Good news about the lottery ticket 

Hope you've had a good week despite the weather. I suspect you'll be thinking about organising a trip for next year when you get home tomorrow. 

That's very nice of him, we have a huge box of pump badges given to us a few years ago by a friend of ours when he closed his pub to convert into cottages. There are hundreds of them, I can't see there being a Dizzy Blonde but it will cost nothing for me to look.

You'll have to give me a bit of time to drag the box out of storage and have a look  

Oh well the sad day day dawned early, time to go home!!!! Was up at 7.00 topping up with go-juice at 7.15, owners keys in post box 7.20 and walked into my house around 10.45 having take one 'comfort' break on route and collected my cat from the cattery. So all in all a very good run with no delays apart from a relatively short stretch of 50mph roadworks on the M62. But would much rather not had to make it, could quite happily have stayed for another week. Now to start planning next years visits which will hopefully give me better opportunity for more interesting rubbish to pass on to you all. Thanks for reading thisweeks efforts just a pity the weather did not play ball, but let's be fair it is December and it is England ! ! !

You've provided some good reads as ever Dave. Glad the journey home went OK. 

Just a idea, have you ever thought of booking for 2 weeks ? Problem is then you'd get so settled getting you home at all would be impossible
