Dear Ladylol Pusser - don't quite know how the others have all got on to Manchester etc
. To be boring and drag us back to your thread, I'll also be pedantic and gently suggest - no offence intended - that a heated caravan is not actually camping in the puritanical sense of the word.
Tents, girl........., that's the thing, puts hairs on your chest - won't need the thermals then -
Seriously its a lovely part of Wales. A friend and I worked in a guest house on the front at Towyn when we were seventeen, to get money to go on a rock-climbing and canoeing course in Snowdonia. We would walk to Aberdovey along the sand, as the tide went out for miles, on our afternoons off.(It obviously went out for miles every time, not just for us) This was in 1961, I think. Anyway it was the year that the Lady Chatterly book trial was on as I bought the book there where no-one would know me and tell my mother.
I had been doing Domestic Science at school(being 'B' stream) and could sew after a fashion. The Boarding House landlady discovered this in conversation and I spent the rest of the month making loose covers in blue flowered chintz for all the little individual arm chairs using a treadle sewing machine. My friend who was in the 'A' division at school, did science proper, and so she had to clean and work in the kitchen.
We both had to pitch in to make the pack lunches, mountains of pale cut-bread sandwiches. Butter -except it wasn't - thinly round the edges and the middles will take care of themselves. The fillings were an assortment of undistinguishable potted paste stuff. Supposed to be chicken, ham, beef, or fish. Barely different in shades of pinky orange, and no different at all in taste, except for the fish which was greyer and saltier.
Happy days - weather here pretty grim at the moment - Powys - if it improves I may come and find you!!! Will you take a 'puter on holiday to keep us all informed of your adventures in the Principality?
Best wishes

Hi Mac - I'm right on Hampshire/Surrey/Berkshire borders. I'm near Farnborough, Blackbushe and Lasham (now gliding I think) is not far away near Alton. Popham is down the A303.
My daughter was at Uni and has alway lived and worked in Manchester since then. Jx

oh im thinking of doing that for dog

did it the frst year we were together he was so surprised

r u taking poppy with u
she will love it

xxxx

Mac, very lucky.

My dad's had several colonoscopies. Have you got your sachets of picolax? Don't plan to do anything at all the day before except sit near the loo.

Hi Mac - I hope you don't think I was 'getting at you' with my posting earlier. So sorry to hear how poorly you have been - do you live in Manchester area now? Will be thinking of you on Wednesday. Love Jx

Dear lord, Mac, it's amazing you're still alive.

Pseudomonas is damned nasty, did you sue them? I think I would have. Even treating the Pneumonia can prove difficult because of it being multi-drug resistant.

Can I mention now how much I still hate the microbiology labs at uni even though I actually did learn something?

Hope you all enjoy holiday during half term week.

Mac (The Old Geezer) - I went into hosp Christmas Day - exhausted and could not breath - came out 22 days later, been home just over two weeks and now finished meds and still not as well as I thought I might be, can breath ok but walking not yet up to speed, right hand side of my still hurts some of the time - go back to see Chest specialist in two weeks - so don't jest about Pneumonia - it's not pleasant especially having r.h.lung drainage procedure. Jx

Ah Puss, but the trailer tent has these flaps that flap out with legs on that make two small double beds. I'm not sure they'd take the weight of two people though they were iffy enough just with one on lol. They only have a thin foam mattress on so I ended up with a mattress of pillows just so I could sleep. Woke up really sore though...part of the reason we cut the holiday short (the other reason being the barn that had a fire on the sunday and an owner who never even thanked us for alerting the fire brigade and the people who were minding the site/house and saving everything). Put me off camping for life lol.

done the tenting thingy for years but couldnt get of the air bed in the end , loved it though well george your more than welcome to come for a cuppa its hendre hall we are going behind the mansion, and the railway line runs just in the next feild , off to catherines in a min see ya all later xxx

Ahhhh heated caravan... the luxury of such camping... try it in a trailer tent *mutters about 4 hours to put the damn thing up with two invalids and one clueless woman*

Hilary

Thank you for that little bit of info. I know we used to walk to Tywyn from the camp, i have never been back there since my army days , so it was 1953 when i was there.
In those days the camp itself had its own railway station, i suppose its all gone now.

George

sorry went on poop alert
we will be in a heated caravan so we should be ok
will pop into asda sounds good pair of passion killers lol

George - Tonfanau only next door now when travelling by train, as the road bridge is no longer there! A lot of the hill between the two has sadly been quarried out.

OMG you are nuts! it was cold enough camping in September. And given how cold it is now.... better find a local guest house just incase your tent blows away lol. Thermals and duvet coats required.

Caz, well I know they say love will keep you warm but not sure it works so well if you've *both* got hypothermia pml

Hi sweetpea,

Bet specky will keep ya warm lol!!

Have a good time,

Caz xxx

Aberdovey just doesn't sound hot.

You ARE mad!
