Good Morning Derek and Lilian.

Got home at ten past midnight this morning hour delay at Malaga, the had to fly around Gatwick for 50 minutes, -1 when we landed that was a shock to the system after 18c in Spain.

Two days before we arrived they had a group of Irish Travellers who wreaked havoc, eventually they were kicked out, fancy having them on a plane for two and a half hours.the kids were going up and down in the lifts, bedrooms were wrecked, at meal times the children would throw plastic cups and food at other guests, totally out of order, apparently one guy stood up to them and they backed down, absolute parasites,
My son and his partner were at Legoland last year for a Christmas break and another group were doing exactly the same thing, only Legoland didn;t have the guts to ask them to leave.

Other that, very nice and relaxing food was good,staff very attentive highly recommended obviously without the trash.
Doors on my cars frozen solid after a week of frost. one wouldnt start, Silver Dream did not let me down.

Morning all! How lovely and sunny it is today! Cold also, although for anyone that has an auxiliary heater like Alison has, this isn't a problem! Alison is having a day off today, and I'll be going to London to meet up with friends later.

I must say I have been glad I have winter tyres- some nasty frozen run off on a lot of country lanes! One well known bit of road in Westerham has claimed a couple of cars...

Reverend, when I had Sara, her doors were prone to freezing closed. My solution was white grease on all hinges and latches, and CLEAR tyre spray on all the rubbers and crucially the door handles. Obviously with the latter, I wiped off the excess; only spraying where the handle was known to stick.

It works. Believe me it isn't much fun in temperatures of minus 5 at 3 am trying to gain access to a car!

The solutions mentioned above made all that a thing of the past!

In a moment of pure unadulterated madness, I decide to swill the bird muck off my car - crikey mick it is absolutely perishing out there. It was a very quick wash, but my finger ends feel as if they've fallen off
