Good news!

We're over the hump, the winter solstice occurred in the early hours of this morning 22 Dec 2015.

This means that the days are now getting longer, and it's now only 180 days until the longest day!

It's midwinter and we haven't even needed winter tyres yet (a set of paddles maybe). Winter is suffering from DSG delay .

Soon it will be time to refill the water tank, clear out all the out of date cans in your Cali and stock up for the new season.

Unfortunately it will bring yet another birthday, but still, I can't wait

Looking forward to another year!

Starlight must have just had her first Birthday as she was pre-registered.
I took out all the jars and can as I noticed that they encourage condensation and damp.
Bring on longer days. Can't wait to be "On the road again, yeah baby, on the road again..."

Just finished packing. Fridge full. Mulled Wine ready for arrival. Off to London Crystal Palace for a Christmas with a difference. Sun is out as well.
Plans for 2016 well advanced. 2016 here we come.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

I am having to wait until 3rd Jan before I slip Albert's mooring rope ... well, the orange thing that plugs into a socket on the wall.

I really can't wait, get away from the sunny but damp south coast for somewhere exotic.

Oldham here we come !!!

Be careful. Someone is bound to tell you off for leaving it plugged in for so long, or are you using it for the Champagne and Prosseco?

We've just plugged ours in for exactly that reason. Too warm to use the plastic box outside the back door as the overflow fridge.
PLUS it's a good place to escape to if the going gets tough with banter from the guests!

Just pitched up at Crystal Palace. It's half empty although when I booked back in October I had the last place.
Christmas Tree up as well.

What a poseur!

Christmas tree on the dash

Bet you have sausage rolls warming up in the 12v oven somewhere ... oh! Selhurst CC site... hook up.... the posh 220v oven!

Goodness, tinsel all around the porta potty as well I bet ...

Great to read all these Christmas plans being made!

We were in Chester today with the grand daughter, the weather was brilliant. Had a walk in the park feeding the squirrels peanuts which they loved, climbing up us and eating out of our hands (until one mistook my finger for a nut ); then a walk around the walls - highly recommended!

We parked down at the Roodee right next to the river; and I believe that they allow motorhomes to stay here overnight (£1.20), Google it before you go. Tempted myself but we only live 6 miles away!

You can just about see our van parked up in the picture taken from the opposite of the river here



Incidentally, that is not too far from nowhere!



Hope everyone has a great Christmas
