Whilst some may say this year has been the hardest year of their lives, looking back now, I think with hindsight, we personally, were blessed. This time last year we were heading into the New Year with lots of changes about to happen in our lives. We’d just returned from the most magical last Christmas... Continue Reading →
Our Pre Christmas Break Part 2
* Mega fail again. We’ve been home for almost two weeks and I’ve just spotted that this blog hadn’t been published. I really do need to get my mojo back. The skies are the brightest blue, the sea twinkles and the sun warms my face, well if I was in Lanzarote that’s what it would... 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 →
End of our Season
“That’ll be £79.02 please, have you stayed with us before?” “Yes, loads of times.” “Have you stayed with us since the world went upside down?” Well, to say our season this year has been different would be an understatement. Our arrival on site was different this year, we arrived to an already almost full site.... Continue Reading →
Up a Big Hill, Broadway Tower and Chipping Campden
The sun is cracking the flags, an Indian summer in September. Site is full and the smell of barbecues lingers on the little breeze that there is. A day off and unbelievably, I’m not tired. I seem to spend a lot of my free time too tired to do anything and have been spending any... Continue Reading →
Campsite Reopening
It's been a week since we re opened. It's been a full on week and I forgot to publish this blog as time just ran away with itself. A glass of Coke and an early night ahead of opening still left me crawling out of bed rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, aching and... 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 →
Time to Tandem
We can now go out, but not 'out out.' Lockdown has been eased a little and I'm missing seeing the world outside those gates so much. The Boss has finished his Lands End to John o’Groats ride on site and I'm wearing the site out walking round, spotting killer wildlife and listening to podcasts. As... Continue Reading →
John o’Groats, Worcestershire
As I ride over the finish line I am conscious that I can actually see where I started 909 miles ago, Lands End, Worcestershire. What was the point? The point was that I had an opportunity, an opportunity not to be wasted. We returned from our Lanzarote winter holiday feeling very well watered and fed.... 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 →
