York

We arrived at Beechwood Grange CAMC Site yesterday in the bright, blindingly low winter sunshine. The sun visor had been up and down like a tart's knickers on the trip here. Due to lack of rain over the last few days the roads are drier than they've been for the rest of the trip so... Continue Reading →

Bury and Bolton – An Annual Pilgrimage

Goodbye Wales and back to England. The day is dull, damp and grey. Oh the joys of caravanning in the winter. The roads are kind to us and the traffic flows easily. The roads towards the North West display their industry proudly in the mizzly gloom. Roads become familiar very quickly even though we are... Continue Reading →

The Tour Starts with the Lights of Broadway.

After a lazy morning the hall is cleared of caravan clutter that's been piled up as we remember things over the last couple of days. The Volvo is packed to the gunnels and purrs along nicely on this cold and frosty morning as we head to storage to pick the caravan up. Shivering my bits... Continue Reading →

Escape Time

It's been bonkers busy at work. I've been in the office all afternoon and the telephone hasn't stopped ringing. 'I'd like to make a booking' has been said more times than I can count. A motorhome pulls into view, our other assistant wardens back from a few days away at the seaside. I'm just a... Continue Reading →

Our Leaky Awning… Make Do and Mend

All set up for season two and the heavens open. Rain, Rain, Go away. Come again another day. Only it didn't go away, but it did come again the following day. We bought our awning a couple of years ago, in anticipation of starting the job. There is no way we'd have such a big... Continue Reading →

Season done – Goodbye New Forest

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....

If the Caravan’s a Rockin’

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 →

Half term week with Twitter friends

It's been a full on busy week here on site during half term. It started with a manic full on couple of days which saw the site fill to the brim, luckily for us we were off for those days, the Bank Holiday weekend. Saturday brought a lazy start and a tandem ride into the... Continue Reading →

Spring 

I looked forward to wrapping up in fluffy jumpers and hot chocolate in front of the fire. Kicking at the leaves and praying for snow. I've had enough now. Dark mornings and even darker in the late afternoons. Grey and dismal days. Trying to dodge the showers and listening to the wind. It's dark when... Continue Reading →
