Another wet weekend.

Yet another wet and windy weekend so not much going on thankfully I have got my computer back so will be spending most of the weekend in the van testing it hopefully everything will be ok.
It's cold enough now so my fires on  and the cupboards doors are all open to let the warm air circulate and air some of the clothing I have found this to work quite well along with a Uni bond Aero 360 humidifier.
Also a little tip here which might help some of you if your mattress and bedding is touching the vans inside wall your body heat in the bedding and mattress is as I'm sure you will be aware of creating moisture making the bedding and mattress feel damp.
The method i use to stop this is to create an air gap between the wall and mattress by placing four or more plastic lunch boxes or a few empty plastic bottles in the gap.

I do not sleep with any form of heating on at night its not that I'm opposed to doing so     Personally, after all people living in bricks and mortar have the central heating on overnight plus a motorhome has an abundance of air vents to allow free flowing air to circulate using the night catches on the windows is a safe bet.

Update re my Laptop

I'm taking my laptop in one last time to see if i can get it shorted out the laptop cost me £2000 in total with programs upgrades etc, just 12 months ago plus the spend on it this year.
It would cost me the same plus some to get the equivalent computer this year. So getting it looked at by somebody that wants to fix it and not just rip you off i shall keep you informed about this in future posts.Like i have mentioned before it runs and works well enough but the mapping for sending the files to the right destination is just not right i end up searching the whole computer the next time i want to do anymore work. It's like having to climb thougth the upstairs bathroom window every time you wish to get into your house.

Cool Vloger ( James ) for all you young uns out there

 I spent the day with this young lad James at his parents request to help him edit his films and get the best results from the equipment that he had, It turned out I learnt more from spending the day with  James than he learnt from me. His confidence, personality and ability is amazing to say the least I personally think he has a future in the film industry  please take a look at his vloger named cool volger click link below and leave some helpful comments this would give him the encouragement and confidence to do more.

You can find very good cliff top walks along this part of the coastline which offer some outstanding veiws both inland and out to the sea.

Cornwall At War Museum Full Length In Colour.



God the weathers been bad last real sunshine we had was the August bank holiday down south anyway.
Still everything has its own beauty even bad weather, sitting on a beach watching the waves battering against the shoreline and listening to the roar it sends echoing across the beach can either send you into a panic or put you at ease.
Walking along the cliff tops in a strong wind can make you laugh or make you cry I remember last year the wind and the hailstone was that strong blowing off the sea while I was on the cliff top near the compass overlooking Bude bay.
It actually took my legs from under me picked me up and set me down about six foot further inland I was lay in the mud laughing and crying with pain at the same time also i remember leaning at about 45degs into the wind while at Westwood Hoe
What I'm trying to say is be optimistic about life and not pessimistic 
And the sun will always shine.
I remember talking to a Young girl who took on a part time job as a barmaid to help her while she was at university I asked her what she was studying for her reply was midwifery then she went on to say all I want to do is buy nice dresses and look like a princess otherwise life won't be worth living. My reply was to look in the mirror and you will see the princess you want to be .

Spent two days at the Cornwall at war museum it is a very interesting place to visit at a small entrance fee of £5.00 well worth the trip hopefully the video will give you an idea of what to expect.
