Just tell him not come around when your husband is not there.
The "visitor"s motives could range from hoping to get lucky, to planning a crime, but this couple needs to verbalize house rules and make sure unwanted visits truly stop. Deferring visits until or when the husband gets home could make the visitor more aware of when husband is absent, but if the working hours friendship doesn't stop, I'd get serious about watching the guy.
Too Nice, this made the hair rise on the back of my neck. I have experienced a few incidents because I didn't want to hurt feelings. Do not open the door. Talk through the door. Have a ready reply. Always be busy with an important phone call, etc. He may be deveolping fantasies & you could have a stalker to deal with.
Tell your husband. Respect your instincts. "Gentlemen" do not stop by when husbands are absent.
Thank him for dropping by but explain you are busy invite him back when your husband is home. If the behavior continues ask your husband to play jealous and explain the boundaries to him
Definitely don't let him in. Tell him you are very busy at the moment, and that you'll have time after your husband gets home from work. If he continues to come over while he's not home, and he's not interested in coming back later, it indicates that his motives in seeing you are not just neighborly. Tell him you're not interested in his visits, and not to come back. Of course, your husband needs to be aware that this is going on.
Call your husband immediately and have him return home from work to confront the "friendly" neighbor.
Does he seem like he's trying to be more your friend or both you and your husband's friend? If he seems fixated on you, then he's probably trying to gauge whether or not you would cheat on your husband while he's away at work. He's friendly now because he's attempting to get into your good graces waiting for a time when you're emotionally vulnerable and in need of a "friend" that could take advantage of your marital woes. Of course, your woes would be the product of having a male friend that visits when your husband is away, thus to your husband you are just as guilty as Mr Friendly. Although his rage will most likely be directed at Mr Friendly, your husband will secretly harbor resentment and mistrust towards you for having allowed the situation to escalate into possible infidelity. Be wise, tell Mr Friendly that his uber friendly demeanor and behavior is suspicious and that your are not falling for his routine. A real predator will remain calm and act nonchalant, like you're crazy for suggesting that they're up to no good. They might even act offended, again, they're just playing on your emotions. Players up to no good like to keep it friendly, but will back off if they think that pressure will drive you away, remember, they want to keep you in the wings! A genuinely nice person will back off and communicate openly and keep their distance until such time that you signal that it's okay to come around again because trust has been reestablished. Gauge the situation in your own mind based on common sense. Do a background check, see if any red flags come up. Ask intrusive and prodding questions that would make most people uncomfortable, if he seems okay with that line of questioning and has quick and easy answers, get the hell out of there immediately!
As a man 60 years old that has "rode the river", I can tell you that man is after something. I am a gentleman who is brutally honest. I will tell this lady just like I told my two daughters and my step-daughter…..you are too naive and nice yourself. You should tell your husband about how you feel, even if this man is a friend of his. Let him handle it. He is your husband and protector. If he doesn't solve the problem, then you need to take a stand and not be so nice and tell this man that if e comes back you will get a trespass notice, and after that a trespass warrant if he comes back. That will take care of it. Sorry to say, most young women ae much too naive and gullible. Men and women can't be "friends".And most men are after one thing whether he's 16 or 60 years old. If a man says anything different , he's lying.
Steve " an honest man"
Trust your gut! Protect your marriage! Talk to your husband about it… sit him down eye to eye and tell him you love him and want to protect your relationship, and this neighbor makes you uncomfortable… ask him to talk to your neighbor and request that he only stop by when your husband is home, if at all.
Honesty is the best policy. Just nicely but firmly tell him you feel uncomfortable and would rather he stop by when your husband is home.
