purplesea Posted December 26, 2020 #11734 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hi all, Reading through all the posts since yesterday morning you all seem to have had a good day. My daughter and hubby came here for breakfast before we all went to my mother's for the day. Mum didn't want us to go as she would be on her own again, especially as we have moved into tier 2. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if because we cannot cruise all certain people can talk about is brexit and pushing their own views i.e. brexiteer or remainer and going on and on and on then they must have very boring lives if they cannot talk about something else. Some are still moaning about the vote in 2016 it is history now and you cannot change history so we should move on now and think of the future whatever your views. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes threads jog along quite nicely. Like the last couple of days then " back to reality, look what BBC said. All doom". Sorry but I can't resist offering an alternative view. No more, that's it, never again. I promise. Let's see if anyone else does that🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news on TV is all about Covid19 and Brexit. It is only natural that it is mentioned on here. I have heard about Brexit, covid19, tipping threads etc many times but wouldn't complain if people post on these subjects because they have as much right as me to post. It is easy to scroll past any posts or threads you don't find interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawn47 Posted December 26, 2020 #11739 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I think it's time to batten down the hatches here.The wind is really beginning to pick up now. It's howling down the side of the house and the rain is hitting the windows with some force. The kind of night to snuggle down under the covers.

Luckily we live in a bungalow so we very quickly spotted a damp spot on the ceiling of the lounge before any serious damage was done but it was still a big job.

Luckily we live in a bungalow so we very quickly spotted a damp spot on the ceiling of the lounge before any serious damage was done but it was still a big job. The worst we had was a few years ago and it had snowed really heavy and it sat pretty thick on our house roof. Days passed by and there it sat(must have done a good job with the loft insulation ) One day we heard such a rumble and when I went outside ,sure enough the roof was clear of snow but it had brought down a big part of the facia boards and guttering with it . That is the only part of winter cruising/ holidays that bothered me and you find out that we have bad weather back home , part of me is only happy, once home and I can see that their is no damage to our property. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel57 Posted December 27, 2020 #11750 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I hope everyone is ok after such a stormy night. The wind and the heavy rain here in West Sussex was pretty awful. Thankfully it does seem to be subsiding slightly now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
