17 days working at Burrs Country Park flew by in the blink of an eye. Having only worked March till November before, I toughed it out and carried on wearing my shorts. Not sure if that was a good idea or not, the weather we’ve had has been inclement to say the least. I suppose... Continue Reading →
New Forest, Our First Trip of the Year
It’s been a while, almost a year, since we had our last caravan holiday. Despite having eight months on site this year, it certainly wasn’t a holiday. Our last sighting of the sea was way back in January when life was normal. We are craving the sight, the sound and the smell of the waves.... Continue Reading →
Brighton – First Trip of 2020

Recharging the Batteries
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 →
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.
