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 →

Exbury Gardens

Glorious sunshine with a promise of rain later so we are up and at 'em early. We've been told by members visiting the Centenary Site that Exbury Gardens is stunningly beautiful at the moment. Somehow, I don't know how, I've managed to talk him into going. It's not a free day out and he winces... Continue Reading →

A Grand Day Out – Bucklers Hard

After another toilet block cleaning workout, the sun is still shining and it's time to finish our shift. The weather has been glorious now for about a week, with us having a swelteringly hot Bank Holiday. Today it is a couple of degrees cooler, not many, but enough to make it feel a bit more...

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 →

An Anniversary Ride

Bit of a lie in today, 9am start at work. It's only a short shift, finishing at 2pm. Followed by a day off tomorrow and a lunchtime start the day after. Days off have been plentiful since we started the new job. Not much time to ourselves though, due to various commitments and going home... 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 →

Lanzarote… Sun, Sea, Sand & S.. S.. Socialising

Probably the most important element of touring, living or working in the confined space of a caravan or motorhome is that you actually 'like' the people confined in the same space with you. Luckily, we do, despite the occasional urge to throttle one another with the electric hook up lead. Long standing friends and acquaintances... Continue Reading →

A New Job and The Caravan Joins Us 

Summer 2017. A quick twenty minute process on the PC, the finger hovers momentarily, then, we hit the 'send' button. Twenty years ago, balmy summer evenings sat outside our frame tents, or on the cooler evenings in a tent, in various parts of the UK with our oldest and dearest friends, Mags and Oniss. Kids...

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 →
