Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
A couple of months ago my daughter arranged a pub lunch with Mrs D ......then I was "invited" to join them.Guess who paid for dinner?
Again.......guess who paid.
Glad to read that as I thought it was just me.
Morning all, just a quick post to let you know that I am still alive and kicking in Western Australia. Today I am down on the south Western point in a town called Augusta. It is where the Indian ocean meets the Southern ocean. Tomorrow it is a drive back to Perth before heading up north on the 5th leg of the adventure. Life is sweet.

In Oz, eh? Now, remember the golden rule - if you want to get there, drive a Land Rover. If you want to get back as well, drive a Land Cruiser.

Rubbish, I've driven all round Aussie in a Landrover and towing a caravan, but it did have a 3lt Holden engine in it.
Why would you have a 3 Lt engine in a caravan

I have been leaf clearing again. Never ending at the moment.

There's a small Irish Pub, "Tailor Quigley's", nip in and say hello. And don't be frightened by the landlady, she's not as bad as acts.

Not a breath of wind? Not a breath of wind? Did I say that? Really?
First 25 miles in to a 20mph wind. That wasn't in the forecast. 68 miles, 5500 feet in glorious sunshine with excellent company. Once we turned westward the wind dropped or was on our backs - just as well as people were VERY tired.
Film club tonight. Five households in our village take it in turn to host a film each month. What we watch will be surprise until it starts. We have watched a huge range of films over the last 4-5 years.

I have the same problem. Nice having a lot of trees around us, but a bit of a pain this time of year.

Fair weathered,fair minded but easily persuaded.
Well my first retirement weekend has been spent in Sandringham in the Motorhome supporting @hopless500 at a 3 day craft fair. She did brilliantly and we had fun. @Fab Foodie was chef for the weekend so kept us fed and watered whilst Basil the Whippet provided the entertainment.
Now it's Monday tomorrow and guess what, NO WORK
and for once my mind is not going round with all the things I have to do.
I could get used to this.
