We arrived in Somerset early this afternoon got set up ok awning up etc nice sunny weather we took a wander to the pub at the end of the lane and had a couple of drinks out in the beer garden such a nice day. Left home late afternoon on Friday and stayed at our usual CL near Carlisle then yesterday made our way down to Chapel Lane just south of Birmingham our usual stop off on way south. Easy 2 hour tow down here today M5 not busy. Weather here looking promising so fingers crossed. Nothing planned yet but there is lots to do in this area
Hope everyone else has had a nice weekend

Your MIL did very well yesterday, WN, and I am sure she appreciated the restful start to the day today. Hope that the weather picked up and your were able to get out and about in the afternoon.
It looks as if you had a grand time, if a little bit of a damp one, last night, tda. There certainly seemed a grand turnout for the concert, helped perhaps by the match being shown on the big screen.
Sounds as if you got a bargain, Debs, and that you can make good use of it this summer.
Enjoy your stay in Somerset, Francis. Club Site or CL?
It has again stayed fine for most of the day, with just a couple of very short light showers, and we now have a clear sky again. Took a drive over the moors, where we had a couple of miles walk, to Lofthouse for lunch and a short walk up to How Stean Gorge. Stopped off to view the Leeds Old Pals memorial above Leighton Reservoir.

Have to make the most of the day as the weather looks changeable for the rest of the week. Beautiful morning here. Waiting for the ladies to sort themselves out.
Off to Levens Hall. Might have one or two topiary photos later.
Enjoy the day wherever you are.

Enjoy Levens Hall WN. We went a few years a go when staying at Meathop Fell site and absolutely loved it. Looking forward to seeing your topiary photos.
Started off a lovely sunny morning here but the clouds are bubbling up now. I am off with my secateurs to tackle our garden which has gone berserk with all the rain. New dishwasher arriving from JL later today - hooray! - hopefully we can stop washing up by hand. Ours died about a week before we went away. The same week as the tumble drier died . We have had to get our plumber to fit a isolator tap so that the dishwasher can be fitted - new rules apparently.

Thanks for the tip TW
Rain here this morning but weather looking promising for the rest of the week we shall see how that turns out. Not a lot planned for today as we have been on the road a lot over the past couple of days so hoping to just relax today

Somerset is lovely, have a good time Francis. Glad to hear things going well while away WN. I am assuming you have taken Camper? Great as a day out tourer?
Lots more done in Mum’s garden, the last rather neglected and difficult piece is looking really good now. Nothing spent yet, I even found a roll of thick anti weed membrane in her outhouse, so bark will be next. Got some plants doing well in my greenhouse for her. She will only be able to see photos though, cannot get her out into rear garden now.🥲
