Posted on 17/05/2021 10:15 by JVB66Very grey start here today,
Several aircraft this morning out of Luton,
gone quiet now
Big discussion last night and a shuffle of our bookings, means we are not staying at home now until 22nd June (possibly)have advised sprogs and our neighbours, will need a trip home via commons wood to readjust and can now lighten load carried
Now found OH much safer from falls in c/van, have also worked out easier method of transporting her buggy

Shopping up here is a bit different, only one shop and quite often not much choice if the delivery man is due. Bread was £1.79 and 4 pints of milk £1.75. When you are used to Aldi and Lidl prices it comes as a shock. 😁
Only £1.79 eh? You lucky girl. Try buying Gluten Free bread and see how much that costs, especially per slice. £2.50 for about 12 slices for me.
We knew some rain was due about 11ish today so stayed local and went to the nature reserve just up the road for an hour and a half. Got home and, yep, rained. This afternoon though has been lovely but some on site complaining the north and east coast of the islands wet. We went for a walk for a good 5 miles on the west coast without any rain and a good bit of sunshine.
We had an email from some friends in Norfolk asking whether "You 2 Gypsies are likely to be home mid June as we're heading your way". Typical of their bad luck as we ARE.
So, it will be nice to see them again. Have to see if we can manage something as one of them can't walk very far.
Hope those away are having fun.

Posted on 17/05/2021 09:57 by brueI've enjoyed reading about the various trips on here, Scotland is looking good Steve, especially with clear skies.
We had an amble out to Crossthwaite yesterday evening, I hadn't looked at the old church before, obviously can't go inside but the outside is very interesting, such an ancient spot.
We're taking it easy in Keswick!

Sounds like a good trip Brue we are heading down to the Lakes at the end of this month really looking forward to it. We like Keswick a great place for a walk around with some nice pubs out favourites are the Oddfellows Inn and The Bank Tavern the meals at the Bank are lovely.
Enjoy

Wow, last 2 days have been great weather. So good yesterday that I caught the sun sitting outside the van when we got here.
What a drive that was, fantastic scenery. The last 5 miles were 'interesting' single roads passing places and blind summit's throw in a fair few bends and its like a rollercoaster. 😁😁😁
All worth it when you get here, the site is great, mix of mobiles, MHs, caravans and tents. The owners are everything you want them to be. We are very fortunate in that we have a front row pitch looking over the beach. The views take in Skye and Lewis and the coast going back to Ullapool. We did a nice walk this morning out across the beach and up the cliffs, lots of knee work and don't mine know it. This afternoon we did a 10 mile bike ride.
WN I will put both site's details on once I get back. If I can manage to put photos on I will if not I'll email you.
Nellie, Moray won't affect us on this trip as last stop is the CL at Dornoch
SteveL, enjoy Poolewe its a great place.
Hope everyone out and about is having as good a trip as us.

A full day out today as it was dry, occasionally sunny and sometimes even warm ( but not often).
Drove to Beaumaris and used our CADW membership to have a look around the castle. First day fully open. Nice if you like walls but as Edward 1 decided he needed the money to fight the pesky Scots instead of the pesky Welsh the castle remained incomplete. Cowboy builders if you ask me.
So we took ourselves off for a 6 mile circular walk along the beach and inland. A very enjoyable walk all told. Back for an ice cream.
Packed away most items as we're off home tomorrow. Enjoyed our stay on this new to us CL and have found something to do every day despite the weather trying hard to thwart us. Roll on next Tuesday as we're away again.

Went for my first paid for haircut in what must be 15 months today. When I got there it had changed hands having been run by the same guy for the last 10/15 years. The original owner has apparently set, I found this out later, up a new barbers which is closer to me!!! Anyway it only cost me a tenner which included a tip.
