I couldn’t quite believe it when I read this. A company charges over £29,000 for something only worth £5,000, and replies “Well, it’s business isn’t it?” when the customer complains.
I hope static caravan owners get the compensation they deserve!

So pleased with how my cheap plants from Lidl have done. The Bougainvillea are going over now, but the geraniums should see me right through September if I keep on top of the dead heading.

I'll get some better photos. This was a quick snap on the way back from the shop. It's already the most beautiful day.

Been absolutely torrential today, interspersed with spells of glorious sunshine. Overall though water levels rising and the path outside Josie is under water. All that said, got my steps in, achieved my heart points for the week, had a lovely brunch out and bought some new towels. A good Friday in anyone's book. Pax!

A seafront telescope. It's mounted on a blue box platform for children to stand on.  A caption on the side of the plinth asks whether you can see the sea monster?  The telescope is coin operated.

Without any need for persuasion, the very nice Adam from Whitelegg Upholstery is going to be renovating and recovering @josieatthecoast fixed seating in this lovely shade of blue over the next few weeks. I'm having the seat cushions completely replaced, and everything else and the kickboards recovered. Hopefully this will see Josie looking fresher, but also have her a bit for comfortable for the next few years!

Take a look at Adam's recent work:

Due to rotten weather, I stayed in today and cracked on with the redecorating. Didn't plan my time very well so will be sleeping on this sliver of bed tonight. It will however be worth it! The repainting of every room is just about complete, with a feature wall of Aegean blue, and the rest of the walls Potters Clay. It's given Josie a completely fresh feel and dealt with the faded walls. For ten years old, this girl will give the 2022 models a run for their money.

Assuming we don't get blown away tonight!

A very narrow space left on the top of a double bed. Bedding, duvets and pillows take up the rest of the room,  while two mattresses stand propped at the foot of the bed

Can you believe that this weekend it will be #halfacentury since I first came to #Felixstowe on holiday?

It rained all week!

Before and After. I restored my pitch to it's previous condition after a bad winter, construction work and people driving over it as a shortcut. The final results are as good as it's going to get, as have been told I am moving to a new pitch in September.

Someone seems very happy with their new chair. It's only been up five minutes and Clio's claimed it, had a bedtime wash and is now curled up in it asleep.

Thumbs up for Lidl once again!

How's your #MondayMorning going so far?

Awake early (very strange dream about an attempted murder of a young policeman committed by a mayoral candidate who was being sponsored by a consortium of Londis shopkeepers) so up and out. Done an hour of walking, clocked up 6k steps and it's not even 9 o'clock yet!!!

Stopping for #breakfast now before walking back to Josie and Clio.

Inspired by @narrowboat.life.unlocked stunning interior of Morning Star 2, I've created my own 'living' wall hereat the caravan. Due to heat and absences for work, I've had to go #faux but I'm very pleased with the results.

Had confirmation today that Josie will be moving pitch in the Autumn for site improvement work. I'll be sad to leave Willow Rise, but excited for a new location on the park too. It's going to be very strange having a different view outside the same inside!

Good afternoon from Thaxted. I'm home! Three hours driving today with my flit to #Felixstowe and back.

My mission was mostly successful, and Josie the #StaticCaravan is just about ready for #winter. The #Floe install was easier than I thought - people I installed a #stopcock- but the drain down didn't go to plan, as there is an air leak. I've tracked it to the cistern and will return with spare parts next weekend. Perhaps I should buy #dungarees also?

Pax!
