We're still alive..........just

Day 6
The weather hasn't been that good, but we realize that you have to take the bad with the good and soldier on. We did have one catastrophe yesterday... while working on the laptop a cup of tea (My Fault) tipped and you guessed it, it flooded the laptops keyboard.




Panic..... I quickly upended the Laptop hoping to drain out the tea and liberally sprayed WD40 into the keys and then got the air dryer working to try and dry out the unit.

I then stripped the back off it to make sure no tea had got into the electrics. Luckily it looked dry. Still the keyboard was a mess and nothing would work so I left it for the night.
This morning I've got it to work (in a fashion) as I'm typing on it now via a Usb connected Keyboard though now and then the number 7 keeps popping up for some strange reason?

Caravans and motor homes are coming and going on the site though its never more than half full so today we had a hotpot and tea with cake at the Tea rooms and then went site hunting.

We popped up the A41 towards Market Drayton to visit the Wharf Caravan Park Nr Goldstone but found that once off the A41 the roads became very narrow with a very nasty hump back bridge over the canal just before the site that we could possibly ground on. The sites pitches although hard standing where mostly too short for the RV and the showers & toilets were across the road behind the Pub.

Then we backtracked down the A41 to a CL site called Canal side Park Nr Shebdon but this was far too small with only four hard standings, none of which would hold our RV and their was no electric hookups or showers the toilet being a tin box.
So it was back to the RV for while, still we are seeing a bit of the locality.
