Good Morning

First topic message reminder :

Morning all

Another lovely start with blue sky - forecast for slightly warmer today although Allen ( wints) did say it was 29 c in the shade behind his van yesterday!!

Need to find supermarket today and stock up - pulled into one yesterday and got to entrance to find 2.5 m height barrier!!!

Morning all
Still taking the tablets and moving round like an old man -what do you mean I am an old man lol

The   has certainly come out to play here   and I can't go away for more than a day because of various appointments.  When I can get away in the van it will rain - typical.

Still its nice to put the washing out on the line and it smells wonderful when brought in.

Might give you a well earned rest for a couple of weeks Pete, get pauline running around after you!   

Morning all
Thought things would be easing but a lot of pain this morning!
Must be  because I ordered  several things online yesterday -  must be the pull on my wallet - sorry no amazon !

Hia

Pete take it easy and don't rush yourself

Bit frosty this morning but lovely

But weather could change tomorrow as I am off to the Wirral caravan club site till Friday

Opened curtains and see a bright blue sky, pity everything was covered in frost.
I'm gob smacked, walked to the doctors, about 3/4 of a mile away, saw doctor, he sent me to nurse for blood tests, also had to go for chest xray, so walked home, had a brew and  some breakfast, drove 5 mile to the hospital, had xray and come home all in 2 and 1/2 hour, was expecting to be in the hospital that long at least

That was prompt service Ken - had to wait for appointment for x-ray and blood tests!

We get a choice now Pete, we can either go the the big hospital at blackburn which is about 5 mile away, just turn up between 08:30 and 16:30 and have the x-ray, or if you want to go the the local hospital in Accrington you have to ring and make an appointment, so I went to Blackburn, get it over with, saves jiggling appointments with work and days away etc.
Blood taken by the nurse at the doctors.
Waiting time now though, hospital told me it might take up to 14 days for results to get back to the Dr, so appointment made for the 26th

What a rickety lot we are   

Peter having had surgery, Ken having blood tests and x rays and I am seeing dracula on Thursday morning at the ckd clinic   Then there is Bob and Barbara   Between us we are keeping the NHS going.  

However the     keeps shining and it is quite warm out there.  Hope it continues for Homers meets.

Morning all

Going to watch Pauline doing some gardening today-so that will kill 5 minutes of the day !
Am frustrated as people keep posting pictures of their vans in pristine condition- whilst mine is sat in back yard waiting for a good clean and some use!- and I cant do it yet!

Morning all,
She might struggle to find the garden at the moment pea souper out there!! I cant see ours it's that thick.

Sun already broken through here Mark- but ice on cars!

Well the fog has finally cleared to leave a dull, cold and overcast day, and I am having a more restful day as I was out volunteer driving all day yesterday. So no work on the van today.

Hia


I'm back

Don't all groan at once

Nice to have you home again Polly, where ya been.

You chose to go away in good weather Polly.

Been very windy and cold here today and no   .  Suppose it has to have a day off sometime.

Hia

There and back to see how far it is

Sorry couldn't resist

Joined the caravan club as I wanted to visit a few of there sites so I started with The Wirral just 3 days then not next week week after Burrs country park
Then had to cancel Wirral again as Gladys as to have  her mot and a service

Yes weather was good but misty or foggy but Izzy and I had nice strolls on cliff top and beach 
No swimming as no sea?

Morning all
Lots of wind here -last night and this morning and very grey-good job Pauline scarified the lawns yesterday

A little breezy here in Northern France but it looks like another good day, busy getting ready for the off!

Morning
Don't rush it Peter give your body time

How long have you to wait before you can drive Pete?
Only 2 night shifts this week, we're off for a few days in the van on Wednesday morning, return Sunday, hope the warm weather is going to come back, it's a bit chilly today

Was told not to drive for two weeks Ken

Hello everyone

Breezy but dry here now.  Had rain this morning.

Weather is supposed to become warmer next week so hoping to have a few days away in motorhome.  

Hia

Very wet here
Taking George and his mum to the hospital see how his foot is
He's hoping to be riding Wednesday evening 

He came round to mine on his peddle bike last night while still in plaster 
I wouldn't let him ride home so I took him home 
The little monkey

Good morning, well it is for me, I've just got up   
Looking a bit damp out there.

