Evening all.

Lovely sunshiney day on me Island but it's all change for tomorrow.

Rains and winds forecasted... well it is getting close to a bank holiday weekend so what did I expect.

I think rain and wind is our pleasure tomorrow as well.

I knew it couldn't last, it was just too good to be true.

WELL!!! Today. was so nice that we dried washing outside and I had to put a cap on to avoid sunburn!
Keep trying to do stuff but my leg tightens up in no time. Very frustrating

And my new pooter still isn't ready.

So I am a long way behind with stuff.
Grrrr!

Today was an OK day despite having gasmen messing us about I managed to complete the guttering for the mini-barn.
TBH, it isn't pretty, but it will deliver the rainwater to where it can drain away.

A few more trimming pieces around the windows and then we can paint the whole thing black as night (except the window-frames).

UPDATE on the immobile caravan.

Having sent the two electronic 'boxes' back to their manufacturer (at their request in response to my plea for help) they have been tested and the rear one replaced as it had a failed relay in it. They should be back with me on Wednesday of next week and my 'gardener' will refit them after first investigating the locked up rear wheel. Fingers crossed, things are getting close to a solution and I'll be off again. All warranty work. Credit where it's due to Purple line Quattro.
It is worth noting that I have still not been contacted by the dealer whose responsibility this problem should have been and I will certainly not be contacting them, or ever using their services.

Name and shame Dolly?

Certainly. 3A's in Carmarthen. It is worth having a look at their feedback on Trustpilot??? The good to poor ratio is about 50% to 49% and a huge number of the bad feedback is not on the sales side but on the after sales service.

The workmanship done on my van before I collected it was excellent but I had to wait two months to get it after the purchase and that was only after a special request as it looked as if it was needed as a temporary home for my niece and her husband whose house purchase was taking too long. BUT the trouble starts if things go wrong as then '' Sorry, you will have to wait at least three months as we are very busy''. And that is assuming you even get a reply to your request for service!!

They boast that they have a 'new 15 bay workshop' which is brilliant but if you don't have the staff in the workshop to make use of them they are not a lot of use! I am surprised that they are able to keep any staff, it must be very disheartening for them to see/be told about all the negative feedback.
