I'm glad I drove to the conference rather than getting the train. Not only did I have an overnight in #PaddyTheCaddy but it also made it much easier to carry home the Fortnum & Mason hamper I won in the raffle. 😀

It's full of really posh treats and I almost don't want to take everything out as it's such a lovely thing. 😀

A selection from the breakfast buffet. Homegrown strawberries. 😋

As I'm at a conference in Leeds tomorrow, and I hate early starts, I'm camping in a carpark tonight.

Stealthy camping is not glamorous. 😄

I didn't have time to go home before going out again so tonight's tea is in #PaddyTheCaddy on Meols prom.

Today I have used a jigsaw to cut the hole in the worktop for #PaddyTheCaddy's sink. It needs a bit of fettling to sit completely flat in the frame but I've made some notes for tomorrow and am happy with what I've achieved today. 🙂 I was dreading this bit of the project. 😀

I couldn't play in today's softball cricket festival due to my twanged hamstring but I _could_ use #PaddyTheCaddy's freezer to take ice creams for everyone.

I slept well in #PaddyTheCaddy last night. My bedtime routine is now established. I know what order to do things and where things live.

This is my first overnighter with my fridge, Jackery and new stove. The kitchen isn't finished yet but I have a secure frame to which I clipped some hardboard to act as the worktop. I have a choice of porridge or yoghurt with fruit for breakfast. Luxury. 😋😀

Oh no! Weird Skoda man has just driven in (and out!) of the carpark again. He seems to be looking for something or someone.

I'm in #PaddyTheCaddy tonight. On a beach in North Wales. So many places have signs explicitly forbidding caravans, motorcaravans and sleeping in vehicles, but this place has no signs...... so it's busy.

Some vehicle occupants are like me, ie wanting to spend a quiet night looking out to sea. Others, I suspect, are different. A recent arrival is playing boom boom music.

I'm making my tea now. I'll see how the place feels in a couple of hours. Plan B is just down the road.

I've done 4 sessions of sport this week, since Sunday, and am feeling the effects on my poor legs and back. I have a Touch Rugby tournament tomorrow.

I keep telling myself that I won't feel as tired when I get fitter. I think I have to accept that this won't happen!

Tomorrow's overseas* tournament is a good excuse for a night in #PaddyTheCaddy. Time for rest, reading and plenty of sleep.

*Wales

I've just been in a #volunteer committee meeting and I am playing cricket, on the same side of the #Wirral, this evening so it's a great opportunity to spend an hour sitting in #PaddyTheCaddy and looking out across the River Dee to Wales.

It's the first time I've used my fridge and Jackery battery pack as I can now secure them in place while I'm driving.

Fresh milk with my cuppa 😃 and I have some rice-with-bits-in for my tea before cricket.

This is the life.
