Hi everybody, sorry that I have not blogged for a while.
We decided that, because of the bad weather we would return to the UK. We hit snow about 20k south of Madrid, it was so bad that we could not get on a pitch at a site outside of Madrid on the night of the 11th. On Tuesday the 12th we headed out, it took us a while to clear the heavy traffic around the city, but the roads were clear. Then we hit a hill and, because of the snow, nearly did not get up it, just managed to retain traction. We arrived in Calais on the afternoon of the 13th, snow all the way. On our arrival at the site in Dover we had to be towed in by tractor.
A week later Keith recieved a phone call to say that one of his sisters had been admitted to hospital and was very ill. Drop everything and head for Dorset. We will say no more except, that we await developments.
Our life at the moment is in a state of flux and we are using the time to research possible destination and make some draft plans. The best bit is that we get to enjoy the company of our children and grand children.

It was good to see you the other day at the RAD centre, your dry wit is greatly missed.
I marvel at your adventurous expedition into the unknown. I wish you well on your journey and safe passage to wherever you end up.
Good luck mate to you and yours.

Hi Keith I hope all is well with you and your’s. Not seen any fresh entries for a while, unless I am looking in the wrong place
Every thing is shutting here soon and moving to Holloway. It was good while it lasted and some are continuing on up there and some are not.
Wish you well and good fortune. Alan
