For all you 'over-ponders' and newbies--oh and Helen! :p
After years of touring/towing with a little 'mobile home' (about an eighth of an American RV), this year, in January, I bought a bigger van on my 'favourite' site at Beverley, just 8 miles up the road.
8 days after I bought it, I had my first cancer symptoms--numb lip--and by the time I was actually going there to enjoy it from Easter, had intensely painful swollen jaw, men with little knives inside lip and a horrible feeling I might only have a few weeks to enjoy it!
The rest is history - I got an initial diagnosis of jaw carcinoma, hideous surgery suggested, then CT scan showed lung was Primary--Thank Goodness for the cancellation of surgery!
My diary shows I took it 'One week at a time'--pessimistically (SP??)
And now, here I am, still alive and kicking, having enjoyed a whole season of weekends at my 'van'.
And I may even go up there again in a couple of weeks to plant some bulbs in my tubs for Spring!
Sorry, just needed to post that!

Usually, father Chrismas sleigh is drawn by real reindeer, but they can't come this year because of the BlueNose outbreak, which is a shame!

19 degrees is exceptional warm for November . The normal daytime temprature in the UK is about 10 degrees with a dip to 3 or 4 degrees at night.
In yorkshire it is usually just plain freezing at this time of year lol.
Gary i am so old i dont know how to convert but i think in olden days it would have been about 58 degrees.Does that help!!!
Blue tongue disease is affecting our cattle and sheep who have to be slaughtered if they contract it.
As its name suggests,it is charecterised by the animal developing a blue tongue.
the good news is that only animals who contract it need to be slaughtered unlike foot and mouth which requires whole herds to be destroyed once one case has been confirmed.
The poor UK farmers have been plagued by sporadic out breaks of both these diseases this summer and it means that movement of live stock is restricted and farmers cant take their stock to markets,or sell them for slaughter.
