Didn’t look like a councillor.Just up the road from there (up towards the Beehive Inn).
It was probably our local councillor- shoulda left her there.
We are at The Fleece now, got dinner booked.
We re staying at the Riverside glamping site in the van. What an absolutely smart little site. All new and clean and well kept.
Like being on holiday only 14 miles from home.
Some guy came running past shouting that a woman had fallen into the river. So off I went. He did cock all and I had to climb down to the river, step along all the stones in the river and get to her and haul her up and get her back up onto the path. Think she’s bust her shoulder.
Can’t believe you’d think I wouldn’t be in the thick of it.
.....can't teach that. Nice one
One night in Norwich! Not too far from home but we had tickets to the theatre to see Les Mis which was fab… so stayed at Whittlingham Campsite, but in a Yurt. Had to light the wood burner… chilly night for a change! Nice little site only 30 mins or so walk into town.
Then onto Sandringham the next day to pay our respects with a few other people..

Bugger the fire pits - that wood could cater for all my heating needs for the rest of my days!!!A morning visit to Chatsworth House to have a nosey around the “Burning Man” sculptures.
What impressed me most though was the size of the Dukes log store.

I wonder how many camping fire pits he has for that lot of wood?
France and England
Left Brizzle at 6am this morning and currently parked up near Clatteringshaws Loch in the Galloway Forest Park.
First day of me and the dog bumming around the West Coast of Scotland. No firm plans, nothing booked, just taking each day as it comes, will be gradually heading north up the West Coast.

Correct breed to be travelling in Western Scotland!
Ha ha, yeah, she'll be a West Highland in the West Highlands (don't tell anyone but she was born in Box near Bath)

Further to my post above, I lied about the lack of sea view as I noticed this morning that you could actually see it if you looked straight through the front windows of the Swiss registered T5 (with roof tent) parked behind us. That said, the beach is a bit too crowded for my taste. Apologies for the poor quality of the first picture but I've got a new camera and not quite mastered the art of differential focus with it yet - must read the manual at some point.
Chateau du Gandspette, last night of camping in France this year. Chance to top the leisure battery from the solar panel during lunch before an afternoon walk to the Blockhaus just 20 mins away.
Needed a blast of the diesel heater during the night as it got a bit chilly.

They sell it, think I've paid for the re-guilding of the gold windows at Chatsworth about 5 times over.
Drove across to Derby to Cosmic Campers to get a pop top fitted.

The Lake District, and Borrowdale. Her indoors dad and wife and his sister's are staying for a week so we went to visit. They all live in the south of England and we live in Scotland so it was nice to see them all after a few years.
On the drive home we got to do two good favours. As Adsa was closed for fuel I had to put fuel in at the service station north of Carlisle. A lady and her young child asked about the lack of loo paper in the shop and the server just shrugged. So I gave her our unused van roll. Then later on at another services outside Glasgow we spotted a sole lady driver moving her dog out the boot and into the front of her car, before looking out a jack. So me and the missus walked up and asked if she needed help. She had hit something on the road which tore her tires sidewall so we helped her by changing her wheel and getting her back on the road.
