Travelling On

themadvix

CBC - that ladder sounds like hard work! And there's nothing wrong with appreciating things/being grateful for them more than once. I may not write it down, but I every time I open the drawer at waist height in my new-in-August kitchen that contains my pyrex bowls I find myself smiling

KC - take care today if you've hurt your back!

You're all making me look at my windows in shame!

Saving the photos is definitely worthwhile work, the memories are wonderful.

Happy Friday Karmcat & friends.

I hope you're well, KC, and that your back isn't playing up. We haven't seen you since Wednesday evening and I hope it's because you're out having fun and not because you're incapacitated. Maybe you've told us that you'll be away somewhere and I missed your posting. I tend to worry about you when you aren't around:o


I hope everyone has a relaxing few days and that the forecast rain and snow don't spoil any of your plans:beer:

Hello lovely people Happy Friday to all

I was at my sister's yesterday - we meant to go straight out for a walk, there are two countryside trails that go through a little village very near to her, and I'd checked them out on our county's online map. But the rain was really intense, and we needed a *lot* of together time for admin about upcoming trips - partly the Terracotta Warriors, and most of all the Norway thing.

Turns out we haven't been in good time to book a hotel near to Newcastle Ferry Terminal and hotels in Newcastle itself are £160+, which neither of us want to pay for a basic hotel room that's just a stepping off point to the real trip. So we've gone for Durham, an interesting little hotel there, and a 13 mile taxi ride to share, that will be fine. We also booked the train tickets up north and down again: since we're near the south coast of England, and our destination is Newcastle, £190 between us for trains up and down, and a night's hotel, is pretty good.

Rain is just as intense today, tsk, so I shan't be doing much outside. I have a bit more space now that I've taken so many photos to my sister's to be sorted eventually, so I'm quite tempted to carry on clearing. We shall see back is still sore, so I'm definitely doing lots of strengthening exercises as a priority.

Bought a pair of yaktrax - been caught out too many times now, wellies are not enough! Used the Amazon vouchers I've been earning from SB, so no expenditure, either

Love my Yaktrax, I wouldn't stir outside in the snow and ice without them. With my hands being weak and painful I find them difficult to put on and off so I now keep them on a spare pair of walking boots all Winter.

Dry, a bit chilly and sunny here ATM, rain due in an hour or so. I have had a little session planting a few Tete a Tete from pots and have been decimating the Alpine Strawberries and Forget Me Nots, but the ground is so wet and claggy. Off out to do a little more before the rain comes:D

Pleased that you have managed to sort your travel arrangements I do like all the loose ends tied up:D

You are all disgusting. My living room windows are sparklingly clean :A.That's because they only go onto the sun room . We won't talk about the windows anywhere else in the house :eek:;). I asked Mr GG to help me last year and he ranted about me being obsessed with cleaning. I replied I didn't think cleaning windows twice a year was excessive :rotfl:. I have to recommend mossie blinds though, they stop you noticing the dirt .


Good progress KC and great result on the CC :T.

Off to google mossie blinds gallygirl.

My windows are grim but I do wipe the dog slobber off the patio doors:p
How's your back? Better I hope .
Have a lovely Easter Karma xx
