trying to catch up with all the washing. How can only 2 of us generate so much?! 

Because you're clean living? OH occasionally says to me that she wishes we were not so particular about personal hygiene as it would make life a lot easier. Not with her sense of smell it wouldn't!

Doesn't sound like you needed those snow shoes after all Millie.

Edit - I think the club is missing a trick. They could easily get the reply box sponsored by Spec Savers!

I agree about Specsavers WN. It really hurts my eyes the print is so small. I got so fed up I stopped checking for any typos I might have made.

We visited Morecambe today, came away thinking we shouldn't have bothered. Very run down and apart from some school children on the beach on a field trip it was deserted. The weather was pretty miserable, raining on and off. Day improved with a trip into Carnforth where we had lunch at the Brief Encounter cafe followed by a visit to the exhibition at the station, very interesting with film, railway and Brief Encounter memorabilia,  you could even watch the film.😆 

Good to read your MIL's walking is improving,hope you all enjoy your cottage break WN.

Millie, the washing after a holiday is always one of the jobs I dislike too, bit like the tiny font when typing on here!! ☹️

Helen, are you on a CL near Arnside? Enjoy your stay in the area.

Sounds like an interesting morning at the Cathedral, Millie. Hope that the x-ray helps to identify the problem with your OH's knee and the the exercises easy his aches and pains.

We were able to get the van packed up and away between a light shower of rain. We had an easy 100ml drive to our first site of this trip. It was raining lightly while we set up and then had a heavier shower around mid afternoon, but it has been dry since then. The nights do seem to be drawing in a bit too quickly though it has been a dark day all round.

A couple of photos from this evenings walk, does anyone know what they are known as?

"and 'the great and the good' were there including one chap with spurs and a sword and another wearing stockings, black patent shoes with silver buckles and coat with lots of buttons - I am.not sure what their titles were but they were obviously important."

Sounds like the Lord Lieutenant and the High Sheriff of the County, millie. They were always invited to our annual Order of St John service when I worked for St John Ambulance - so a similar thing.

Thanks R&R I thought that was who they were but didn't want to say on here as I wasnt sure. The Mayor was also there and arrived slightly late - but then he is Italian!

Grey and wet here today.

Grey and wet here today.

Milliehull, isn't it just. Fine mizzle but heavy. 2 damp dogs here plus me! Just right for your washing!  There's a new discussion started about Northern Ireland

I thought of you when the asked about places to visit as well as site. Wherenext has given a couple of sites he'd earmarked but not used. 

Right must finish breakfast and sort todays tasks, which now includes a hair wash, not on the agenda........

There’s two good things about Morecambe that we take advantage of - The Platform (very good music venue - developed from the old Railway Station) and, if we are feeling flush The Midland Hotel. Though it’s not now as good as it was. 

And maybe sometime in the future The Eden Project

Is that at Boroughbridge? If so we saw those stones when we walked from the C&CC site into the town. See pictures below.

We ordered two new sofas back in february and they are being delivered tomorrow. So we moved the others around so ready and easier to get them out, now OH is complaining of back pain and we are both feeling our age. Found so much stuff stored behind them! How they are going to get the large one out is a concern, we have had them both for donkeys years and they do need replacing. We have chosen recliners for our old age comfort 😊. Our old sofas are dark brown but OH has chosen very pale grey this time, he’s just asked why I have so many throws, I just raised my eyebrows and reminded him of the pale grey colour he has chosen.
