Another visit to the garage

Driving back from King's Lynn there was a horrible squealing coming from the front of the van, plus more screeching when I braked. So it is booked in to the garage tomorrow for more work. I wonder if they can fix the oil drip too?

I've decided to stick with a Romahome Hylo, but will start looking for a newer model, maybe with heating. I like the fact I can go down any lane or into any car park, and not have to worry about getting stuck! I don't really need more space, there is only so much room you need to lounge around doing crosswords.

King's Lynn - the Autumn rally

An interesting long weekend down at King's Lynn. It was arranged by SMCF again, and around 45 people came along in 30 vans. And about 70 dogs.

Wells-next-the-Sea

It was lovely weather so I went to the beach on Friday. Wells-next-the-Sea was packed, so moved on to Old Hunstanton, where I lounged around on a blanket for a couple of hours and felt the sand between my toes; I can't remember the last time I did that.

Old Hunstanton

Met some great new women - Clare, MaryJ, Angela and others, and feasted on burgers kindly supplied by Brian R.

Saturday BBQ

Sunday was Heritage Day in King's Lynn with many buildings open to the public that would normally be closed e.g. solicitors, offices, homes and gardens. Spent almost the whole day walking round exploring and could have done with an extra day really.

Pictures: True's Yard smokehouse museum, Tuesday Market Square, Custom House, Town Hall and Gaol, Greenland Fisheries (1605), St Nicholas' angel roof, monument to King's Lynn maritime explorers.

The honeymoon is over....

On my way home last night a horrible deep rasp-berrying started bellowing from under the van. Looking underneath, the end of the exhaust looks all frayed and as if a bit might have dropped off. Although I don't know what it looked like before if truth be told.

Booked in for an exhaust check on Tuesday. It has done 82,000 miles, and I have started eyeing up Nu Venture vans. Is there an Ashley Madison for campervan drivers?
