Another nice day, won't like it too much when the temperature starts to drop. In Bristol today and was surprised to see nearly empty docks, usually filled with cars, vans and flat bed trucks etc. Haven't seen them so empty since the aftermath of the financial crash!

WN - Yes you are right we left Chester this morning and are now at Blackpool. Glad the weather has been ok for you
TDA - Yes I have actually been on the Old Trafford tour a couple of times and found it great and the museum was good too an enjoyable day out although it has been a few years since I done it so may be different. Now.
We left Chester Fairoaks club site this morning after a great 6 night break and made the 1 hour 20 minute tow up to Blackpool today M6 wasn’t busy so we got here just before 1. After we got set up we headed in to Clevelys so while SWMBO went round the shops I went a walk along the shore front then had a beer in the Dickens inn. Back at the van now site is very busy think we are heading in to Lytham tomorrow. Weather has been nice today so hoping for more of the same tomorrow

Posted on 14/10/2021 08:58 by WherenextI've always found the Salvation Army will take items that some other charities wouldn't.

Thanks for that, ,I have found several charities will accept buggies ,at their main warehouses ,only ,if we live close enough they will collect or we can take it to them, if to far for their pickup areas. ,,so it looks as if the next 5 site visits will entail a careful journy between each as the car will be "very loaded "

Millie,

This lovely looking rental is opposite our current rental in Holt that I mentioned the other day.
I thought it might suit you. Unfortunately it only sleeps 2 so no good for us. Perfect location for the town and very quiet. We even had a Partridge in the drive yesterday morning!
It's always difficult starting up anew after touring so if I can help in any way give me a shout.

Glad you seem to have found a solution JVB.
Last day here so we drove to Wells for a long beach stroll in the sun. Cold wind from the north mind.
After lunch from the beach cafe we had a stroll around some of the grounds in Holkham Hall.
We've had a smashing week. MiL determined to live long enough for a return or so she threatens.๐ One has to admire her spirit.

We were in North Norfolk this time last year with my Mum WN. Always enjoy it there, beautiful countryside and coast. Quite unique. Glad you had a good time. Fingers crossed our trip with Mum goes as well.๐ค
We have been out for lunch today. Used a voucher a dear neice’s gave us at Christmas, lovely little shopping complex that includes a nice tea room, deli/farm shop, antiques stalls and a few other retail units. Great food, we sat outside in sunshine, then finished with a walk around a local nature reserve, so a nice afternoon. Weather looking changeable from tomorrow onwards, our day starts with early Flu jabs.

Moved onto our next CL today, between Axminster and Seaton. Because of hold ups on the M5 around Exeter I followed the sign for Honiton A30 but they disappeared as we got into the city so did a circular tour of the student zone to get back on the right road.....a bit of fun with the van behind. Site is fine and I'll review it later after our stay.
Have a safe trip home, WN. Sounds as if you have had a good time in Norfolk.We
Glad to hear that you got to Blackpool safe and sound, Francis.
Nice day out with your mum, tda, glad you too bad good weather.
