  1. You're dead right LL,I always go to a local childrens hospice shop.The larger well known charities have too many overheads IMO.
  2. Having brought home another houseful of clothes from Italy,we've spent 2 days clearing out and making numerous trips to charity shops.Went to B&Q for melamine and fitted 2 extra shelves in wardrobes.Another 2 days at least.Next stop, the shed, to make room for all the tools I've brought home,lol.
  3. You must be Elite with Greggs, Graham.My bacon at Victoria coach station is never that good 😉.
  4. We just walked around the town in Kirkwall,quite small.I think there is a whisky distillery tour on the Island.
  5. Thanks mate,the drive from Como to Thionville was eventful.Coming out of the Gotthard tunnel into the German region of Switzerland was snowy and sleet and then the last 2 hrs in France was torrential rain and hailstones.Yesterday there were numerous fog banks thru the rolling hills of the Alsace.We got an earlier Leshuttle though and made it home early.
  6. Morning LL,we used to buy a Greek yogurt in Italy.Believe it or not it's called Kalos.Our Kalos gets better reviews though.
  7. Hi guys,final trek yesterday,8 hrs hotel to front door.Back to normal this morning.
  8. I was going to post a "Graham" from the banks of Lucerne.We came out of the Gotthard tunnel to snow and rain,plus no Greggs to be seen.I think the Swiss food police told them to jog on.In Thionville now after a 6 hr drive.Last 4 hr leg tomorrow.
  9. The one in Como was an old one only 100 yards from the lake.It was only 90 quid plus 15 for garage parking,now it's around 150.We stayed in a suite hotel in Lugano with lake views from a large patio attached to our room.That was 200 euro,but a treat for us b4 Christmas.
  10. How dare they,they wouldn't have a pint of Cobra and a Vindaloo every friday night.Bloody lightweights.
  11. I should add it's called hotel cruise.there's a message there somewhere.
  12. 5 hr drive to the outskirts of Como.Pre Brexit when we drove home just b4 Christmas we stayed downtown near the lake with all the Christmas markets etc.Now we stay in a business hotel on an industrial estate,it's a 4star with views if you look hard enough.