Trust your instinct – that he comes around only when you are alone is alarming behavior. Do not let him into your house/apt ever again. Speak to him only through a locked door – be nice, but say things like "sorry, I'm just getting ready to go out and can't talk right now." Or, "sorry, I'm so busy right now but you can come back when (your husband)'s here and we can all visit." Make sure all entrances into your house are secure, including windows. Tell someone what's happening right away. If he doesn't take the hint (sometimes it takes a while for males to get it), you may need to have your husband stay at home with you one day and let him see this. It may be nothing but you need to protect yourself. If he persists, go to the police and report it. A friend
If you feel it is getting creepy, trust your instincts. I don't think it is a coincidence that he is stopping by only when your husband is gone. As a retired police officer, I find it creepy too. However, this is not for you to solve. This is for your husband to take care of. Tell him about the situation and let him have a talk with creepy. If the problem persists, it would mean real trouble and you should probably give a call to your local law enforcement.
Hi: I had an almost identical problem as the woman whose neighbor came over way too frequently, especially when her husband was at work. I'm an elderly female and my new male neighbor was SMOTHERING ME WITH NEIGHBORLINESS to the point that I was beginning not to even want to go out into my yard, or be seen by him in any way. One day he knocked on my door and said, "I hadn't seen you for a couple of days so I thought I would come over and check on you". That did it!! The next day I went over to his house, and said, Bill (not his real name), I need to talk to you. I then told him that I really needed my space. I didn't want to go out to eat, I enjoy gardening by myself, and I really don't need someone to come over to check on me. I'm just fine over there. I said, I don't mean to be rude but I need my own space. His response was, "well everyone needs to be who they need to be." As neighbors it was a little awkward for a few weeks, but he has been respecting my space, and we are now greeting one another and chatting for a few minutes as neighbors. I'm now not uncomfortable by going out into my yard to garden or any other thing. He wasn't really doing anything wrong, he was just Too much!! I think the key was to just be honest and up front with my neighbor. I hope my experience helps your other reader. Sincerely, Joan
Ask yourself what you would want your husband to do if a young lady his age kept visiting him while you were away and was too friendly. I believe you will answer your own question.
Have you told your husband? I doubt it. If you had, this would probably be a non issue. If you don't tell him, then you might be enjoying the extra attention. Sounds like you need to stop this behavior immediately by first telling your husband and then being firm with your neighbor to stop coming over. You probably won't have to do the 2nd step if you tell your husband. He will take care of it for you.
If a young female was visiting your husband while you were away and being "too nice", what would you want him to do? I think this will give you the answer you are looking for.
Tell your husband about it. This will take care of it.
Tell your husband about it. This will take care of it.
When he stops by, make some excuse, like " I'm really busy, or "I'm on the phone and tell him to come by later and "you can visit with me and so and so (you husband). Maybe he'll get the hint. If he continues to visit by himself then, be honest and tell him it make you uncomfortable.
Are you kidding me? First of all, you do not entertain any man when your husband is not at home. Second, did you tell your husband about these visits? I am sure you did not, so the first thing you must do is tell your husband about the visits. Let him know that you did not encourage the visits; that now the situation feels creepy and you are going to tell the young man not to stop by unless your husband is at home. Be firm about it and don't back down. Do nto get caught in a situation where he is outside your door when you are coming home, and he just follows you inside. Put an immediate stop to the visits. If your husband feels that he should speak to the young man, by all means let him do that.
There is a reason for your discomfort and his dropping by when your husband is out. On some level you know this. Tell your neighbor that dropping by when you're alone makes you uncomfortable. Ask him to come by when both of you are home instead. I'd bet his interest will wan.
I would wait until the neighbor either does or says something that crosses the line and address the situation by informing him of how his behavior made you feel uncomfortable. If he continues to be appropriate and nice, then relax and enjoy the company!
Too Nice, If you invite him in, you're inviting trouble. Politely tell him that your husband is not home and you would appreciate it if he would come back when your husband is home. If this offends this friendly neighbor your creepy feelings are justified.
Dear Too Nice,
This sounds like an old Navy trick… The last thing you need is to be seen
letting your neighbor in when Hubby is gone. Keep the visit short &
outside. Stay 3′-0″ away at all times & talk favorably about your
Husband. Your neighbor will get the message. Also, tell your Husband
about these visits.
