Traveled over to here again because we made arrangements to call in at Knowepark Caravans Livingston to let them fix a problem with our habitation door (they said no problem just call in). So after altering our route and missing out of visiting some new places we rang them to confirm we were coming on Friday and they said no way the first they could do it would be the 19 September (Thank you so much for altering our life). Good morning in Sterling raining but a walkabout and coffee. Afternoon rain Ugh!
