Mon 7 Aug 18° Lincoln to Cambridge

After a leisurely morning we said goodbye to the family and followed Les to his garage to check out a loose hose Tony found when topping up fluids in the engine yesterday.

They said it was just there to flush out the diesel and nothing to worry about. Whewww.

Thanked Les and said goodbye as we head south.

Got a fill of diesel £1.16 £60 52ltrs. Just out of lovely old village of Bourne. Farmers gathering hay while the sun shines and rolling it into bales in the dry golden fields.

Terrible days drive......the wardrobe door decided to fling itself open,  so I got up to close it, then it did it again and again and again.....what is happening  in here......then the sat nav had a brain explosion.....zig zaged all over the place through country roads.....quite nice and scenic but not back and forwards north south east and west....imagine a compass spinning slowly not knowing where to go.....the co ordinates she could not compute and ended up in a farmers field in St Neots nowhere near where we should be, I just about threw her out of the window agrhhhhhhh. Thank goodness for Google maps.

Thankfully it was a lovely sunny day. When we arrived at our park for the night in Horningsea near Cambridge the only suitable place for motorhome parking was taken by a van with its driver sleeping. Rest of area very lumpy,  pot holes and high bumps but very pleasant outlook over the hay fields.

Pat messaged to say a letter for Tony  arrived,  to be opened immediately.......did we want her to open it...which we said yes......message back to say ring her when we have set up for the night.

We rang and after saying to Les  this morning that we always drive slowly........yep....first ever speeding ticket......36 in a 30mph......while we were looking for Sherwood Forest.......oh well you do the crime, you pay the Fine!   Buggar....still over 10,000 miles not a bad average........but a blot on an unblemished copy book.

Crumbed cod, little boiled potatoes and veges..........a stiff Dram didn't go a miss either.
