Holiday is going brilliantly... A bit wet today but it didn't stop me running 7 miles in the wind and rain 
https://www.strava.com/activities/1101977355
Got soaked but it saved me showering
The caravan has a very leaky skylight in the kitchen but not fixed that yet... I don't think I have enough kit with me... I returned from my run to find a very wet kitchen floor... A bucket is now catching the drips
I have fixed a leak in the kitchen sink this morning though...
Drier now so off out on my bike in a bit for a little ride...

I think I would have chosen to go swimming rather than running when raining but that's me.
Just went to look at a (S plate) petrol pug 306 GLX for my nephew to replace his knackered VW caddy. Doesn't look too bad for it's age (mileage 125K) though I'm not sure what engine size. The MOT history doesn't give that info. Can't view until tomorrow eve and he's chasing a couple of Fords locally (one in Walkford the other in New Milton).

James, I really appreciate the offer but it's a job well beyond me as it means getting up on the roof and that's something I can't do due to my severe vertigo...
Just returned from a bike ride... It was so windy along the seafront I was cycling in italics....

French or German is largely a matter of taste (or comfort-v-engineering) but, as versatile as a 306 might be - as a replacement for a small van???
Stlll VW to Ford seems a retrograde step - or am I letting my prejudices show?

What? Think you may have the wrong thread Van

Last day of my holiday today


Best holiday I've had in years

Done me a world of good and a big, big life decision has been made

His work no longer requires a van so just a cheap runabout will suffice. His predicament is desperate so any car will suffice. To quote him on Wednesday, "even a corsa will do.."

Last day of my holiday todayIt's been absolutely excellent and rounded off perfectly enjoying a meal out with James (Elma) in a cliff-top restaurant overlooking the sea
Best holiday I've had in years![]()

The problem with multi-topics in single threads Jim. My fault

Was that the Cliffhanger restaurant at the crowsnest? The view is stunning for sure and it's not a bad eatery if a little small. In the evening as dusk descends, millions of rabbits begin appearing all over the greens, which in turn brings in the foxes looking for dinner.
Glad you're feeling the benefits of this break Jim.

Re: Citrojim's Activa, 1.9TD, 207 and Bike Tales
I guess that (in light of how your holiday appears to have helped you) your major decision is to move down to the New Forest area? Good luck, whatever your decision is, and I hope that everything works out well for you.

Thanks James
Appreciated!
No, it's not that
I have no plans to move from my present locality yet...
I may reveal later when plans are a little more advanced...

Tasty food and excellent company which I also enjoyed greatly.
Thank you Jim.

It's the one up on the cliff in Highcliffe overlooking and nearest to Naish Mike...

Well recommended and I think James will agree

Funny that, the selfsame thought crossed my mind.
