And we're off

 All packed and ready and off we go.....it's raining, well showery actually, but who cares.

We're just going to lay the new vinyl flooring in the bathroom today, and then probably do nothing.  If husband feels like doing any more (like decorating the bathroom) then we will, but I don't mind if he'd rather have the weekend off.  He's worked so hard, he deserves some time off.  I've bought him a stack of DVDs from the charity shop, so he'll enjoy watching those.  I've got a pile of books and some magazines, so it'll be feet up and reading for me.  We're having easy ready-cooked meals for our dinners, and Ploughmans for lunches, so no major cooking for me either.  (For overseas readers, a Ploughman's lunch is a plate of cheeses, cold meats or pork pie, with pickles and crusty bread.  Some fruit goes nice with it too, a sliced apple or some grapes eg).

I wonder what Betty will make of her first night in the van?  If she doesn't settle, I'll go and sleep in the lounge with her.  Our neighbours in the vans on both sides of us have all gone home for a few days, so it'll be very peaceful there, I imagine (depending on how many touring vans are there for the weekend).

I may try a short post on my phone tomorrow, otherwise I'll post again when we're home Monday evening.

  7. Oh how lovely to have a quiet, peaceful weekend with no close neighbours, just birdsong- even the patter of rain on the roof is soothing, so slow down your pulse rate and relax with magazines and cups of tea.
    Did hubby manage to get the TV sorted and will he be watching The Match? Mind you, that will increase the pulse rate again!
    Enjoy your lovely weekend break; you both deserve to switch off completely.
