BIG mistake, luckily there was no one in reception so we did a quick walk around and drove out. Ended up it the Forshore park complete with pillow, playgrou...

As I look around my home, I look at all my books. I love reading and have been one of those people that never throws a book out. I am thinking that once on the road with space a premium I will not have room to keep books. Figured that a kindle pad or something similar would be the way to go. How do others do this....

Back at Greens for the night and loving it. Have just had a most excellent evening with Nu One and Shady n Me at Greens Lake. A magnificent star filled evening around an excellent fire.

Just had a reminder... my partner is hopeless with keys, mislays them frequently, and did it again this morning.

We have two nice dogs to look after and a couple of horses in the paddock that we just have to keep a eye on. We also have the chance to explore the surrounding area...

Our water heater stopped working a few days ago. Was fine on gas, so thought must be electrical fault. A serviceman came this afternoon, and went straight to the small cupboard in the van by where the heater is. Hey presto the heater is plugged into a socket in the cupboard and the plug had been bumped out...
