From the inside it's all you can see, why bother with anything else?
Why would I wash outside the rain does that.

I like this........
Hope that everyone has a lovely weekend
May I pick ur brains plse, even though it’s 2-3 x years away of me moving to Dorset been looking around of what rents are for particular properties and areas
Noticed a few that if u have a pet it’s an extra £25 per month , so indeed working out around £300 per year , understand paying an extra deposit but that seems high or is that the norm plse , will only be a small, pet like a King Charles or bichon, others of course won’t allow any pet, can respect that seeing it’s there property and it’s there rules
Looked around the blandford area which looks very nice and only 30 x minutes away from the coast , feel that’s far enough to get away from tourist areas as wouldn’t want to get caught up in the endless traffic each time during the summer months, plus plenty of countryside as that’s my goal to find a place either on a farm or in the middle of knowhere
at the end of the day think I’ve got 2 x choices , when I’m ready and saved enough of giving my place up, move my stuff into storage in Dorset, that will allow me to drive around all different areas and letting agents , or stay where I am and wait for a property to come up , but wouldn’t see it in person until I move , always been terrible with decisions , lol , but this has been a dream for 50 plus years and simply don’t want to grow old where I’m currently at
Once again hope u didn’t mind me asking and everyone has a lovely weekend , many thks

I know someone that lives Dorset way he's away 6 months of the year that you could probably squat at ad has a massive wine cellar.
Just kidding only thing I know about Blanford is you will be near a Royal Signals camp if it's still there.

Good morning folks wee lay in at 5.40 this morning
lol, other option I thought was instead of sleeping in my car if maybe I could rent a mobile home off season . But wow some prices are eye watering , wouldnt want to loose a lot of dead money just on a temp place, , think it would be very comfy if I got a half decent air bed for the landy , has tons of room
Other issue is having an address to forward my mail onto, assume camp grounds won’t allow it and won’t be able to if I’m staying in my landy , hopefully over time I can resolve these problems , do have a FBH in the landy already so that’s one bonus
Funny enough I wondered that if the army camp was still there , sorry I’m waffling , lol, just so nice being able to chat

As WhiskeyLassie has said Blandford Camp is close to the town, but once a year The Great Dorset Steam Fair comes to town and the roads become rock solid tail backs for about 10 days ...
Although it appears that this year the Event will not run ... https://www.gdsf.co.uk/
Many thks , use to really enjoy the Dorset steam fair many years ago as a kid , useto stay mainly on the isle of purbeck every year , another thing I really enjoyed were the small village markets and the meat was gorgeous , particularly the lamb chops, sausages etc
That’s a great shame in it not running , heard the Bromley pageant also won’t run this year but think that’s down to ULEZ
That’s another bonus of moving miles away as won’t have to then get rid of my landy , saying that it seems many other towns are doing one scheme or another

It probably wouldn't be a good idea to rent a place without looking at it first. Estate agents' pictures tend to make everything look bigger. Plus you can check things like 'Do I actually get the use of that parking space?' and see if it's within reach of a hosepipe or extension lead, which makes life a lot easier when you've got a car. As well as ask about any additional fees or service charges on top of the advertised rent. Plus, and this is something I look for when renting property, see if it's got those dreadful card meters for the energy, which puts me right off. Dorset isn't that far away from where you live @gstuart and it's certainly possible to get there and back in a day, so if you arrange more than one viewing it's worth the trip. Good luck. It's a very expensive part of the world. That's why I'm planning my retirement for Wales, which is a bit more affordable.

You'd be in tears if you knew ours! (£12/month which would be £24 if we were there all year round)
Enough to water the garding!

Fink its because yer pick me wurds from stans reply. There be no dots in the origional post.
I would just like to say
Iffit it were your parcel delivered today and yer naybor took it in, would you be happy if they left it unnatended on yer door step after 2 days or threated to bin it? Tis a bit harsh. You open up a legal can of wurms if yer bin it. Or get yer window smashed. Depends on how yer naybor reacts...www.landyzone.co.uk

This is why we used to have water butts in the garding in the UK, no need for them now, but we collect the water off the three roofs of our house into a massive underground tank to water stuff over here, which I will be connecting the pump up to today so W can water in the plants she's putting in the greenhouse.Ok till you want to water the garden
Isn't @Hippo the master of water-butting on 'ere? I do know you can connect loads of em up together.
Tisn't as if we don't get enough rain.

While on this business...You would need stitches with that
True story.
When I lived in Lille an oirish mate of ours got a card from the post office telling him he had to go to the main PO to collect a letter. He did wonder what on earth it could be, so we all went with him. After he had paid excess postage cos it came with no stamp on, from oirland it turned out to be....
a small plain brown envelope...
contents, none...
except for a single condom.
We did rather laugh a lot!

Seriously wonder why not as you live on your own except for the dogs, and if you have a septic tank they can't charge you for sewage which is way more expensive than the watter.
