Good News ... Ethan is OK

Bad News ... Still don't know what's wrong with Grace and she's still in hospital

Bad News ... Waited four hours for the doctor to come ... still hasn't arrived!

Hope you get some answers soon Pete...thinking of you all. xx

Well that is overall good news Pete I guess, not trapped wind is it? that can be excruciating and last for days....

My good news it that all the hardcore has been removed from the playing field today. No cairn building for us or cream eggs hey ho

From what I can gather David is you get the 530/532 from the Yakkers which is a direct route to Kendal.

There is also a local circular bus service which I thinks stops near the charity shop, we have some timetables at the shop I will pick one up tomorrow. That route you would go to Grange-Over-Sands and pick up a connection at the Railway Station.

I will collar a local tomorrow who uses the bus services around here and ask them, what is best.

Hip hip horray!!

Grace is home so the camping is back on - need a holiday now!

Still no answers but she'll be having a scan as an outpatient - eventually! (No Jo, it's not wind - seems to be some sort of swelling inside - could still be appendix - just not ready to burst yet)

Got to get on with the packing and stuff now - see you all soon

Thank God Grace is back home + So glad things are much better than they were Roll on Thurs...have a safe journey up .....when it will be hugs all round. xxx

Sledge? <scratches head> ok I am tired.

Good to hear Grace is back home safe and hopefully well

Jo xx

Yes Sledge!

We've had something like 6 inch of snow forecast

You're not telling me that after all we've been through we're not going to be able to make it because of Snow

Now that is CRUEL!

Little gas heater.....check
Oil filled radiator.....check
Fan heater..............check
Whisky..................check

I'll be fiiiiiine.

Guy's Guys......

Snow is forecast for Scotland not us in sunny Allithwaite, I hope LOL

You know friends apart from the couple of bookings that the community centre has we can always congregate in the building *IF* the weather is too inclement. Sheep are telling me a different story however...<taps nose>

We will have fun and laugh's friends whatever, blizzards, being marooned in the snow, you know this.

Hi Jo,

It's been a while since I've been back on the forum as I've a new job and it's involved 2 moves and a host of other stuff!

Anyhow, would it be okay to arrive around lunch time on Friday or is anyone arriving on Thursday?


Pete et Gillian, sounds like you've had a boat load of worry, glad that both Ethan and Grace are out of the woods. The girls have been asking after you too.

It will be nice to catch up with everyone once again, looking forward to seeing the NW crew!

We are hoping to arrive Thursday but all depends on the weather now...

Can text you Oz when we set off if you like?

Hi there,

There are a few who wish to come Thursday, I am getting the keys Thursday morning and I will be there myself about 3ish, so not a problem.

Weather looks set to get better as it rolls on I think.

me and pete have moved to scotland cos that white stuff blowing in my face with 65mph winds behind it is definitely not blossom
hot water bottle ----check
furry slippers ----------check
tartan knee rug ----------check
long johns --------------check
oh no - sorry - thats alans list

Well that's just great!

Grace's scan is for tomorrow at 1.30 so we will definitely be delayed - was hoping to set off around 10am.
Determined to come and hopefully will be setting off late tomorrow but could be Friday set off!

Still Grace's health is more important than a camping trip.

Jo do you know when Pam was setting off? Might need to transfer prizes to her so Easter Bonnet parade can go ahead without us. (Think she is closest to us)