A Husband
Dear Too Nice,
First, your husband appears to be unaware of your dilemma and if he was and were to step in to speak to your neighbor, this would only cause your neighbor to feel threatened. You will need to handle this on your own. Second, it also appears that you let him in when he comes to visit. Make a house rule that whenever you are home alone, no man who is alone is permitted within and, likewise, no single woman is permitted if your husband is home alone. Set up this rule with your husband making no reference to your neighbor. Next time he visits politely inform of the house rule. Step outside to talk to him in a friendly way and so that you both are visible to others. Other times when he shows up, you may open the door only enough for a friendly, but not too friendly, chat.
Stop being too nice, Too Nice, and tell him that it is not appropriate for him to drop by with your husband not home. If he continues, have your husband say something to him.
Tell your husband NOW before something happens between you and your nighbor that could end your marriage. or tell him to not come around unless it's to see your husband.. that is not being rude it's called saving your marriage
Simple!–Don't answer the door!
To the young woman whose neighbor is almost too friendly, I have an answer. First of all NEVER invite him inside. Be polite, but quickly excuse yourself to return to a chore . I learned something a long time ago it it is still relevant today. "Abstain from (avoid) all appearance of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:22) Don't jeopardize your reputation for a friendly man….your husband will appreciate you for it.
Dear Too Nice, It's your door…don't open it. He will get the message.
Not so Nice
Your male neighbor may be completely innocent in his intentions, but that's not really the point. If it makes you feel uncomfortable then it's reason enough to put an end to it. Let him know that, although you don't believe his motives are anything more than completely innocent, that it is inappropriate for him to visit with you in your home while your husband is out. You can also let him know that he's still welcome to pop over when your spouse is home. If necessary, blame it on an unnamed nosey neighbor and your desire to not become fodder in the gossip mill. Good luck.
Oh, honey, you are me 20 years ago. Listen to your intuition. Tell your husband first. My guess is he will not be too keen on the visits, either. Then you can have an honest but frank chit-chat with your neighbor. Tell him you and your husband would love to have him over for a visit sometime, but that the daytime visits alone are not okay with you nor with your husband.
I would politely tell him I am not comfortable with him being at my house when my husband is not home
Politely (but adamantly) tell him to phone before visiting. Then make up excuses or simply don't answer the phone. If he doesn't take the hint, call the police. But first, definitely tell your husband and neighbors what is going on.
Next time your neighbor is "too nice" gently but firmly tell him you are uncomfortable with his familiarity. This is about boundaries. He's crossing yours and it's up to you to enforce them. If he takes offense then it's best to keep him at arm's length. He needs to respect your boundaries and that of your marriage and if he won't or can't, cut him loose.
You opened the door to this friendship and you need to close it by not welcoming him into your home. You sound lonely, find an interest that will take you out of the home so you're not waiting by the door for his visit. He'll stop coming around when he finds you less available.
Put a note on your front door that says"Do not Disturb., meditation in process"
Make yourself unavaible and fast. This sounds like a situation that has the potential to blow up in your face. There is a reason you feel uneasy about this mans attention. Follow your instincts on this one.
Maintain boundaries!! If your neighbor is just stopping by to "chat" – keep the conversation short, polite, appropriate, and mention your husband as much as possible. Do not allow the conversation to wander into personal things. Above all – do not invite him in – even for a minute. Your front door is a boundary and by having him in you are lowering a crucial barrier.
Nothing wrong with being nice, Too Nice. On his next "drop by", just smile and say, "I enjoy visiting with you, but do you mind only coming by when my husband is home? We wouldn't want the neighbors to start talking." (smile and wink) This keeps it friendly, yet letting him know that you are entertaining no thoughts of romantic interest with him- without having to say so and embarrassing you both.
Kristy, the smile and wink very well could be interpreted by this overly friendly neighbor that the door is ajar if not fully open to an inappropriate relationship. As I said in my reply, this neighbor iscrossing boundaries and it's up to her to enforce them. If she's uncomfortable (and she seems to be) then the wall between her and this neighbor must stay in place.
