Instead of just doing something special for our 40th wedding anniversary on Tuesday (Wendy was a child bride) we decided to treat ourselves while in Bristol (instead of the sparse life we have lead over the last 3 months!!) Tuesday lunch we went to our favorite pub/restaurant the “The Pump House” The food is fantastic, they actually sell the bread and chutneys the chef makes.

Wednesday lunch we walked up to the Clifton suspension bridge, then into Jamies Italian for a very nice, what the menu calls a sampler feast.

Thursday, a quick march along to M & S’s food hall, then staggered back to the “Cottage Inn” which is next door to the site, for lunch.

Thursday evening we decided to eat at a waterside bar beside the theatre. It ended up being very enjoyable, there was a charity fancy dress event in Bristol and all the uni students were out.

I think these girls wanted to take me home (well any one can dream)

Midnight Tango, is different from what we would class as a show, it is purely dance no talking at all It was set in a South American bar with 2 men dancing for the attention of one woman. the 2 bar owners added comedy into the show.Vincent and Flavias dancing was fantastic and the live music very good.

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.
