How was your weekend ?

Lovely.
We went to Brugge for the weekend with the kids and Jacobs " shes my friend not my girlfriend:Blush: " Helen.
The weather was lovely , bright blue cloudless skies . We hired a horse and trap and had a tour around the city , climbed up the bell tower , walked for miles around the cobbled streets , ate loads of belgian chocolate and chips and mayonaise. :Blush:
There was a prossession through the main street too. Something that we have never seen when we have been there before. Huge brightly coloured floats 2 stories high , no health and safety here each with very loud speakers playing music. Pulled by huge tractors with enormous wheels. Throwing sweets into the crowds lining the narrow streets. Firing confetti all over the place. Brass bands and children dancing ending with what we think , was the mayor and mayoress in all their finery in an open top car. It was really good.

Now the kids are older , we get more " our" time whilst on board. As the kids love to wander around the ferry and do their own thing .
Ralph and I sat in Lanagans wine bar , before dinner as we set sail , with a bottle of champers and watched the huge moon setting over the sea.
( thankyou lady for the £20 )

These P&O weekend breaks are a great change to the weekends away in the motorhome but you do end up coming home half a stone heavier , with all the food on offer on board . Infact too many of them and I wouldn't need a blow up fat fairy suit.

Glad you all are making the best of the weather,we have just got back from the Mablethorpe Bike Fest weekend,great weather for a change great stunt show on Saturday,and the last of the beach races on Sunday and all free so folks didn't mind filling the buckets up for the air ambulance fund. spent the night on the Haven site Golden Sands only £12 and we are sure we could hear our lads leaving R.A.F Coningsby to visit Gadafi !!!

We had our first weekend away this year, at a CL a couple of miles before Mablethorpe and heard you on the beach. We parked at the seal sanctuary so that Ellie could have a run on the beach and thought the noise must be coming from the Go karts at Golden Sands.

However, it's been tough on our wallets this weekend. We stopped at O'Leary's at Beverley to get a new water pump, which Sandy fitted before we set off again, then our full tank of water was empty on Sunday morning as a result of a leak under the basin in the bathroom. So we stopped at Magnum Motorhomes (an absolute treasure chest) in Grimsby and bought a new tap and pipes for the bathroom which Sandy also had to fit. I'm just off out to fill the tank and see if the leak has stopped now.

BTW, the CL we stopped at was lovely and we were the only ones there. There was a lovely shower and toilet block too.

Had a great time in Liverpool.Went for the St Patrick's day celebrations and got back home this afternoon "Tuesday".
Was surprised to see so many Irish spending the weekend there,and was told its cheaper to come over for the weekend than stay in Dublin paying £4.50p £5.00 a pint.The many Irish bars did a roaring trade and the craic was good.
Had a ride on the Liverpool wheel and a walk round docklands which must admit have changed a lot since I used to load out of there.
All in all a great weekend was had.

Between rugby matches and bouts of uncontrollable sobbing, me and sian hung a gate and did some fencing ( John and Kath (Champers) had helped concrete the posts in a couple of weekends ago)

We now have a CFL entrance

Between rugby matches and bouts of uncontrollable sobbing...

That explains the noise I heard Saturday night. I thought the police were testing a new siren... :hardhat:
