Well the storm continued overnight and kept us awake for quite a it of the night and the it was so noisy, oh well nothing to be done. Noel woke at around 3 Am doubting whether he had closed all the car windows but as it was raining so hard decided to leave it till the morning as if the car was wet there was not much he could do but thankfully they were all closed.
Due to a minor error in setting up the van control panel at the beginning of our travels it would appear that the heating was set to be by Gas and not electricity and so we had used up one complete bottle of gas, great and so today we needed to buy another bottle of gas. The nearest place was a company in Wellington about 30 minutes away and so off we went and it was not the cheapest but due to the way they calculate the cost of the Bottles, a 5 kilos bottle of gas costs £ 30.00 and a 10 kilo £40.00 and so Noel opted for the larger bottle. On the way back we stopped off at Waitrose to top up the refrigerator with enough food for the next few days and we plan to go for dinner tonight at the local pub called ‘The Rock’ to avoid primarily Jennifer to spend more hours slaving over a hot stove. We had hoped for some BBQ’s but in this weather forget it.
When we got back Noel sought out a Caravan repair Guy as there is the odd smell of Gas but we are not sure and so have found an engineer to come and check the system on Thursday this week.
We went for dinner at the Rock Pub as planned and were really looking forward to it as our past experience was very good, but tonight the service was extremely slow and their was a young couple who were only having a main course and they to wait and hour. We had planned to hold a lunch party here this weekend but no way after this performance and there was not food for kids to tuck in to either. It’s still raining here so much for summer weather.
