07/09/21 A Bit Of A Rant! (Part 1)

Hi and thank you for joining me on't blog today. 


One which I am sorry to say is about venting off steam following recent events and a potentially ruined weekend away.

Recently I had my caravan serviced and when I collected it I was told that they had discovered a small water leak - despite this "leak" not having manifest itself at any time prior to this service.  I was also told that they had managed to sort it out and that everything should be fine going forwards.

Having parted with over £350 for said service, we took the caravan back to site and were really looking forwards to a nice, relaxing weekend with our friends.

We arrived on site during Friday afternoon and went through all the set up processes and then with that done, we decided to make a drink.   I connected the water and when I went back out to get some more things from the car, the person next door told me that he had tightened the connection fitting because it was leaking.

I thanked him and went back into the caravan and continued to make said drink.  Alison commented that she could still hear the pump working but then it stopped so I said it was probably just topping up the tank after drawing the water for the kettle.

However a few minutes later the pump was running again but we had not drawn off any water!

I went into the bathroom and discovered that water was pouring out of the shower head despite the tap being turned off........................!!!  So because the only way for water to get to the shower head was via the tap there seemed to be something of a problem going on hmmmmmm!!!

In addition I also discovered that the water coming from the shower head was warm so, because the incoming supply is cold water, it must have been heated by the caravan system.

After we had made this discovery I emailed the Manager of the company that had carried out the service and asked him to call me back as a matter of urgency (I am still waiting for that call 60+ hours later). 

As a result every time you switch the water on to fill the sink or to fill the kettle etc. warm water starts to flow from the shower head.

To be continued........

06/09/21 My Ideal Day

Hi and welcome I hope that you have had a wonderful weekend - I know that I have!   So I thought having had such a great time I would devise a list of things that make up my ideal day! I wake up naturally and take my time preparing to greet the day ahead. I visit the bathroom, wash and clean teeth and spend 5 minutes in contemplation I dress and make a cup of coffee then  I write both my journal and my gratitude list  I visit my to do list and start working towards completing the things I have to do I clean my cameras ready for the photo shoot(s) that are booked I write any emails that I need to send    and read over my blog notes / planner    and having done this I start writing the new post After I am happy with that it is time to have lunch and then say bye to Alison if she is not coming with me. I (or We) leave the house and choose which vehicle we will use - if it is a country shoot we will probably take the Range Rover but if it is a town / city ...
