A bit of Sun today and shopping

Well after the usual breakfast and getting more Caravan Insurance quotes which make it possible for us to leave our caravan here in Waterrow it also means that I have to cancel the current caravan Insurance, which is a loss of money as I have paid for a year from April 1st, and open an new insurance policy which enables me to leave the van here. Oh well its only money. However to miss out on this would be painful.

The sun keeps popping in and out in between the rain however the weather forecast being talked about for next week, we understand,  will be a considerable improvement only though if you trust the forecasters?

We left the site around 12.30 and headed off to Wellington to the Waitrose Supermarket which is actually a very nice one, complete with a small cafĂ© which supplies all the morning papers for you to read and also Wi-Fi free of charge whilst having your snack and also toilets, which if you know Waitrose in Weybridge it has nothing like this. The drive there through the country lanes sometime only 7 feet wide can be a bit tortuous if somebody comes the other way, which they do, so we shall return via the main roads. When we were last week we saw they had some small BBQ’s as a special offer for £ 40.00 and now they were reduced to £ 30.00 to clear and so we took one for our van. We then visited the Fish counter and that looked Ok also and according to the server, they have a delivery every day now that the fishmonger down the road has closed down anyway we bought some cod for tonight and hope that its Ok.

The drive home was about ten minutes longer than the country lanes but less work for the driver and we then did a quick drive through in Wiveliscombe ( called Wivvy by the locals) and their was not much there apart from a Co-op and a couple of other shops. All the way home the sun was shining and we unpacked the shopping and got ready to sit outside in the sun only it started to rain again.

Well the cod from Waitrose was pretty damn good and together with noodles and beansprouts and some wine went down a treat. After dinner we watched some BBC iPlayer programmes before hitting the sack around 11.30 , a bit later than usual but we had decided to watch the second part of a of two part’er Silent Witness.