Not far from me Ken.  Are you going to Brown Moor?

Not recommended to access the A684 from the M6 unless you are familiar with narrow twisting roads.  We use the B6255 via Ingleton although that is narrow in places but scenic run.

Don't forget to go to Wensleydale cheese for a meal.  Haven't been able to get in at the weekends but you should be ok in the week.

Ken almost forgot if you haven't been to Hawes before you should go up past Simonstone Hall and on to the Buttertubs pass towards Keld. This is one of the road the Tour de France bikes are taking in July. 

Don't go down to Keld unless your sure the motorhome will pull back up the hill/mountain.  I have done it in a recovery truck and it is hard work for the engine.

Some of the A684 and surrounding roads are closed while they are being repaired for the bike race.  I think Reeth is affected just now.

Oh and don't forget your  camera.  You will need it to take pics of Gods Country.

Joyce just had a look on google maps    do not think I will be going anywhere near that area in Buffy, shame really it is beautiful.

Thanks for the tips Joyce, we will be going up through Ingleton, been up that way before but never in the motorhome.
Just remembered, my passport has run out   but I will risk it
Must remember to take my flag with me!

Got to admit Bob, it is nice up there even though it isn't part of lancashire

Bob Colin went over in 8leg Scania and recovered a coach that hadn't quite made it up the hill from Keld.

I went over in 12t Renault and recovered a motorhome back in to the Hawes direction.

Buffy should be ok just tell Barbara not to look over the edge cos you can't see the bottom of the tubs.  Story is the farmers use to store their butter down there, [because it is very cold] to take to market once a week.

Yorkshire kept the best from Lancashire   

Hope you have an Orange mobile network phone cos nothing else works up there.

As you know all about the Homers website Ken I won't tell anyone you haven't your passport with you  

Hia

Spent the afternoon from 1-30 to around 6-00 at the local hospital with our George and his mum
Plaster removed and now a boot and physio tomorrow
(Now I know why we have retirement )

Doctor told him that the brakes were bad one was going across and the other was up? Not sure what he meant. But he told George no racing for at least 6 weeks or sports , he also said that if he did and did damage to his foot he could be looking at at least 12 months out so let's hope that sunk in
Oh well I am on the physio run tomorrow
Have to ask about swimming as his mate as an indoor heated pool 
Not bad

Hia

Lovely morning

Lovely morning here too

Bright and breezy here today. 

Chasing Colins driving licence from DVLA.  Tried phoning DVLA but they are too busy to take my telephone calls.  

Why did they close all the area offices?

His

Well I have finally sat down with cheese and crackers for tea and a glass of red
Yes I know it's not healthy but been a busy day
Tomorrow is ME day so I am off to the Heritage library which is our central library
I need to find out which Ridgway was married to which Prenergast and who are the parents of 6 children
Then if time see who lived where and when. I will take a snack with me to keep my tummy quite

Let you know the outcome as I know you ALL want to know  

Got phone signal here on the 3 network Joyce, bad internet though, very slow, but they have wi-fi on site, i'm about 10 yard off the aerial for it, cracking signal and the cheapest wi-fi I have ever had, £1 for the password, that works out at 12.5p each per day   
On the last pitch, right under a tree thats blocking satellite reception    Will have a play about with the aerial tomorrow, haven't slept since my night shift   

Hia

So you won't need tv tonight

I never need it   

Hia

Ken but Molly and max do

Morning all off to the library in awhile
Hope you all have a lovely morning whatever you are doing 
This is a ME day no kids or GRANDKIDS needing me

Someone went so we moved pitches, got good tv and internet now, Adele's happy once again   
Bit wild out there today

No flying helicopters today then, should imagine you weather up the wilds will a damn sight worse than our here on the not so sunny lancashire coast.

Well up ere, it all started grey and windy, and since then it has gone steadily downhill, and the weather presenter this morning quite cheerfully told us, it is going to get colder again, oh cheers, oh well, back to the winter woolies!

Got hailstone at the minute   

Don't get them in your Guinness Ken lol