Dear "Too Nice": I am a firm believer in ' going with my gut' in any situation. This young man may be just overly friendly and harmless but the creepiness worries me. Your body is telling you to be careful of him. When he comes over to your home–be calm, cool and busy! Tell him you don't have time to chat/ it is an inconvenient time/you are on your way out/don't answer the door. If you are outside–go inside. He could be a stalker in the making. If you remain pleasant but busy he may not take offense–if he is indeed a nice guy. On the other hand in this day and age it pays to listen to what your instincts are telling you. Joyce
It is completely inappropriate for him to come inside when your husband is not home. Tell your husband at once and do not let this man back into your home when you are alone. This visitor has an agenda. Take yourself off of it.
Trust your instincts! Tell him to come back when your husband is home. Do NOT let him in your home.
If if gets too chummy; tell him he has such entertaining questions, you repeat everything he says to your husband each afternoon. Then excuse yourself.
Be straightforward. Tell him (if it's true) that you enjoy a good friendship just as much as the next girl but you are married and his exclusive attentions are inappropriate. If he wants to cultivate a friendship, he's more than welcome to come to dinner… with your husband present.
You have to be rude if you're feeling uncomfortable. You can't let the young man, no matter how nice he may seem, be alone with you in your home without your husband present. It appears too inviting, even to the most innocent of situations. You need to be the one to stop any further ideas he might be getting.
Politely inform him that you feel it is inappropriate for you to be entertaining him while your husband is gone. There's nothing rude about that! Let him know that if he wants to spend time with you and your husband together, he is more than welcome to do so, but that you feel uncomfortable spending time alone with him while your husband is gone. If he can't accept this, then he's not the kind of person that you want to be friends with.
It seems creepy because it IS creepy. Deep down your women's intuition is warning you. Trust those feelings and deal with this pronto. What would you want your husband to do if some friendly young woman was hanging out with him while you were out? Tell the guy not to come over unless your husband is home. And if you can't do that, tell your husband all about this guy and how you've got a creepy feeling about it. Your husband will take it from there. -Tim Shoemaker
The next time the guy comes to your door, say "It was so
nice of you to drop by, unfortunately, this is not a good time for me to visit,
but my husband has heard so much about you, he would like to meet you. Are you
available to come to diner on (pick a date)?" Then the night of the dinner,
make sure your husband does most of the talking, asking the guy questions about
what he does, what teams he likes, etc. lots of guy questions. Meanwhile, make
it clear by your actions (body language) that you love and respect your husband
(sit next to your husband, touch his arm or back, direct your questions to your
husband, such as: "oh honey, you like that football team too, don't you?" and "did
you know that (your neighbor's name) works at x company?" From then on, don't
invite him in when he drops by, just continue to say it is not a good time to
chat (with a smile) and he should get the hint.
This has all the makings of a future "Forensic Files" episode. Trust your instincts! Keep your cell phone with you at all times. TELL YOUR HUSBAND your concerns. Be circumspect in your surroundings. It could escalate. Tell friends, family, everyone about your concerns. Better safe than sorry. Don't worry about being 'nice'…better to be safe than sorry.
I would be direct by telling this too friendly neighbor it's obvious he comes over only when my husband isn't home and I how uncomfortable I feel with his visits. If the visits continue I would tell my husband.
Debbie Fischer
DEAR TOO NICE: your neighbor is lonley has a major crush on you and thinks you're his girlfriend.I've been this guy we are sensitive and hurt easily. Introduce him to an avaliable girl who wants a boy friend. Play match maker don't let him make the moves he won't. Fix him up and talk about how happy you with your husband .
Been there, done that. I once misinterpreted a colleague's interest in me. Once she openly expressed her feelings (or lack thereof), I was too embarrassed to say "hello" to her, much less anything else.
Other respondents seem to have the seemingly ubiquitous Americanistic attitude of "kill them all and let God sort them out". There's no mention of whether the neighbor had been informed of Too's feelings. A few words can probably avoid a "stalking vs. ignorance" legal battle. However, I understand the benefits of mace or pepper spray, just in case.
Instances like this are what this guy is looking for – your being too nice to say anything and his defense of, "oh, I'm just being neighborly." If this guy was interested in making new friends, he would stop by when your husband was there also. Not doing so is disrespectful and he is pushing that boundary as far as you will let him. Next time he rings the bell, don't answer the door. He'll soon get the messsage.
