What are you all up to

"I'm reading posts on this thread as light relief from ones in some more serious sections of this forum. Nitpicking and point scoring abounds."

I'm pleased I'm not the only one that thinks that, Goldie. I thought we were all on here to enjoy our hobby / way of life - and to help each other if possible.  Some of the 'discussions' are more akin to what might be heard in the school playground rather than between mature adults!

Thanks TTDA - kind of you. I expected the wind to increase as we went west on the A66, but the reverse happened. Just shows how unpredictable the weather really is!

The one I felt sorry for was Meg, our Cockapoo.  8 hours in the car - in her cage - and never complains.  She had a good run on the beach, this morning just to make up for it, though

Very strong winds here, once more, OH is convinced we're going to lose a tree (a sixty foot birch with a bit of a lean!) I hope we don't as it's one of three and it will look odd with just two...

Waiting for various deliveries today so am stuck till they arrive.

I think if your car is comfy, and there are regular toilet stops and leg stretches, Meg would rather be with you!😁 Our Lab goes everywhere with us, in back boot space of Jeep. Plenty of room, warm but not stifling, he loves it. He has a permanent “where are we now” expression on his face. So long as his Dad is close by, he is happy. ❤️

Dark wet and windy today, lights have been on since we got up. 

Have done nothing this morning just sat and plinked and plonked on my laptop 

Got to go into town and then some food shopping 'again' where does it all go. 

OH not done anything other than wash and shave either, what a pair of lazy so and so's.

Wish I was somewhere warmer, dryer and sunny 

Good to hear R&R and NTH had safe trips yesterday, horrible towing in wind and rain.

Yes - she just wants constant attention! That's why she loves caravanning - because we're always 'there'! She gets so excited for two or three days before we go away - she always knows something is happening and doesn't finally settle until she's in the car.

Why I felt sorry for her - was that to all intents and purposes we were off in the van again - and after 8 hours in the car - where do we end up Dad?  At home!

Couldn't agree more Richard with your view of some of the posts. It's driving people away from posting.

Glad the trip went well. Good job it wasn't today. Had to laugh as I read that you had to let your Cockatoo out for a run on the beach. 

Miserable day here. Had to get MiL to pick up library books from town so that they could weigh her down when she was out and about. We had to return to Mrs WNs garage near Cheshire Oaks today after a trip yesterday to fix a small problem. Unfortunately she left her ear muffs there and she doesn't go anywhere without them. Helps her Neuralgia enormously.

I think my cars have it in for me today , I needed to go in to town ,got in my main car and the battery was dead, ok ,I’ll use the other one , started it and now when I turn the steering wheel to the left the horn sounds , so disconnected the horn and will have to sort them both tomorrow 

There was a very red sky when out with Rosa this morning, then it clouded over and quite heavy rain,did some shopping and wind started to strengthen ,and now back there are quite high gusts tugging at the awning even though it is on the Lee side of the van 

New 12mile 3 lanes of A 14 opened yesterday and all came to a stand in the evening with the first accident

There was here (a very red sky), in East Yorkshire, this morning - and true to form it's blowing a stink here at the moment. Still, we're tucked up inside with a lovely log fire in the wood-burner, so all's well.  Just pleased we weren't caught out in this, towing the van back yesterday.

Hope you survive the storm intact JVB.
