Finally today I think I am cleverer than a squirrel.
You think????😂😂😂 Where food is concerned they make Labradors look like amateurs.
Wish we had some sun but it's another grey overcast day but a bit colder and breezier.
Finally finished sorting out the household insurance. Had to move companies. Not many reward loyalty these days.

A definite win today, washed the car yesterday and my little Kracher was spurting water from all over, I took it to the Kracher dealer/workshop in Lowestoft. Guy told me it would cost £50 to inspect and £60/hrs for any work. I brought a new one of the same model for £80.00 with a 6 year warranty.

DEBSC against the squirel 😁. Let us know how it goes.
When I was driving home earlier I saw a hint of blue and thought the sun might put in an appearance - but no it was just teasing us, soon back to dull and grey and now dark.
Hawes was always a favourite of ours especially when we had the motorhome. There is a lovely walk across the fields to The Green Dragon pub and the falls. Also Hawes itself is a nice town and of course there is the Wensleydale Creamery. We went for New Year for a few years.

Posted on 07/11/2024 11:28 by MillValleyMotorHomeJust starting a quick pack of the Motorhome, ready for a trip to the Brighton site for the weekend. Great site to use a base to see Faithless on Saturday.
Also, looking forward to breakfast at the East Brighton cafe which nearby.

Posted on 07/11/2024 13:16 by DSBHad quite a poor week this week... a really bad sore throat developed last Thursday, just in time for a concert I did at Perton Church (just outside Wolverhampton) last Saturday.... unusually I even had to get someone to do the announcements (I usually do them myself!!). Fortunately, I've made fairly good progress since, though, so hopefully will be able to cope with practices today and tomorrow + a concert on Saturday at Elford Church, just outside Tamworth.
Meanwhile, on the Caravan front, it's looking like it'll be a couple of weeks before we can get out in the caravan. I have this sneaking desire to go to Hawes CAMC site. We've never been, and a few folk have said to me that they quite like the site. I have to say, we just tend to book up a couple of days before we go. I usually take a look at the weather forcast and choose the best weather. A couple of weeks ago, we ended up at Bearsted CAMC. (weather related). Mind you I think I still have some sort of 'free night offer' to use at one of the Morris Leisure sites, unless I've already missed the sell by date!! 😀

Hawes is a very nice site DSB. Fantastic dog walk, big field next to the site, owned by the Club, my tip is to park down that long side looking over this field if you can, although it’s not so close to the facility block. Must see places in Hawes (all within a short stroll) are the Dales Countryside Museum, the famous Ropeworks (good for dog leads🤣) and of course the Wensleydale Creamery. Nice shops, nice eateries. Don’t forget to check if you get discounts with your CAMC Membership card. Unless I am mistaken, I think you have a LR 4x4? In which case, consider doing some of the minor road routes to places like Sedburgh, Ingleton, Settle. Countryside is amazing, the Three Peaks and of course the huge famous viaduct. There’s a tiny local church nearby, which commemorates those who died building it. There’s a Dales Visitor Centre at Aysgarth as well, fabulous if river is in full spate. You won’t be short of things to do from the Site, either on foot, or in the car.

Posted on 07/11/2024 15:57 by OneputtGoldie, think I just saw your farm on a Utube video a few moments ago. If you want to see more have a look at the latest ‘Harry’s Farm’ video

No, unless I was looking at the wrong video, it’s not us. We’ve no flat fields like that, and no arable. We are out there somewhere - usually odd clips when BBC or ITV want a sound bite. If you have Instagram you can catch up by following @JRfromStrickley. Or find a really old Countryfile, which has probably been wiped by now.
