'Oh, you're interested in me again now?' Yes Marge. But we have to admit we had other plans. If the weather hadn't become unsettled, we were going off cycle camping locally for a couple of nights. Our planned balcony is becoming a nightmare. Delay after delay. Angela has had enough and after having to return early from France because some individuals (ruder words could be used) decided to enter our garden in the hope we now think to break into our shed, was not best pleased when we were told the steels for said balcony would not be going up on Monday 10th as arranged. Great!! Our window fitter all lined up, has other work and we need the steels installed by next Wednesday. What are the chances?
Having been home just over a week we have now increased the height of the fence in our rear garden, put strips of plastic spikes on top and painted it black and installed a cctv camera. All for peace of mind so we can leave home when we want to. Other people were targeted the same night as us. A house across the road and cars on the road behind. Hopefully we've done enough to make this low life move on to somewhere else. Not that we'd wish anyone else to have the worries we've had to endure, let alone the cost. We're talking hundreds!
So here we are in Seaton, just an hour and a half from home. We've stayed here twice before on the seafront. Our neighbours are German. The town is quiet. Too quiet for mid July. In ten days', time the school holidays begin, and we know living in Poole we are about to be invaded. Hopefully we will be able to escape the visitors by cycling or travelling in Marge. Or if we're really lucky. Sitting on our brand-new balcony and enjoying the view across the boating lake. Fingers crossed. Tomorrow We're off to Lyme Regis. We know it will be busy there. It always is.
