Morning all, 8 degrees and bright this morning.  Forecast if for a sunny day with the temp getting up to the 18 or 19 mark.

Take care if your on your travels

Sunny and bright start today, although it was only 7° first thing but rising to the dizzy heights of 20. Tomorrow high of 21c but rain forecast all day again. Need it to be dry for few days as going for weekend to Cheshire Steam Show, those traction engines won't be able to run on soft ground.

Out at dawn with Tag, then of to Filey brigg for the day, roasting hot by mid morning ,light sea breeze , East Yorkshire air ambulance came onto beach around midday, dropped of two paramedics and took of again ,came back an hour later..
Great day out.

A bright and dry day here today for a change. Unfortunately I still can’t do my repairs until things dry out a lot more and tomorrow it’s forecast rain. I will have the new wood on Wednesday but I suppose the job is best left for now. Hopefully I can get it done before our next trip late August. 

Turned to be a lot warmer and drier than expected. Had a lovely meet up with IanH and his good lady who came to our van for coffee. Thanks for taking the time to visit and the heads up on all the suitable places to visit with the mobility scooter. Much appreciated

Bright if a touch overcast this morning.  10 degrees but rain forecast for this afternoon..

Somewhere near Angers this morning and woken by heavy rain and thunder storms
Forecast is same until much later in the day.
Take care if you are on the road and have a great day

High of 22 today here but rain predicted all day. Its already rained right through the night so prediction looking correct.

As much as it feels quite warm this morning the wind has picked up and it is chucking it down. I opened the door whist I made breakfast but muttly hasn’t ventured out.
I certainly won’t be doing any outdoor work but I have to see my foot lady later this morning.

AND. it worked! Not a single molecule got in!

Raining here now but quite light, rest of week forecast isn't great I'm afraid.

Now, perhaps not the correct place to post this but, mainly for Bilbo, but, reason for putting it on here, for all, this is the best place to get your gas tank filled up round here...

Phone first though..

Thanks Ian, glad you stayed dry and repair worked 

Since we are on ehu every night this trip lpg consumption is minimal and I don't expect to need to top up until the end of this trip, we are staying at Borough bridge CCC for a couple of nights on way back north after going to Doncaster balloon festival, and plan is to top up LPG at Morrisons there.

Rain was impressive here overnight but dry at the moment.

(I do have mylpg and Autogas apps on phone if things go belly up and need to top up.)

What a difference a day makes heavy rain started around 2 am and hasn’t really stopped, Monday was a smashing day out.
Have a nice day.

A warm and dry start this morning. I got up early to receive the wood  I have ordered for my repairs. The courier said it will be here between 7-12.
Whilst I was making a brew I received a text from Royal Mail saying my parcel will be delivered between 0927-1127.
I can’t see posty with 3 mtr of bubble wrapped timber. Apparently part of the order is coming from a different depot.
When we had the Duetto or my Landrovers getting building materials was easy. Even if I dig the trailer out to tow behind the Rienza long lengths of timber are not easy. 
All I need now is the weather to dry up enough to get the job done.

One extremely loud clap of thunder yesterday evening and more rain but stopped before bedtime, dry overnight,  bright and sunny start today, high of 17.

Dried up around dawn for a good walk with Tag, mild again although. Dreich.
Have a nice day,take care if your on tour.

Thunder didn't happen to be just before 10pm by any chance? May have just been collective roar from England given events in Germany.

It was a good job I made a start on the repairs yesterday because everything is damp again today. Yesterday seemed warmer than I expected so I charged into the repairs. By tea time I had to stop because I had run out of sealant. 
This morning I now realize maybe I should have packed in a bit earlier. My joints and back are telling me I am not as flexible as I thought so a day off is called for.
We are going out with daughter for breakfast whist her other half is kipping after a night shift.

Back in Roscoff ready for the ferry to Plymouth this afternoon
Dry and overcast, surfline charts show a smooth crossing and should be home about 11pm
Discussions about the being our last trip and selling the van, love it but we are back to Vancouver Island in early September with an open return. Just see the van being parked up for best part of eighteen months, problem is of course if sold it is virtually irreplaceable as we would never find another one this well kept or with the spec we have.
Hoping for a few dry days to get on with jobs at home,
Have a great day all

The sun is out to welcome you back, GH. Mind you, by 11pm it won’t matter

It’s a very bad time to sell vans at the moment. Dealers forecourts are awash with them.

Raining at dawn, dried up around 10, good walk with Tag ,lots of dog walkers out .
Have a nice day.
