We had our first couple of nights free camping which has been great. We're pulled up next to a canal where there's a house boat mored. The guy that owns it (Jerry) is a top guy and has been very reassuring for Jamie as she was a little nervous the first night. He even gave us a couple of beers that he keeps chilled by throwing them in the canal. They may be cool, but have a bit of a funky smell and require washing prior to enjoying.
We dropped Callum the campervan at the mechanic this morning who assures us he will take good care of him. Andrew was a little disturbed when the mechenic looked under the van and the first thing he said was "oooo I've never seen that before" with reference to the location of the engine. Will provide an update as soon as we know more.
Today we're going to the Roman Baths, The Assembly Rooms, lunch in the park with a good book and maybe a canoe down the canal this afternoon if time permits.
Stay tuned for more updates. And please, some more news from home would be great...

Hi there. This your uncle Peter. Now you know I am posting on your blog. I have passed your blogsite to Lisa and she will hopefully post on it.
ReplyDeleteBy now I guess you are mobile again depending on how long it took the guy to fix your clutch. What was he talking about the engine? Must be under the van by the sounds of it.
Weather in Umina is cold and wet at the moment and they are promising more rain. I was supposed to go to Grafton ealier this year but a couple of personal hurdles were put in my way. Maybe next year now.
Take care, PeterG
So you found the cafe/window eh. You know if you stay in Bath too long your hands and feet go all wrinkly?? Mesofunnehhaha.
ReplyDeleteHow did the clutch repair go? Hopefully wasnt something more serious. Oh... news from home if you havent heard, Marky Mark and the funky bunch bought a block of land somewhere near them (I think). In other news... Daisy is beautiful and has started speaking, her first words were "Why did Uncle Andrew and Aunty Jamie have to leave me in my prime developmental months??", yeah I was somewhat surprised too but true story. France soon eh?? Bring some baguettes back for us.
