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 →
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 →
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 →
Easter in Lockdown
Easter came and went in a flurry of rabbits, pheasants, pigeons and bucket loads of sunshine. What should have been our busiest weekend of the season turned out just to be like any other day at the moment, no sign of the Easter Bunny either, he must’ve seen the sign on the locked gates and...

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 →
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 →
Longleat Food and Drink Festival
After a very miserable and damp start to June, I rub the sleep out of my eyes to clear blue skies and the sun streaming through the skylight above our bed. Lions roaring in the distance, only in Wiltshire! Lazy morning off from site duties. Up, showered and dressed, we amble round the corner into... Continue Reading →
Our Caravan Store Cupboard
As the season races on and folk start to think about winding up the legs and hitching up, possibly for the first time this season, this is when people start to make lists in order to re pack their vans after their hibernation over the dark winter months. The green winter storage jackets are carefully... Continue Reading →
Bury Market
On a good day, weather wise, you can walk into Bury Market from Burrs Country Park Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, with the biblical rain we've had since we landed in Bury we decide to drive into town. Parking is plentiful and cheap, a small mortgage is required back home for parking, here, a couple... Continue Reading →
Northern Delicacies
A trip back to Burrs Country Park in the caravan, to visit family just before Christmas, opened my eyes to some of the northern delicacies our taste buds have been missing since we moved South twelve years ago. Not necessarily healthy foods but definitely tasty foods. One thing to note about the majority of the... Continue Reading →
