What are you all up to

Good Morning Bakers

Another fine day so I took MiL to see if we could find her some slippers. Sheep Wool lined with leathers no less but it was a fruitless journey. Means more trips when she can fit us into her hectic schedule. OH asked her when her lunch date with the Ladies was. She's at the age where she forgets and couldn't remember, so we checked when we got home and it's tomorrow which clashes with her craft class. One had to give.

Had some partial luck in getting arrangements made for selling our second bike. We're due away mid November and it will mean running back and forth from home. Fortunately we're not too far away.

In addition I'll have to come home for a couple of hours anyway as I've now got another appointment with my Renal Specialist in that period. The local surgery are also insisting I see someone. Good news though as I bagged the first slot.

😁 MH passed her test. Twenty years old this year, so the old girl is doing well. Can get on planning our Winter tour now, fingers crossed all will be safe and open.

..“Sheep Wool lined with leathers no less but it was a fruitless journey.”.. 

I don’t know if your MiL is desperate to try on the slippers Wherenext but my OH always buys online from Drapers of Glastonbury, they do lovely sheepskin slippers. 

Just back from River Breamish gosh it's changed! More pitches with tarmac road surface to them! Luxury!

Today blood tests as ordered by GP don't know what she's looking for! OH had her Covid booster and Flu jab.

Organised Covid Pcr test for last respite outing. The hospital has changed it's telephone system couldn't go to the nurses that have done it in the past, so had to go back to GP!

Son has had an extra day at his day centre today so 3 days out of five is better than the two !

Will have to empty the van, as OH and son don't do cold weather vanning due to their condition.

Glad you had a nice time at River Breamish robsail. Hope all tests go well.

Nice to have got away Robsail. Good to hear your son had an extra day at his centre. 

We're on our last stop, opted for Conkers due to Uttoxeter closure and cancellation. A good family site, loads of children out playing in a safe grassy play area, we could hear them making friends. Seeing our own friends who moved nearby ...viewing their new bathroom stored in the dining room, long wait to get it installed, they need KJ!! 

Then home to visiting dog whilst daughter and partner go up to Scotland to see their friends and bring partner's Mum back from Cumbria for a break. All go! 

Cottage in Cornwall coming up soon, just a short break, that will be it for the year.

PS Hope you find the slippers WN. 

And TDA, that's a good old van you have. That design lasts well doesn't it.

Thanks Heddlo but she won't internet shop for shoes of any kind. She has slightly differing size feet. I've offered to buy her a sheep so she can start from scratch and have them custom made but somehow that didn't go down too well. The current pair were bought in York at a Christmas Market 2 years ago but not much chance of that this year. 

Still, I am but a taxi service.

Great to hear your trip went well Robsail. It's a few years now since we were last at Breamish but I remember enjoying it a lot.  Probably one of the nicer club sites. 

Have you not had your booster yet?

Well done that Motorhome, Ttda.

As Son and OH had their 2nd Jab at the end of April they are ok to have booster now. But I was on a different list as an unpaid carer under 65 at the time I had my 2nd on the 1st June so I guess i will get my booster December for christmas?

Breamish is nice and quiet, the one thing that I missed this time was the squadrons of geese that flew overhead, didn't seem as many!

Good to read that the M/H got through it's MOT, tda.

Glad that you had a good break away, Robsail, and the good news that your son has an extra day at his centre. Fingers crossed that the tests are ok.

Another loss to the CC with your swap to Conkers, brue. Enjoy your time there and meeting up with your friends.

Pleased to hear that you've managed to sell one of the bikes, WN. Hope the other one goes too to help pay for the new ones.

We've had a friend, and her dog, staying on our latest CL along side us for the last two nights, hence the lack of postings from me....too many things to talk about over a class or two of wine. We did the obligatory trip to Stonehenge today and it was the busiest place that we've visited all trip, but still managed to keep well away from the hordes. It's now a 1.5 ml walk with the dog from the visitors centre to the stone themselves. Buses available but no dogs allowed on them. Quite a change from our last time we were there when we parked across the road from them. OH can remember when one could even wander and picnic between them, but that's no longer the case. Returned to our site past Fonthill Lakes for another walk. 

Robsail,  I think the problem that the geese have, is they have been banned from their usual low ~ level  bombing practice