Stop answering the door. He will get the hint!
Stop answering the door. If you are outside and see him coming, make a beeline for the house and shut and lock the door. And I think it is time to tell your husband about the "over friendly" neighbor and his unwanted attention toward you. He can decide the best way to tell the guy to quit coming over. If this guy still doesn't get the hint, you may have to call your local police and see what can be done.
Every time he knocks on the door you should answer it pretending to be on the phone…. with your husband. The conversation should identify the neighbor at the door to your caller, then tell the neighbor that you can't talk now, sorry. So here's how it goes, open the door, talking on the phone, "Hold on honey, Doug the neighbor is at the door… sorry Doug, I can't talk now, maybe another time" Do this every time he knocks on the door, period. First, he thinks you're letting your husband know he's there and you're not giving him a chance to turn the situation ugly,which could be dangerous.
Linda D.
To Nice Tell him his visits make you uncomfortable & to only visit when your husband is there.
if he persists – don't answer the door. Leah Glaze
No means no. It doesn't matter if it a date who wants sex or a neighbor who intrudes in an inappropriate manner. Also I'm guessing you haven't told your husband about this situation. My wife had this problem with husband of one of her friends. I explained in a manner most would understand. "Never come over here again or call again or I will be forced to explain things in a more physical manner. Him and his wife moved from the area within two months. Your husband is part of this team, let him help. Can help your marriage to see him help and will make him feel he is who you turn to for protection. Yeah stupid but us guys live for those moments we can be a Hero to the ones we love.
It is not stupid and you are a Hero. I have heard too many horror stories about rape and murder – we need to protect our loved ones and ourselves. I love the way you dealt with it and the fact that they moved away says a lot. I think you defused a potentially extremely dangerous situation. Women often try to handle things themselves but men have their own way of communicating…if this ever happens to me, I will have a man speak up right away. Good job!
I believe we should trust our inner feelings more. If this guy feels "creepy" to you – pay attention! Do not let him into your home, do not be alone with him. Ask him to stop coming over and be sure to tell your husband about this. If it happens after you ask him to stop, have your husband talk to him or get a restraining order from the court. You are being stalked.
It may take some effort to put a stop to it if he's already been coming over and feels welcome. Stop being so polite. Predators FEED on one's hesitation to be "rude." Be prepared to feel uncomfortable, and do it anyway. If he is waiting for your spouse to leave then he definitely has questionable motives. Don't let him in your home anymore. Stand outside and talk to him. If he asks to go inside just tell him that some of the neighbors have mentioned his visits and "people are starting to talk." That way he'll get the idea that people are onto him and questioning his behaviour. If he doesn't stop involve your spouse or the police. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.
Do not entertain his attention. If you have been admitting him to your home, stop at once. Tell the man that it is not proper for him to stop by when your husband isn't home. Take a camera-phone picture of him if he persists and go to your local police and tell them that you might be being stalked.

Most interesting is the elimination of the UltraPixels on the back, which have been so-so throughout the years in terms of performance. Instead, HTC has used the UltraPixel technology for the front-facing camera, in an attempt to use the larger pixels to attain better night-time selfies.

Bathroom Window Blinds & Shades
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades
While privacy is a major concern in the bathroom, blinds and shades that are able to withstand high levels of humidity are the best choice.

Oruro Carnival: a guide to Bolivia's largest annual festival
This is an excerpt from Lonely Planet's A Year of Festivals.
Location: Oruro, Bolivia
Dates: 10 days around Ash Wednesday
Level of participation: 3 – you won't be a devil but you might be singled out for the water bombs.
Listed by Unesco as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, Bolivia's largest annual celebration is a massive event said to draw in around 400,000 people. Its centrepiece is La Diablada, the 'Dance of the Devils', an extraordinary parade that showcases demonic dancers in extravagant costumes.
