What are you all up to

TG. I don't know why people leave trampolines unpegged. Our eldest daughter and partner found the neighbours trampoline on top of their car after a storm, the car was badly damaged.

So presumably your daughter claimed against their household insurance who in turn settled with the neighbours?

A lovely sunny but very breezy day so we did a bit of sightseeing and then I had a huge treat. May not mean much to most of you but today I went to a wonderful Fish and Chip restaurant who use gluten free batter and therefore there is no cross contamination. First time I've had Fish and Chips for a good few years. The place (SaltMalt on N.E. corner of Chew Valley Lake) was packed and you couldn't tell the difference in quality as the people on the adjoining table testified.

Might have to arrange a further holiday in the area or bring the caravan back to a local CL or the AS site nearby.

Unfortunately a bit of a bad do as the neighbours had no insurance.

Congratulations on your son's new job. 

Manchester covers a large area, do you know in  which part he's going to live. There are a few CLs scattered around the environs so you'll have a choise of sites to use when you head up for a visit.

Glad that you manage to get the Fish & Chips you were after.. If you do get down to the CL you'll have to give me a report on it. We've not visited that area much.

It's been a couple of fine days here around Stratford upon Avon, although a bit windier today. Went for a longish -nearly 4 hr- walk yesterday from Hidcote Gardens. Today we had to pay a morning visit into Stratford and then had a 3 ml walk from the CL. Our last night at Monks Barn before heading up to Knutsford area. Hope that the wind and snow hold off, at least till we get set up.

Eckythump, Nellie. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck with the journey.

 We passed a farm with a CL sign within a mile of turning out of the car park at Chew Valley Lake, heading south towards Bishop Sutton in order to turn left oonto the A386 towards Bath. I've looked in the CL section but can't find it. It seemed to be set in an orchard (maybe Brue's place).  You'd be able cycle around the lake plus some birdwatching on both this lake and Blagdon Lake (bitterns supposedly breed on Chew). Be interested myself if anyone knows what its called.
