Almost a month since the last Blog!! I can't believe I've left it that long. probably because not a lot has been happening - not interesting stuff anyway.
We've been to a couple of shows - Wilmslow and NAWS - enjoyed both, had some lovely courses to run, but came away with nothing despite some outstanding work from Boy Bryn (and some c**p work from me...) We've had another training session with Lucy Osborne which was great fun - lots of laughter at these sessions, and lots of work too - we worked on distance handling which Bryn and I love doing, so I was fairly relaxed for a change.
The camper is supposed to be going in today to have the glitches from new sorted, but the battery has completely died (one of the glitches is the way it is losing power so quickly) and the camper has decided that it will not open its doors even for the manual key rather than the electronic one. 'They' are coming out to pop the bonnet from underneath, jump start it and take it back to the service garage to be dealt with. In theory, that is, because the country has ground to a halt with the worst November snows in millions of years - or something like that. I have to admit that I wouldn't want to try to get the camper off my drive with about 4 inches of uncleared snow on the road - it's pretty tight at the best of times, and I am used to doing it. I certainly wouldn't want to drive it down and up steep winding hills to the service garage in these conditons - it's virtually brand new!! I'd hate it to skid or slip or whatever.
My parents have moved rooms in the Nursing Home and the change seems to be going well. Weather conditions permitting, my dad's new purpose-made wheel chair should arrive this week, which should make life a lot more comfortable for him, and make getting out and about more feasible, we hope.
Snowing again now - I think the only thing to do is to take the dogs for a lovely snowy winter walk - get all of our systems operating properly!! Yay!!
