"I'm so stupid" proclaimed the stupid woman at the car park ticket machine. "Oh no, we are all stupid until we know better" we replied to make her feel less stupid. She finally mastered the art of scanning her National Trust membership card then stupidly left the ticket flapping in the slot of the machine.... Continue Reading →
We waved our last guests goodbye with cheery smiles and promises to return next year, the site was suddenly quiet. Birdsong blasted all around just as the warden announced to those of us not able to wave our final goodbyes that the final guest had left the building. Time to crack on, lots to do....

It's been a strange year on site for me as far as animals are concerned. Especially dogs. From a very young age, in fact as long as I can remember, I've had a fear of dogs. I'd cross the road to avoid passing one in the street. I'd not visit someone if they had a... Continue Reading →
Just a matter of days left of the season. This time next week and we'll be on our holidays. The start of our four months off work. Still so much to do on site, the holiday seems like it's still a long way off. A little over eight months ago we drove onto site, leaving... Continue Reading →
Up early. A light mist envelopes the site as bleary eyed I step out of the van and head for the bathroom. Of late, an early morning mist has normally been a good indicator of a nice day ahead. Fingers crossed, we are off to Southampton again, with The Volvo. It's developed a leak on... Continue Reading →

Since The Boss sold my Focus the other week I've been forced to drive the Volvo. Not a happy bunny really, anyone who knows him knows that he hates spending money. Today, he had to dig deep into his pockets and pay to have the spring loaded start,stop button and key fixed. Many moons ago... Continue Reading →
The following article had to be written, but did not need to be published. With the exception of a few updates it had remained unpublished for three years. It may be... no.... probably is, self indulgent, but this is ‘The Wobble’ occasionally referenced in our blogs and it has defined our lives ever since. There's... Continue Reading →
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 →
