After a bright and blustery day out and about on site watching folk take their awnings down in anticipation of the forecasted storm that was brewing, we just had to sit back and hope our awning and storm straps would cope. It survived the Beast from the East earlier in the year so fingers crossed.... Continue Reading →
It's been a long, hot summer. This is the longest I've ever done without a holiday and a warden's life certainly isn't a holiday. Silly season has just finished, cars packed with sun cream, windbreaks and screaming children wave at us as they drive out of the site, thanking us for a great stay and... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since the wheels on the tandem turned. This weekend feels like a good weekend to get the legs burning and the wheels turning. As much as we are out of shape now the good old Brookes saddles fit like a glove as soon as we sit on them. The breeze is... Continue Reading →
Our youngest Jellybean and her boyfriend have come to spend the day with us. Armed with huge bottles of water, snacks and swimming costumes they fall out of their car and into our compound, just as the sun disappears behind threatening grey clouds. After a beautiful morning a quick check of the BBC weather app... Continue Reading →
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...

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 →
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 →
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 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...

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 →
