Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It's more than damp here now, it's raining.

I loved MO's last reply on that thread, but you forgot the racist part. Someone not mentioning any names said we were racist if I remember correctly.

And we had the cheek to complain about the NHS as well.

Good morning folks, back from our travels up to London and Southwell in Nottinghamshire. We did a parkrun at Wormwood Scrubs, lovely coffee and flapjack at the Linford Christie Stadium afterwards. Looking at the various awards and roll of honour on the walls of the Clubhouse I saw an award to a gentleman named Ron Hopcroft who in 1958 set the world record for 100 miles on the road in a time of 12 hours 18 minutes ! One disappointment was that after working our way through a “ Lincolnshire Plum Loaf “ we discovered that it doesn’t contain Plums 😮
Must get back to a bit more of an exercise regime, winter is coming…

Yay......tis Fish Friday! :hungry::cheers:
Off for a walk along the Camel Trail this morning, then lunching at the St Mabyn Inn.
After being the only unit on site for a couple of days, we were joined by two motorhomes last night - one of which has already moved on.

You have been told before about your rowdy drunken behaviour.

Started young, and still going.
Good morning all.
A grey, cloudy start to the day here.
Today is Brompton day. I have to go to Hackney Marshes in East London. My son is running a half marathon on Sunday and cannot get there today or tomorrow to get his number and start pack.
A ride down to the local station and then a train to Homerton, and then another ride to the collection point. And then the reverse. My Brompton doesn't get much use these days so it will be nice to give it a go.
On the shorts front, I am still in shorts, and have only worn long trousers a couple of times since March.
At least a month or two to go yet .

Another busy day in paradise :cuppa:

Good morning. A glorious day is dawning, well has dawned in fact, though it is a tad breezy! We have to go home today which is a great shame but we've had an excellent five days in Richmond so fair dos. The plan is to pack up and leave by 10.00, head off for a late breakfast and then wander round Richmond for a while before crossing the border again. I've walked 31 miles this week which is a lot for me. On yesterday's 11.5 mile walk my legs went at 11 miles, completely shot and it was very uncomfortable walking the last half mile to the car. Tonight we are out for a genuine Indian meal cooked by an Indian couple in their own home. It's always VERY good.

It has already been decided we will return for a week next year and my task is to rebook this accommodation ASAP as it is excellent and suits us perfectly.

Make sure you breathe out all of that Yorkshire air before you go home, we don't want any of it going over to the dark side!

Was it a Welbourne's? Them's the best of the bunch (IMHO).
Tradition has it that Little Jack Horner is to blame for the lack of plums.