The 4km-long entrada (entrance procession) takes place on the Saturday before Ash Wednesday and features 20,000 dancers and 10,000 musicians – so many people that the parade lasts up to 20 hours. It's led by a brightly costumed San Miguel character. Behind him, dancing and marching, come the famous devils and a host of bears and condors. The chief devil, Lucifer, wears the most extravagant costume, complete with a velvet cape and an ornate mask. Faithfully at his side are two other devils, including Supay, an Andean god of evil who inhabits the hills and mineshafts.
The procession is followed by other dance groups, vehicles adorned with jewels, coins and silverware, and miners who offer the year's highest-quality mineral to El Tío, the demonic character who is owner of all underground minerals and precious metals. Behind them follow Inca characters and a group of conquistadores, including Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro. When the archangel and the devils arrive at the city's soccer stadium, they engage in a series of dances that tell the story of the ultimate battle between good and evil. After it becomes apparent that good has triumphed over evil (hurrah!) the dancers retire to the Santuario de la Virgen del Socavón at dawn on the Sunday, and a mass is held in honour of the Virgin, who pronounces that good has prevailed.
Though it is today a Christian celebration, La Diablada's origins are pre-Colombian. When Uru rituals were banned by the Spanish it morphed into something acceptable to Christendom, with Andean gods blurring into Christian images. Events continue through the week and include cha'lla libations in which alcohol is sprinkled over worldly goods (and four nearby rock formations) to invoke a blessing. The carnival ends on the Monday after Ash Wednesday with the Dia del Agua – the Day of Water – a huge water-bomb fight in which you as a visitor are likely to be a major target.
Essentials: Oruro is 3700m above sea level, so you should arrive a few days early to allow your body to acclimatise. With 400,000 people in town it'll pay to book a room well ahead. Carnival is a boon for petty thieves so keep everything under tight surveillance.
Local attractions: derided by some tourists, the unfashionable mining city has a few decent attractions: the Museo Sacro, Folklórico, Arqueológico y Minero delves into Oruro's mining roots (as well as displaying some La Diablada costumes). On Av La Paz, between León and Villarroel, you'll find small workshops offering devil masks, head-dresses, costumes and other devilish things.

Are you open to the general public?
Everyone is welcome!
Please be aware that all activities require pre-booking. Some activities need to be set-up or we may need specialist trainers on the premises, so we need to know in advance who is coming.
How long has Skern Lodge been operating?
We first opened in 1976 and moved to our current site in 1982. The owners and managers all work on-site full time.
Does the cost depend on the activity that you do?
No, the costs are based on the type of course rather than your activity choices. If optional extras are available, e.g. visits to local attractions, these are listed within the price list.
How late can I book?
In some circumstances we may be able to arrange the following:
- Bookings made the day before
- Bookings on the Adventure Days prior to 9am or 1.30pm starts
- Last minute pool hire
- Last minute RIB charter
With the exception of the above we require at least 24 hours notice for most activities.
How do I book?
The booking process varies depending on the group size, age, activities, etc. But we do try to make it as simple as possible regardless. Give us a call and we will check availability before explaining the remainder of the process.
What about the weather?
What about it? On the whole activities are carried out regardless of the weather. Each morning, and just before starting an activity, an assessment is made about the weather. Sometimes strong winds can make kayaking unsafe or winter cold may make surfing unsuitable. In these cases great alternatives will be found. Safety is never compromised.
What qualifications do the instructors have?
All Instructors are fully trained in the activities they deliver. All hold a first aid qualification, are signed off as competent and are regularly monitored to ensure the highest levels of safety and delivery standards are met. We also follow national governing body guidelines and fully comply with Activity Licensing regulations to ensure the correct staff are delivering the activities for which they are qualified.
What is the ratio on activities?
Our ratios vary depending on the activity; most activities have a working ratio of up to 1:10. Allowing younger groups to work in groups of 1:8 with the flexibility of teaching staff being able to join groups and activities as they wish, but we never exceed the ratio advised by the Governing Body of that sport.
How safe is it?
There is risk in all we do in life and outdoor activities are no exception. We cannot say there is no risk but careful management reduces this to a very acceptable level.
