HG - we wondered about this for a long time - and just decided to try and get all our wine whilst in France. Our poshest wine cost €5/bottle - but believe me that was one seriously good Bordeaux Superieur . We found the wine in our cubitainers travelled well - we brought back Red Bordeaux at ...

A trick learnt many years ago.. ...only bring back wine from abroad. Beer gets drunk to quickly where as an equivalent volume of wine lasts a heck of a lot longer. Unless there's a certain Mrs HG and it's rose in a fridge...:wink:

Massive disaster on the catering front! Went to pull an ale out of the cupboard only to find an empty space. Nothing, zilch not even one rolled to the back and here am I pulling out of a bout of "Man flu." I didn`t get where I am today by running out of ale.:wink:

A splendid first night in the huge caravan (4 bedrooms). The way it was shuddering and the wind howling it was like being back at sea. Supposed to be drier tomorrow but still windy so doesn't sound a promising day foe going to the zoo :( Get Well Soon Gwyn

Reminds me of our first day on Skye when the video cam...

I wonder if owners of Dalmation dogs have ever been tempted to get a black marker pen and randomly join the spots, just to see what appears, the dog would make an interesting board for playing dots and dashes too :idea: Trying to answer that and get back on topic.....they would probably join up and ...

We've just bought a new car. Gulp. Brand spanking new, not the young secondhand one we were thinking of getting. It was cheaper to buy a new one than the identical 1 year old car. I just hope we've done the right thing. Lots of money involved in such a purchase. A Ford Focus wagon with a 1 l...

We've just bought a new car. Gulp. Wagon=Estate Car,3 cylinder? I don't think so, having worked for FoMoCo for almost 37 years, Ford has never produced a 3 cylinder engine to my knowledge, and at only 1 ltr, any wagon/estate car would be very under powered, even a 1.3 would be under powered on ...

Roscoe: Definitely 1 litre, 3 cylinder 95 HP aka Eco-Boost Engine. An engineering wonder. Look it up - even the new Mondeo will be available with it. Barrie - thanks for asking, the rash is gone, the pain lingers on. I I've stopped the heavyweight painkillers as I was sleeping and tripping all t...
