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 →
Here We Go! Wagons Roll!
June was a bonkers month. We sold our house way back in January whilst lazing in the sun in Lanzarote. We returned bronzed and refreshed, ready for work hoping that our house move was imminent. Covid19 put paid to that plan. Three months on furlough, in lockdown on site and just as Boris starts easing... Continue Reading →
Podcasts, Stargazing and Wildlife
Days are now only defined by the sleep in between them and that’s not good at the minute. Struggling to settle at bed time and struggling to crawl out of my pit in a morning. Whilst The Boss passes Inverness cycling round site on his virtual Lands End to John O’Groats I needed something to... Continue Reading →
Our New Home for 2020 is…
I haven’t slept a wink, I think I’ve seen every hour of the night. My brain buzzing is with a list of things to do. It’s been like sitting at a computer with a thousand tabs open and unable to close any of them down. Tabs open for things I need to pack, sort, put... Continue Reading →
Looking Back on 2019
2019 started with a bang, 6 weeks this time in Lanzarote. 6 whole weeks of nothing but sunshine and recharging our batteries in readiness for our season at Longleat. The Jellybeans flew out and had a lovely week with us too. Just days after the plane hitting the tarmac at Gatwick we are hitching up... Continue Reading →
Longleat
At the end of a 2 mile narrow lane with plenty of passing places, Longleat CAMC Site is situated right next door to the Safari Park. A 50 metre walk or a half mile drive to the Safari Park. The Safari Park is so close that you will hear the animals from the comfort of... Continue Reading →
Hooray Henleys
We said goodbye to the Motorhome Chit Chats in the rain, wound the legs up and ventured towards our last stop of our winter break, Henley Four Oaks Caravan and Motorhome Club Site. Dodging the rain drops we make it to site in good time and a break in the rain clouds. We are informed... Continue Reading →
Cambridge – Cherry Hinton
Leaving Ferry Meadows Caravan and Motorhome Club Site early did come with one downside, we had planned to refuel the car. '80 miles remaining' the dashboard informed us, down to 75 by the barrier, 65 by the road and 'so on' until it settled at 40 by the A1. The Volvo computer had sussed it... Continue Reading →
Ferry Meadows
Just a two night stop on the Caravan and Motorhome Site, mainly to visit friends. Pulling onto a pitch, not too far from the service point and not too far from the loos. Whilst being out on this trip we are doing what we've observed folk doing all season. Wanting to be near either the... Continue Reading →
Chatsworth – A Deer Do
"Is that Spire twisted" I ask as we drive through Chesterfield towards the Chatsworth Caravan and Motorhome Club Site. "It is", he says smuggly, "It's why the football team are nicknamed the Spireites". Surely this defect should have been fixed at the 'snagging' stage. We are keen to see the site, it is busy all...
