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 →
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 →
Hitched up and Back to Site
Up early, early today. Well, 8am, early for me when I’m not working. The big piles of clobber that we’ve been building around the house were cleverly stashed in the car. Taking a few more bits than this time last year. I’d planned on having a few days off in the first month or so... 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 →
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 →
