What are you all up to

They have a wonderful rose garden at the Palace if you ever get the opportunity to visit.

We visited the Palace some 6 or 7 years ago, it was a lovely experience 

On our second site of the summer..... and the rain comes!!  Nice day yesterday whilst travelling, and managed a Cadac evening meal last night.  Not looking good today though!  😧

A brief shower this afternoon but still quite war here.

My car has been serviced and CT (MOT) today and no issues thankfully then this afternoon OH had a appointment with specialist nurse and he was there for an hour as she has more time and all ok and another item to his prescription for some cream for his sore patches on the back of his ears and she said to make sure that the arms of the glasses are cleaned frequently  as it could be the problem.

Had a good lunch with our friends yesterday but it was so hot to sit out for the meal nearly 36C even though they had a large canopy wound out and ended up with a headache heyho, a bit cooler today thankfully and tomorrow so hope we can get some ground work done before it gets hot again on Thursday and Friday, the weather is very different to other years as some days very hot and then days when it is much cooler.

 Please send a bit of that warmth this way RK, although it has been fine today for a while it is raining again just now.

After my visit to the dentist this morning we called in at Tesco for fuel and some provisions before heading back to the caravan at Kendal, with a walk en route and another after lunch. All ready now for our next move, back into the Dales.

Some great birdwatching to be had in the grounds OneP, especially some of the rarer Woodpeckers. 

First time we went there we caught the train into Vienna but second time we drove in and actually managed to park right outside the gates. Not so sure it would be allowed nowadays. It was 1991.

Good couple of days here. Yesterday was very sunny and warm best day of the holiday so far so we didn’t do much took a walk to the market about a mile away and on way back stopped off at campsite up the road for a drink in their beer garden so Nice in the heat then headed in to Burnham on sea for a walk along the shore front there was a brass band playing on the shore front so we sat and listened to them for half an hour or so before getting fish and chips to take back to the van. This morning it was pouring so I went to the John Haynes motor museum while SWMBO had a day on site in the van as she’s no t really interested in classic cars so let me go to spend as much time a I wanted there. Some lovely cars all well laid out so I ended up there most of the day I had been 3 years ago when we were last here but being a bit of a classic car nut it was well worth a visit lovely collection well worth a visit for anyone in the area interested in classics. When I got back we went to the local green king for a lovely meal before heading to the bar at the site next door for a drink. Not too sure what we are doing tomorrow we shall wait  and see what the weather is like.

Glad you are having a nice trip David and getting use of the Cadac. Enjoy the dales Nellie lovely part of the country we were down that way in May.

That’s a beautiful sunset Nellie, hope you enjoy the rest of your latest Tour. It’s not been too bad a day here, but the rains started and due to keep going all night, forecast is for a lot warmer and dryer later in week here in South Yorks. 

I did a post Grad day release course in Buxton for a couple of years in my early working years, and made friends with someone who worked at the Opera House. We must get there at some point.

We loved the Haynes Museum Francis, I found it a lot more interesting than  the Big Museum up near Warwick. A few years ago now. If you are NT members, Lytes Cary is a very nice day out. Gorgeous gardens and old house, and a nice estate walk as well. I can’t remember how close Forde Abbey is to where you are staying, that is a beautiful garden and Estate as well, House very interesting.

Arrived at NYM site yesterday afternoon - in hot sunshine and managed to get the awning up and everything unloaded from the car but it was 5pm before we finally sat down and I was exhausted.  The lovely wardens that had been here for years have obviously moved on and I have to say there is a totally different atmosphere here with the new ones.  I won't say any more other than the 'welcome' was very efficient - but not much 'welcome' there!

Having a lazy day today - weather has already changed with fairly heavy rain overnight which seems to be par for the course everywhere from what you are all saying. My mobile wifi is excellent this morning - despite the remote location - 52Mbps download and 7 upload - and that's without the external aerial.

Francis - I read about a new cycle route being opened up in North Somerset the other day and meant to post it for you so here it is

Pier-to-Pier Cycle Route

Enjoying a coffee break before going to town to pick the ladies up. OH has accompanied her mother on the bus this morning, another box ticked.

We had OH's cousin visit us unexpectedly yesterday to see how his aunt was progressing. Nice to see them again as they live in Scotland.

We also offloaded nearly all of our caravan equipment to someone who is looking to buy a caravan shortly. We gave it away, at least it was a good cause.

Just have the one item now left. We can see more garage space.

Enjoy NYM RandR. The way things are going you don't know how long the site has left.
