Brrr! First frost

Temperatures dropped like a stone last night. 

Our security post was frozen into the ground - unfortunately boiling water cured the problem so work was still on the cards for the employed member of the household!

 

The heavy frost took my plants rather by surprise - but made for some fun photos.

Hooray for UK stopover information for motorhomes!

Just found this site listing - fantastic! At last there may be an increasing number of councils giving some consideration to motorhome overnighters (and overheighters!) Here's the overnight parking link, keep up the good work, let's use these stopovers when we can and make our needs known!

I love the AA

Had a great weekend away in Gloucestershire. Despite the forecasts of gales and squalls, there was a bit of good weather as well as the good company of friends.

Oddy the camper decided to show a red warning light on the way there and as the handbook said 'stop immediately', we thought we had better do just that! The really heavy traffic meant it was about an hour and a half before the the Automobile Association could get to us.  By the time the motorhome was on the back of the relay wagon it was chucking it down. It was OK for us, tucked by then in the AA truck, but who'd be an AA man in that weather?

Half an hour later in the services, it was checked over and all found to be OK - the verdict was an over-sensitive warning light! All that and we still arrived in time for lunch. Thank you AA men everywhere. I salute you!! I notice you received the Which Best Buy award this year - you deserve it.