We are regularly inspected by several bodies: Adventure Activities Licensing Authority, BCU, RYA, Health & Safety Executive, many Local Education Authority inspectors, the insurance company, company health and safety departments and several others. Furthermore we have, and regularly risk assess, not only all activities but fire safety, kitchen hygiene, bunk beds, security and staircases to name but a few.
The BMC have published a booklet 'Young People - Climbing, Hill Walking, Mountaineering - A Parents Guide' which contains a good exploration of the risks associated with activities.
Further information on safety aspects can be found by following the links below:
'Young People - Climbing, Hill Walking, Mountaineering - A Parents Guide'
Approvals & Awards
Health & Safety Executive
For our full list of risk assessments contact the Skern office for your login and password to the teacher/leader zone.
Will I be made to do the activities?
Certainly not. Skern is about success and positive outcomes. The programmes are designed to have a variety of activities so that in a stay of a few days you will find, hopefully, all activities fun, some easy and some more challenging. No one will be made to do an activity they do not want to but equally we will encourage you to have a go. Skern is a great place to learn more about yourself and to achieve more than you thought you could.
What about transport to activities?
Many of the activities are on-site. For those off-site then either a local coach company is used or more normally, one of our minibuses. These are Passenger Carrying Vehicles (PCV) run under an operators licence and as such checked very regularly. All drivers have PCV licences and of course working seat belts are provided to each seat.
How secure is it for young clients?
Again, this area is risk assessed. Firstly they will never be off-site unsupervised. The buildings are locked at night (but they can be easily exited if need be e.g. fire) and all windows have restricted openings. There are both Skern staff and group leaders resident on-site. The gates are locked at night and the site well lit. All staff are carefully checked to ensure they are appropriate to work with children. All instructors have DBS (CRB) checks. When unaccompanied children visit, a Skern member of staff is allocated as 'house parent'.
Will there be other groups in at the same time?
Almost certainly. We are always very careful with our client mix. However, there are three completely separate accommodation units that are individually secure.
I have a food allergy, will I still be able to eat?
Of course. The food at Skern is renowned for quality and quantity. We always have vegetarian options and can cater for any dietary requirements but please let us know in advance.
Do I need to bring my own bedding?
No. Beds are made up for your arrival with duvets and pillows. The only thing you do need to remember to bring is a towel.
What equipment do I need to bring?
Only personal effects - clothes, shoes, towels etc. See the kit list to know what to pack. All adventure equipment is provided; it is modern, checked regularly and has quality standards where available. All bedding is provided but once again no towels so you do need to bring these.
Do I need much extra money?
Very little. Almost everything is included and any extras will have been clearly detailed before you book. We do have a small shop on-site that sells toiletries, sweets and drinks, postcards and t-shirts etc. There is also a small bar for adult clients so some "pocket money" is advisable but not necessary. There are soft drink vending machines on-site.
Photos & Videos used on this site
We would like to thank Brandeston Hall School & Bilton Grange School for providing us with many of the images used on the website. We have taken many of the photos ourselves, with kind permission of the many groups visiting the centre. To see more photos, you can visit our flickr webpage.
If you have some suitable photos from your experience at Skern Lodge that you would like to share, please get in contact with us.
I can't find the answer to my question!
If you can't find the answer to any of the questions you have please contact us. The team in the office love to talk and we are more than happy to help you with any queries you might have.
Giving feedback
We seek feedback from all our courses, either individually or from the party leader. But we always believe that any problem should be addressed whilst you are still staying with us. So if you are not happy, please let us know.
If you have had a great time at Skern Lodge and you would like to tell others about it, then please take time to write a short review to help spread the word. You can either do this on tripadvisor, facebook, google+ or on the contacts page

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

Great picture Frit. Can almost warm my hands in front of it. And I need to as it is supercold here - one of those frosts that turns the trees white. Not much planned though, so I can keep warm under the duvet for a bit longer
What half price shrubs are tempting you Verd?? Do tell
Popped into the GC yesterday to start browsing through the seed packets, and there were practically none there. Can anyone recall when they start selling them in earnest?
