Back home

Yes back on board after our four night trip to west Wales. We had the best time with our friends Wayne and Emma and their two girls plus Charlotte and her boys. Credit to Wayne who planned each day for us and led the way down some seriously twisty, narrow country lanes!
The kids ran free but were excellently behaved leaving us grown ups to either sit around our improvised fire pit or wallow in the hot tub, spotting shooting stars as we gazed at the Milky Way. Throw in a rather challenging gorge walk and a brilliant firework display at New Quay and we were well satisfied!
Last night was business as usual on board, i.e. Sat in shorts and t shirt with the doors wide open to let the heat out! Actually, the holiday cottages were like that too, seriously cosy even with the radiators off and the oil fired stove on minimum.
Today we planned our next few days and had a morning walk around Pennington Country Park then an afternoon walk in Lilford Park where we saw this amazing display.
The squirrels were out in force today collecting food for winter whilst I was busy collecting twigs. Why? I'll show you tomorrow!
