“There is something wrong with this world when you can’t smoke in a pub, but a woman athlete can spit on a running track in front of millions on television.”

It has been a great weekend Lynda and Buzz arranged to have a weekend with us in Stamford. After having a walk around a part of Rutland water and having lunch at a pub, we got very wet on the way back to the
car.

But the highlight of the weekend was going to The George of Stamford.

Drinks and canape in the bar.

Then off into the York dining room for a fantastic meal.

We would like to thank Lynda and Buzz for there generosity and good company, it was a night to remember. (sounds like a song) Buzz definitively was the best business partner I could of ever had and a great friend.

Decisions

On our way home we stopped at Waitrose for groceries to stock the house again. Well all the decisions, do i get Birdseye fish fingers or Youngs fish fingers or Waitrose fish fingers. It is absolutely exhausting, you finally get through the checkout. Then you are given a green token to put in a charity box, but then again BIG DECISION what box do i put it in!!!

No wonder I drink.

After leaving the ferry we went to Maidstone caravan club site via the railway station where we picked up Mark. It was great to see him and he stayed the night with us. (ear plugs were supplied so he could get some sleep)

It was a bit like xmas he brought a present of books, Wendys birthday presents, a anniversary present, a fathers day present and also a wi-fi booster Ariel kit so i can pick up wi-fi on sites in the camper instead of standing in receptions or sitting in busy bars. (any how i just love things with plugs on)

After dropping Mark off at the station we ended up on a certified location at
Newbury (a farm field)

Now we are in England we find a need to sing “rain songs” but we need help at the moment we are constantly singing

Raindrops keep falling on my head

Singing in the rain

In never rains in southern California

Some where over the rain bow

These are getting boring please help with more songs

Thanks

Thanks to Sandra Keith and Ben for the rain songs they will keep us singing
all week

back to reality

Before we went away we bought a new washing machine a Miele and they are heavier than our last Hotpoint. As we live in a upside down house the utility room is upstairs and when the Miele gets spinning the floor was shaking. While in Germany looking round a large D.I.Y. store (as you do on holiday) we saw this anti vibration mat for 10 euros all you have to do is cut it to size fit a thin piece of plywood on the top to stop the feet sinking into the rubber. And slide it underneath, this has made it a lot quieter and stopped the floor vibration a lot. One good piece of advice when moving heavy appliances squirt some washing up liquid under the feet and they slide in a lot easier.
