Packing for winter

As usual we are nearly there in packing the van away. Last Friday I spent the morning cleaning and Aggers will be pleased.
For the first ever time I fiddled away at all the grooves, channels and corners which attract algae, even small plants I found, with a minute defunct oil painting brush, scrubbing brush and hose pipe.
I spent yesterday on the whole body and intended to get the cover on then Carole came back after a day out on the Forest and said she was too tired.
So this morning I have towelled the complete body again.
Now off to Bournemouth for the police speed awareness course and then dinner at Chez Freds a superb Fish and Chip shop and restaurant in Westbourne so I fear it will be repeato tomorrow.

Out of its current context, this makes for a very strange post indeed.

You left a window slightly ajar, and it's given everybody a glimpse into a world they were perfectly happy not knowing about...

Yep, it sounds like Tommy's Uncle Ernie with all that fiddling about (The Who)

Normally we would be doing the same but motorhomer friends have persuaded us to join them this weekend at a fireworks party. It's being organised by a local motorhome dealer. We will be the only caravan and an Eriba to boot in a field of 300 motorhomes. Mind you, 2 nights pitch (off grid), a fireworks party and free food all for £25 for the two of us. Can't be bad. We shall have to take our own wine but hey ho.
Don't have a cover yet, just ordered one but I suspect it will be a while before we can cover the Eriba.

We are going to Trewethett Farm CC site this weekend hopefully get a good pitch ready to watch firework display at Tintagel. Saturday night will be fish and chips from Tintagel chippie before settling down to watch display with a few sherbets
