Posted on 27/02/2021 15:19 by KjellNNThat is interesting Steve, is it a wet room style or a swing wall?
We have been very spoiled by the shower in our caravan, it is a walk in style that sits in one corner, so is very big.

It’s a wet room style with a sectioned screen, that when extended curves round screening the basin and loo, magnetically sealing against the doorframe. Works well, everything stays dry outside the screen, with the exception of the shower tray. The bathroom floor is one big tray with two drainage points. Move a cloth about with your foot when you finish showering and it is fairly dry. I suspect getting something as spacious as you have in your caravan might entail going above 3.5 tonnes. Not something we wanted to do.

Nice dry day here again today, bit more clouds at times but still very nice to be outside all day.
Gardening for me this morning, I got all along the long back border
OH was busy in his man cave doing things he also rolled out the canopy on the MH and gave that a clean.
This afternoon we went for a nice walk down to the Mill, river Tay now dropped by about 10ft, still running fast. Couple of canoeists out on the water and some fishermen.
Bumped into friends who used to live over the back from us, they moved to a different area of the village and our paths rarely cross these days, so we had a good chinwag. Our eldest used to do out with their eldest for a while when they were teenagers.
Bakers, sorry to hear you are still feeling tired, I hope the tonic works and you are back on form soon.

Well, I didn’t manage to get into the garden. Forgot we had arranged to go and pick up Mum’s birthday present. Seller had all sorts of issues with PO, so contacted us to see if we would like to collect it, which we duly did. Not far, but I did find a lovely water garden nursery to pop into. Got some lovely new plants for pond, aquatic compost and new baskets to sort out existing plants. Could be a froggy day tomorrow😂 The little blighters are getting frisky now....

I was astonished it was open to be honest, this one doesn’t sell food, other than for Koi Carp😂 Never been before, got what I needed though. I shall be having fish nightmares tonight, huge carp lurking in lovely ornamental pond. Personally I would have outed the fish and had it as a swimming pond👍

No, we do not want to go above the 3500kg either. We realise that the shower will have to be a bit of a compromise compared to what we have now, but would only go for one which we considered big enough. Hopefully we will be able to go and stand in some examples within the next year.
Having removed a fixed bed from our requirements, there does seem to be a few smaller vans with a reasonable shower room/dressing area, which would be our preference.

Another blue sky day, we went for an early walk together (most of the time we do solo walks, OH does more than me usually.) No-one around, quiet roads, one plane spotted in the sky. Just enjoying the last of the air pollution free days until the school traffic gets going once more. One week to go...
OH has gone to collect some potting compost etc from a local garden centre, asked him to bring back two more bird boxes as we have a lot of house hunters round here. Two blue tits have already started to make one box their home, lots of tapping round the entrance hole.
It's nice now but will it be the usual cold or snow at the beginning of April?!
Back to the van for me to finish the clear out and clean up. I did wonder, do we really need solar dragonfly fairy lights and a windmill.....
Have a good day folks, whatever you are doing.

Grey day here not so inviting to work out doors, so having a lazy day.
Will take a drive into town soon, need to drop something off at my sisters, go for a walk and pop up to Tesco to look for a new toaster. Ours seems to have a problem. When we put the bread down it won't stay down just keeps popping back up.
