Just caught up with this thread..

And counted the number of tea bags on Maggie's line.. You're bragging !. Terry.
Flash bu99er !

No decent, thrifty Yorkshire woman would have that many teabags in circulation at the same time... They might get nicked.
Barnsley..?
Being from North Leeds, anyone living South of Wakefield, (which is on the outskirts of North London ) .. is a Cockney Millionaire.
Have you got the van packed and ready , Peter ?

Don’t know The Old Customs House Wetherspoons pub in Portsmouth.
We have the Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Sir John Baker or the Sir Alec Rose, all Wetherspoons pubs.
We will be having a beer 🍺 in the Admiral Drake on the Rudmore roundabout which is less than 5 mins walk to the ferry, it’s a good pub which does fair food, it’s also close to our parking spot at the car park at the causeway to Whale Island.
 
Ok folks, that's it. Bath and bed now. Tomorrow we'll squeeze in the last of Sue's junk and slowly drift southwards to the wet bit at the end, and after one of Mr Wetherspoons meals we'll park up for the night and then catch the early ferry to Spain. A fellow member has threatened to maybe bump into us with, I hope minimal damage, but it will be good to meet up with a fellow eejit. So my friends, I'll pop up occasionally with messages and the odd piccies If and when I am able to sort out the technology, but what I really must do is give thanks. To Terry, Graham and Kath, Paul and Jenny and everyone else who have offered encouragement to this daft old soul.
That's it mi owd luvs

Catch you when I can sometime twixt now and April

Easy does it.
Go carefully.
Especially if you get into bad company at Wetherspoons.
You know what these Diesel Gipsies are like.
Don't let them make you miss the ferry.
 
Anybody seen or heard from The old boy ?
Did he make Wetherspoons?I
It's he still there?
Did he get to the ferry?
Has he got a good supply of sick bags ?

No, yes, yes, and less of the old boy thing, I'm sensitive and am easily hurt!! So if you really want the T bags, marmite and mustard powder, remember that I can always add delivery charges 😀

Preliminary sorting of the van has started .... just waiting on the dreaded driving licence! We hope to be away by next weekend 👍🏻👍🏻 But nothing booked yet. We plan to go through France towards Perpignan for a change but depends on the weather... all very flexibl.
 
Update, off the ferry and time to set the satnag..........blessed Europe maps gone...oh poo. The poi s are there but not the damned maps. Fortunately I brought the car one as a backup that my dear friend here inserted duplicate files, and now we're parked up I'm going to chill out and drink a bit, then throw the blessed thing down the van
Bother

I'm near Montpellier and there's no issues with the weather other than a bit of rain...
