At home, still raining

Heard from Kathy my sister yesterday, the had a few days in Anglesey, although they weren't going at first because of the weather, but went at the last moment, after checking with the site they had originally booked with. They had a wonderful time going to the top of Snowdon by train, and going down into a coppermine,  which they enjoyed, but on the way back home the rain was torrential, and on the M62 the spray from trucks was very scary, Kath did say she was a little frightened but was glad to get home.
also yesterday I composed a wish list for extras for the motorhome, 1st on the list is a drive-away awning so we can keep the wheel chair in and keep it dry, also somewhere for Tara my dog can lay out and watch the world go by, Tara is a people watcher and is very friendly. also it will be good to keep her food bowls out of the van too.
The 2nd choice is a MIFI router which would be handy to get on the net when there is no WiFi nearby, it works of the 3g signal, I have 3g on my iPad and iPhone and i find it very good, i researched my provider and the  have got a highly recommended one, so that is on my wish list.
my 3rd and final choice is for another 110 amp hour leisure battery, to link up with the new one I have got already and a mobile Solar panel to charge them and Engine battery too.
On my old motorhome I had a 20w solar panel that sat in front of my windscreen and that kept me fully charged over a few days. this time i am looking for a 60w or more if i can afford it.
So I will have to start saving.
It must be my lucky day the postman arrived and dropped a letter in my post box, it was from the taxman so opening it fearing the worse, inside was a cheque for overpaid tax.
