| Shock horror. I washed Absinthe in readiness for a wedding we're doing as a favour on Saturday. Tomorrow will be polishing day. What's happening to me? ________________________________________________________________________________ Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

| Cleaned, polished and prepped Tallulah for a 2 day hire. I checked all the fluids as normal and for the first time in the 4 1/2 years we've had her I needed to top up the oil. 1/2 a litre brought her back up the correct level, she was serviced in Feb and hasn't done much mileage since then ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark

| No hire bookings for the BH weekend - plenty of enquiries but no-one willing to part with hard cash - so we loaded the SUK (Sports Utility Kombi) with a bike and a kayak and took it to Dinton Pastures, a local cycling, walking, water sports venue for some fun.
Oli and Serena had some fun on the water while I peddled like a maniac around the various lakes on the dirt tracks. 10 or so miles later I stopped for lunch before helping to pack everything back into Tallulah - except the bike which I then pedalled the 12 or so miles back home.
We will all sleep well tonight! ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark

| Tried and failed to fit LED sidelights. I am not practically minded at all, but the bulbs were the same spec and size but simply didn't work. Any suggestions?! | |

Did you try them round both ways - leds only work in one direction. ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer @brazilianvwbay | |

| Went to a market in Loches. Gave Iris a much needed wash at a lavage, she looks a bit better now, not quite so many squished insects. Then had a picnic by the river & back in time for gin o'clock |
