Typical!

Well here it is the 16th of June 2010, I'm back at work tomorrow after a short break in Bristol (for my youngest grandson's baptism) and another for five days at Primrose Valley Holiday Park.  The weather? well it's been pretty rotten actually UNTIL today and here we are at 08:24 hrs and the sun is 'cracking the pavement'.  Had a very nice surprise when I saw Noah (said grandson) as he was walking and took one look at me, held out his arms and came toddling over, he normally turns to his mother and starts screaming the place down.  On the Sunday at his baptism he was very well behaved, not a murmur out of him.  I also went to RAF Nether Avon to see my son use his birthday present, a tandem parachute jump consisting of a 40 sec free-fall and 5 mins gentle glide to the ground, they reached speeds of up to 149 m.p.h  He enjoyed it and started working out how much it would cost as a hobby...........HOW MUCH??????  So after a drive up from Bristol Sunday evening it's up early Monday for a drive to Filey, North Yorkshire.  Only 80+ miles away across the moors.  It was a very pleasant drive along some very winding and undulating roads but it only took a couple of hours.  The caravan was very nice, though the lay out slightly awkward with 2 bedroom doors and the loo door opening into the same space.  If the weather had been a lot nicer it would've been a very good stay as it was a Haven site and had the usual facilities.  I was disappointed with Scarborough though, the place was just 'dead' maybe it was the weather I don't know.  In general I wouldn't mind going back there for a 7 night stay with better weather just to give it a fair shot.  No news so far from Arriva, so I think I can probably kick that into touch, it's been a fortnight now.  Need to look about and see what's going on.
