She is ok!

We have made two visits to Yelvertoft in the last couple of weeks, both short and sweet as she was very cold!  We decided to leave no heat on which we hope will mean no condensation and so far so good.  The only issue was on the first visit the central heating header tank pipe had been leaking, this is a reoccurring problem but John tightened the clips up and all seems to be ok again now, but we have left a bowl under it in case it does drip again.

We also called at Whalin Upholstery to collect a Houdini bung that Darren had made for us.  It fits like a glove so he is making us two more.  We also took him the dinette seating and he is going to make us some wedges to go behind the cushions which in theory should bring the back of the dinette seating out slightly and make it more comfortable.  We did say that there was no rush for either but he has rung today to say they are ready for collection!



We have been to York and Lincoln recently and I thought I would share these photos with you.







We would like to wish all our blog readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

A trip to see the seals


We are settling into life at home, John is feeling much better, his cold has nearly gone!

Yesterday we went to Donna Nook to see the Grey Seals, it is one of the largest seal colonies in the UK.  Its a seal watchers paradise at this time of year as the seals come in to give birth and the bulls also come in to mate, so there are lots of seals on the dunes.  We saw lots but there are still many more to arrive so we may go back in a couple of weeks.  Its an amazing sight, but its not just the sight, the sound is also very eerie, we saw a couple of bulls fighting as well as many pups, some which were only hours old.   As the tide was coming in, we could see more arriving in the distance.  Whats weird is this is a bombing range for the RAF, as you can see on some of the photos below (they do stop at this time of year).