Here you go Fairy
Weekend starts here. Was hoping to fit some gardening in, but think I might be thwarted by the big freeze. For now, I am snuggled in front of the fire looking forward to some gardening telly.
Glad you made it safely Panda - have fun. And glad that Fairy's boiler saga (why are they always sagas?? - its not like they are rocket science) has come to a happy end.
How very very sad LilyP. Thinking of you and all her friends and family.
So glad all went well Matty - here's wishing you a speedy recovery
Some hydrangeas (especially the lace caps in my garden) do have dry, brittle stems - i think it is just their nature. Like yours, mine seem perfectly healthy and flower well, so I don't think it is a problem.
Morning all Blackbirds, milking, t-shirts .....my head is swimming and I haven't finished my first cuppa yet Glad to hear that Stumpy is a "stayer".
have a lovely time at the christening Panda - hope family are on good form
Stoke49er ....I think you'll find one pays more ....its all to do with the quality of the holes
Wind came whistling through here last night too - didn't do much for my beauty sleep. Will be a bit ragged today. OH has just been for a bit of an inspection, and thinks all looks ok. Must remember to put my bin out this morning - left it last night for exactly the reasons Dove saw.
went to gardening group last night - picked up a new snowdrop Mighty Atom. Need to find it a home this weekend
Morning all - we escaped the white stuff, so bau here
Hope Ma's teeth fit (Thats the nearest I could get to a smilie with teeth)

Very nice hotel on the edge of downtown Glasgow
Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was great for shopping, public transportation, food and shopping.
The hotel was centrally located. Some of the nearby streets seem somewhat to appealing...at night there was a group of individuals speaking loudly. We did have a problem with the hotels installation of different TV system in room. We were surprised to return to room and find a drawer open and items on bed, and could not make tv functional. No notices of this work was made before or after the work...and no instructions regarding how to usenet system (remote controls).
For the amount of money spent on this hotel, I was not expecting to have a room facing the central station. The front desk was not helpful at all, and did not help me at all with telling me how to get to the airport early in the morning. Breakfast was really good however.
Amazing staff, clean rooms, good area of town, close to central train station. Highly recommend

Thanks for your comments; probably will hang with 5n for a while...since retiring I have acquired way too many old lenses, Pentax, Konica, Minolta, Olympus, the Komine Vivitars, yayayaya. And the NEX does do fine with these. Must be cabin fever...the Fuji X100s suddenly seems appealing, new sensor also, no AA filter. Yep cabin fever.

Andrew Ross Sorkin is co-anchor of "Squawk Box" (M-F, 6AM-9AM ET), CNBC's signature morning program. Sorkin is also a financial columnist for The New York Times and the editor-at-large of DealBook, a news site he founded that is published by The Times.
Sorkin is the author of the best-selling book, "Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System—and Themselves," which chronicled the events of the 2008 financial crisis. The book won the 2010 Gerald Loeb Award for Best Business Book, and was shortlisted for the 2010 Samuel Johnson Prize and the 2010 Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award. The book was adapted as a movie by HBO Films in 2011. Sorkin was a co-producer of the film, which was nominated for 11 Emmy Awards.
Over the years, Sorkin has broken news on many major mergers and acquisitions, including Chase's acquisition of JPMorgan and Hewlett-Packard's acquisition of Compaq. He also led The Times's coverage of Vodafone's $183 billion hostile bid for Mannesmann, resulting in the world's largest takeover ever.
He won a Gerald Loeb Award in 2004 for breaking the news of IBM's historic sale of its PC business to Lenovo. He was also a finalist in the commentary category for his DealBook column. He won a Society of American Business Editors and Writers Award for breaking news in 2005 and again in 2006. In 2007, the World Economic Forum named him a Young Global Leader. In 2008 and 2009, Vanity Fair named him to its "Next Establishment" list. He was also named to the "Directorship 100," a list of the most influential people on the nation's board of directors. He is a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Sorkin began writing for The New York Times in 1995 under unusual circumstances: He hadn't yet graduated from high school.
He graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. degree in May 1999.
