A week ago, we had just returned from taking one of our grandsons Jack to Dorset, staying at the Ridge Farm campsite near Wareham. Luxury, Marge on a proper campsite with facilities, all very nice, but you don't get the views, and can't choose your neighbours.
Although the trip was to deal with some issues in Poole with our rental houses, we still afforded time for some leisure pursuits, including a maiden voyage on the river in Wareham, for our new inflatable canoe, bought especially to fit into Marge.
The mention of this trip, is also a record, that we changed our gas cylinder in the van. They usually last about a month, so this one should see us through until we return to France in September, where the refill cylinders are much cheaper.
(Please note non-alcoholic lager)

This weekend we have come to Cheltenham to attend Dubtoberfest, a VW festival at Cheltenham racecourse.
But tonight, we have returned to the House in the Tree, pub near to the racecourse. We stayed here the same time last year. They have a small grass overflow car park, ideal for campervans, which they welcome.
The pub is very popular with families, as they have a large play area and a petting zoo.

Tomorrow, is John's birthday, so this evening we enjoyed an excellent meal in the pub. Bean and vegetable chilli, and steak and ale pie. We had never seen so much steak in a pie! Both meals were excellent, and despite being quite full, we couldn't resist sharing the cheeseboard.
Our table had been booked for eight o' clock, but was ready slightly earlier. Next to us two tables of four. At the table adjacent were Mr and Mrs Glum, who we'd seen arrive. After their meal, they set to playing cards with the other equally glum couple with them, perhaps a decider as to who paid the bill!
On the other table, four people who arrived in a classic Rolls Royce, neither of them smiled either. The wife of the car owner, a little rotund, revealing anatomy a builder should only be allowed to do, but surely not a lady who drives around in a Rolls Royce! Our conclusion of these four couples, money doesn't buy you happiness!

Tonight, nestled in the countryside, we can hear the nearby M5 motorway. Is there no escape from noise pollution!
