A Taste of the North

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 →

Burrrrrr(s)… Where’s Mi Big Coat?

6 weeks ago, on site at Broadway, toilet clean just finished, cuppa in hand, a quiet moment to check the emails. There’s a couple regarding training, one saying we’d had a parcel delivered and another asking for short term winter cover at a couple of sites. Working just over an 8 month contract away from...

Cheerio Broadway

Good morning Broadway! One last shift and then our time here is done. Two amazing, challenging, tough seasons have come to an end. Awake bright and early, well dark and early as the chemical toilet tank is full and I’m busting for a wee. Pulling on my work fleece I troop across to our compound... Continue Reading →

Bourton on the Water, Bumble Bees, Birdsong and No Bogs

We forgot the table, the Aqua roll handle, his crocs and I seem to be missing one lot of my tablets. We do this time, have my white bra if that’s any consolation. As per usual with our planning we woke to the greyist of skies and that fine stuff that wets you through. Bin... Continue Reading →

Out and About in the Malvern Hills

Felt strange waking naturally on our first morning to peace and quiet. No noise, just birdsong. Falling out of bed into our own shower rather than bumbling along to the toilet block, I think this might be the way to go for us. Curls scrunched and air dried, butties and a generous chunk of pork... Continue Reading →

Malvern Hills, Rain, Rain, Go Away

I’ve hoovered, I’ve dusted. I’ve emptied the cupboards and changed the bedding. I cleaned and stocked the fridge and given the bathroom a wipe over. I found the remote for the motor mover and remembered to shove the cadac in the boot. One more sleep and one more shift. Work flew by in a haze... Continue Reading →

One More Sleep…

Back to work in anticipation of opening on the 12th and we’ve been busy little bees. With sites having been closed since Christmas there’s been a lot to do. The pitch markers are scrubbed and back in place. The bollards are washed and ready for electric leads. We’ve filled the bird feeders more than once... Continue Reading →

A Very Quiet Easter Weekend

We thought that our Easter experience last year was a one off, little did we know as we chomped on Easter eggs on an empty site back in 2020 that history would be repeating itself one year on! If you’d have told me back at the start of 2020 that I’d see two Easters on... Continue Reading →

Back to Work – Furloughed

It’s good being back on site, if nothing else it’s a change of scenery. Once again, furlough dictates no work, for now. Time to enjoy our lockdown garden whilst the peace reigns. A walk around is once again, soothing and relaxing, just what we need. Not quite the experience we had when lockdown was announced... 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 →
