So today I find myself sat in our conservatory, yes it's finished, (apart from painting the skirting boards)! waiting for 2 tonnes of shingle to arrive to finish off the patio area we are having built at the moment.
The house is nearly done, we have done quite a bit in the year that we have been here. We have kept costs to the minimum as this is not our "forever" house. But, it's all looking good.
Wedding plans are gathering speed, March 2016 will soon be here and once more we are keeping costs to a minimum.
I'm still on the buses, but for how much longer is anyone's guess.
I've managed a trip away on "Lucille" my trusty Honda C90 - I went to North Wales for a few days camping on my own. I stayed at a camp site called Riverside Camping which is just a mile from Caernarfon heading towards the Llanberis Pass. I was last here with my parents when just a young lad!
I got back late Thursday night, riding 312 miles in 13 hrs and it poured with rain all day! I spent the day Friday drying and sorting things out then on Saturday we headed to my old Army mate's Mark's house for his daughters 18th birthday that evening up in the Wirral (Liverpool)
It was great to catch up!
We took the VW T25 Camper Van with us as we needed somewhere to sleep on the Saturday night and then we headed to the Lake District and camped on Coniston Lake. Six steps front the door of the camper and my feet would of been wet.
The name of the site was Pier Cottage - highly recommended, a little pricey but worth the money for the location.
Coniston is a just a little village but it does have a few pubs with some great food on offer and all within a 10 minute walk of the camp site.
The Lake district is one of those places which I have often travelled through but never actually spent much time in. This will now change as we found the area enchanting.
I've missed loads out of all our going's on, I would still be writing in a weeks time if I included everything.
It's still great to read through some of the comments, to see that there are folk out there living their lives the way they want to and not how society believe we should do. Keep it up folks.
Of and don't forget if you want to see what we are up to on a more regular basis you can get me on Facebook, the link to my page is to the right of this! But please send me a message telling me something about yourself. I get the odd friend request and I have no idea if you are friend or spam. So if I have not replied I've got you down as spam. So say hello so I know your real.
Well, for the regulars out there, I hope all is well in your worlds, and so my journey continues as I hope does yours.
Till later..........
Nice to see an update Jools, and glad things are going well for you.
ReplyDeleteI was in North Wales myself just recently, another stay on Anglesey of just over a week, coming home just three days ago - photos and write-up to go on my blog in the next few days so do check it out if you have time.
Hi Jools - great to read about how things are going with you. We are too old to want to bother with Facebook, so will just have to wait patiently till you blog again. Best of luck with the wedding plans, March will be here before you know it!
