I'm Back!!

Well, back successfully from not so sunny Blackpool. It was an alright break but not much of a holiday. Some days we had gorgeous sunshine, others gale force rain. Well it is September so I shouldn't complain. We normally go across to North Berwick in Lothian, Scotland and for some reason we always seemed to get reasonable weather. Maybe we will go back there next year.

It certainly brought out the class divide. I'm firmly middle class and most of the people were working class or old age pensioners. Nothing wrong with that , but I felt it was just not my scene. Fish and Chips and Hen/Stag parties all abound.

On Holiday

From tomorrow night I will be on holiday for a week. So there will be no more updates. I am taking the caravan and the wife to Blackpool to see the Illuminations. In all our years we have never seen them. We used to go to Blackpool quite regularly but it was always early in the season. Let's hope it does not rain too much!!

Well I'm Back

Yep, back from a sweltering Turkey. It was HOT. 45 degrees in the shade. I have no idea what it was in the sun but it was just too hot. I'll try and upload some pictures. Icmeler is a lovely place and I would go back but not in July. May or September seem to be the best months, or so we were informed by the locals.

You may have noticed a small (grin) logo on the right. Click on it to take you to a site that has a very interesting premise. They are trying to see if the random number generators on casino web sites are not as random as they might think and they feel that, with enough statistics, it may be possible to 'predict' the results. It may or may not work, but I have run with it in test mode and changed a £2000 bank into a £3000 bank inside a week. That is impressive. Go on, have a look. It may be worth joining www.money-maker-machine.com to see what you can do.

Summer Holiday

Well I am about to go on my Summer Holiday. A week lying on a Turkish beach relaxing. I hope I like it. I normally go in a caravan down to England but that is a bit soggy at the moment, due to the recent floods.

Talk to you when I get back.

Arghhhh - Holidays

I was planning on going on holiday in just over a fortnight. We have a touring caravan and take it to various parts of the United Kingdom over the course of a year. Well we were due to go down to Tewksbury for a site by the river Avon. That was the plan. Till torrential rain has caused severe flooding of the town and the site is under a couple of feet of water!!!! Now even if the water subsides I don't think the site will be in a fit state to use by the time we get there (on Friday the 13th would you believe!!).

So last night the wife and I started to try and find alternatives. Well as most of Southern England is flooded we discounted them. The North is either booked or sites we do not want to go to. So we thought, why not go abroad. Oh Boy. Talk about spoilt for choice. The problem is my wife and I could not agree on a place to go. I fancy Turkey (we have never been there) but my wife wants Menorca (we have been there several times). I don't know where we will end up at this short notice but it could be an interesting visit to the travel agents tonight.

Holidays - Next Year

I am being an absolute devil at the moment {grin}. Both my wife and I love visiting friends in Buffalo Grove, in Illinois (just north west of Chicago) but because of the need for some house alterations we didn't go last year. Well, I just looked up the fares on KLM from Glasgow to O'Hare Chicago and planted the seed of a trip next spring. KLM's prices are very good and we avoid Manchester or Heathrow.

My wife loves the shopping in the US and we have a GREAT time with our friends there.

The problem is I need a new car, the house is still not finished and we really should spend the money at home. But what the heck. Life is for living!!!!! Watch this space. It will either be caravan holidays this year (don't get me wrong, we do enjoy these holidays and it means we can get 4 of them in a year) or a trip to Chicago and 2 caravan holidays. Time will tell.
