Are you still there? How does a packup of a Polish sausage sandwich, an orange, some raspberries and a packet of crisps sound?

Sounds lovely, but I've ended up going to Cambridge and then on to Ipswich from there just to keep on the move. Thanks to Greater Anglia's poor timetables I still end up getting the same Felixstowe train from there as I would if I'd stayed at Ely.

Another nice sunny day but a NE wind which keeps the outside temp down a bit. A windproof layer is needed outside.
The sheep have appeared back in the field opposite with lambs this time. We have a few hobby sheepkeepers here who own no land and the sheep get moved around various "spare " bits nobody lays claim to.
The field was occupied for years by one such but health problems forced him to give up. His name was one of the common combinations mentioned in another thread but he was commonly known as Peerie.
Got a medical appointment this morning where I have been summoned to meet a GP to have a chat [his words] about my recent bloods and perhaps the recent biopsy.

Hope the results of your recent tests are ok 👍

Right i've fixed the leaking van tap but now the blanked off one is leaking not sure if it's the pipe or the base of the tap.
It will have to wait i've had enough of the thing other jobs need doing.
Just given the dog a bath so 1st one off the list all done.
Still plenty to go oh then find time to cut the lawn for the 1st time this year now it's finally dry enough.

The canvas top of the garden swing-seat had gone all faded & manky so I've removed it and replaced it with a light roofing felt.

Forgot it was Music Festival weekend and the main car park is already wall to wall motorhomes with one or two caravans. Two of the larger ones consider 4 disabled spaces as being provided for large vehicles as no blue badges are to be seen. I did mention to one of them that it would be better if it was displayed. “ forgot to bring it “ was the answer which really means they do not have one but consider themselves to be above the regulations or even a semblance of good manners.
When we had a shop we called this event “ shoplifters convention” and one person was always on watch duty.

There is a body of thought in parts of the campervan community that they are above petty regulations.

Been for a bike ride.
Didn't check the battery!

No power for last 5k and a monstrous head wind. Arrived knackered.
But just missed the rain fortunately.

Did manage an OAP lunch at a pub with nice beer.

I have just watched the original They Should Have Asked Evans The one with Miss Marpel.

Having watched the new adaptation why do they have to mess about with what was for me a perfect story line. I understand viewers are not happy with Great Expectations. I watched the first two episodes.won’t be bothering with any more..

Hoho sc on Evans.
