Hello people.....just scrolling through my 'old' computer pages and realised I've not got onto TM in aeons.
So where have I been all this time?
Well...Australia, New Zealand and Thailand for Feb, March, April, May up to mid June. Got back and within 4 weeks had sold the motorhome, sold the car and bought another car and a caravan. Yes a caravan...because we're not getting any younger we needed the space and more importantly the comfort we didn't have in the motorhome. Plus it got me a 4wd Tiguan. SWMBO drew the line at a Tuareg....boohoo.
Anyway in the interim....twixt the end of June and now we have been on our wanderings...and yet more upheaval has happened. All but one of my bikes has gone....there's a clearout of trackday stuff going on and we are looking to move!!! The house went on the market last week and we are 'looking'.......somewhere ooop north so beware folks.....hehe
Anyway......sorry for letting TM slide from my consciousness and in between all the goings on I will try to remember you're here more often.
I trust everyone is well, healthy, happy and likewise their families.

Hi guys.....well a bit more time passes and more 'wanderings'. Just got back from a week looking around Staffordshire, Cheshire and N Wales.
OK....first off.....Yogi. More comfort was needed in that the MH was good but not much room indoors for sitting around and a little lacking on space compared to a caravan. The only 'lazing around' area inside was the dinette but the caravan in comparison is huuuuuge.
For the moving thing we've looked at some in Kirkby in Ashfield and Sutton in Ashfield but they were not suitable. We have a favourite in Kidsgrove but the vendors are pi55ing around. We've looked in Hednesford, Nantwich, Deeside and there's one there that has an inside 'wow' factor but no view other than the garden. We are off to N Wales again to view a couple more soon. The attraction there is more 'bungalow' for your buck and some places with amazing views. Also it's only about 1 hour to Judith's family and access to the motorway and airports is pretty good.........but it's not a done deal yet guys so we might still be coming to a 'bungalow......near you'.......hehehehe

Bloody el mate, I'm working at a property in Sutton in Ashfield at the moment. It's only 30 mins for where I live too in Bolsover. Keep hunting, I'm sure the right property will pop up when least expected.

Well ....back again after another round of viewing. Drove up to Connah's Quay on Wednesday morning. Had three viewings, one had amazing views but was just too small despite the massive potential for something awesome by way of a deck and conservatory. The second was pretty much what we are looking for but needs further consideration and the third was an awesome 4 bed place, fabulously fitted out and an awesome conservatory.........but........there's always one somewhere. The outlook extended as far as the end of the garden which was about 15-20 feet away. It felt like being hemmed in on all sides so it's another no no. We spent the night at Judith's brothers place and drove back home yesterday. There's a viewing on ours tomorrow so things are progressing.
I don't think JJ has anything to worry about.....it's almost certain, but never say never....hehe, that we will be plonking ourselves down either somewhere around Kidsgrove (20 or so miles radius) or it will be somewhere on Deeside with a view over the estuary.
Anyway I'm back to immersing myself in the 'estate' agents tinterwebby stuff....so catch you folks later.....
