One machine and over 300 guests doesn't go down very well ... but we both enjoyed the break and the sunshine. You have to have a positive attitude to life :-) <br /><br />Yes the top of the cold frame was a very flimsy type of Perspex, no damage to Ginger thank goodness.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-31852702778922794162022-05-17T07:26:10.947+01:002022-05-17T07:26:10.947+01:00Which is exactly what I used to be like and why al...Which is exactly what I used to be like and why almost all our previous holidays have been capital cities, places of architectural interest and places with lots to do. Unfortunately as I now struggle to walk more than a couple of hundred yards without<br />a serious amount of pain this had put a stop to this. ☹️ I made a real effort this holiday as Alan really needed a good holiday in the sun, and his favourite sort of break is one on a sun-lounger by a pool ... he's waited ten years since the last one.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-82851742786953547432022-05-17T04:44:34.372+01:002022-05-17T04:44:34.372+01:00Your vacation sounds wonderful!
