The All New Bailey Phoenix

This time last year we were lucky enough to be invited along to the launch of the Bailey Unicorn Series 4. This year we're heading towards Swindon again and the Stanton Hotel for the launch of Bailey's new Phoenix. The Phoenix is replacing the Pursuit. I love my Pursuit so I'm looking forward to seeing...

Hengistbury Head and a chat with Chris Evans

Up and at 'em early doors this morning. Run the hoover round the awning. Give the table a wipe, run a cloth around the bathroom and check we've got cold drinks in the fridge. We've got company coming. Denise and Jez, fellow first year wardens that we met on training to become assistant wardens way... Continue Reading →

Bournemouth and Burgers

Bacon butties on a wet Thursday, day off, cooked on the teppanyaki and slathered in brown sauce. Sitting in the awning with the Jellybeans, they're visiting again, and they fancied some New Forest sunshine for a few days. However, as with most half terms the weather has changed, cracking the flags last week, this week... Continue Reading →

Half term week with Twitter friends

It's been a full on busy week here on site during half term. It started with a manic full on couple of days which saw the site fill to the brim, luckily for us we were off for those days, the Bank Holiday weekend. Saturday brought a lazy start and a tandem ride into the... Continue Reading →

The New Forest Gift

The Boss' heart sank as his personal challenge/objective for the first year as an Assistant Warden was to build a herb garden. "...but I'm not very creative... but there's no power tools on site... when will I have time" he spluttered in half-hearted excuses. While he may not be so creative, he likes a puzzle...

Pyjamas and Prosecco

After a bit of a manic week, it's time for some downtime. A day off earlier in the week took us home to MOT my trusted steed, the Ford Focus. Despite hardly being used this year and slowly getting dirtier and dirtier the old faithful passed with flying colours. We've had the Focus from new,... Continue Reading →

A Jellybean Visit

Seven weeks after starting the new job and living in the caravan we finally feel settled and that we've got the caravan and the awning as we want them. So much so that we've got the weekend off and rather than go home we've invited our Jellybeans across to visit. It was a bit hit... Continue Reading →

Our New Home is …

Training is done and dusted. I've come away knackered. It's a long time since I sat in a classroom, I don't know how kids do it, although, maybe I do, their learning days are shorter than ours were. We're now armed and ready for the season. I've driven a tractor and a ride on lawn... Continue Reading →

Holiday Music Themes

Lying on a sunbed on our balcony in January, a winter break before our new life adventures start. What to do to break the boredom of fifteen minutes each side like a rotisserie chicken? For us it's always been music. It's themed our lives from a very young age. For me, prior to meeting The... Continue Reading →

The Caravan Shop

What could be better on a dull January afternoon than a quick trip to the local Caravan Shop? Outside it's cold and damp but I still can't resist a quick shufty in and out of some vans on the forecourt. New vans, old vans, I like to look, I can't help myself. A Swift Basecamp... Continue Reading →
