Kingston Lacy and the motorhome





It was nice to be able to go and collect the motorhome before our trip to Kingston Lacy as the rain was back and it was quite chilly which meant the comfort inside was more than welcome.

The two roof vents had been successfully replaced which means there is no water getting in when it rains but the electric heater is not a simple fuse and would require the whole system being replaced in all likelihood. However, the gas fire does work and it was lovely and cosy when we stopped at Kingston Lacy and had a coffee waiting for the rain to ease. The motorhome is all ready for the year ahead and it feels like it is in good nick to tackle the trips ahead.

We had collected Joy to join us on our trip out and  already had Amelia. We didn't go far in walking round the grounds, just in to the gardens to see the house entrance and to enjoy the last snowdrops. 

On the return home, the guys were finishing off the heating system, installing the new radiators around the house to ensure maximum efficiency in terms of heating and cost. It's been lovely having a warm house without all the fuss.

Just time for a quick 5km run except it was 10 min per mile so not exactly quick. On the other hand, I have been feeling tired and have run or ridden each day for weeks without a break and it took some effort to find the desire to get out again. Nearly finished listening to Slaughterhouse Five on the run.

I think I have been slightly overdoing all the exercise and allotmenting lately and that culminated in feeling so physically tired on Friday...
