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 →
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...

Our Radio Book Review
Sat here in Lanzarote, it's just gone 6pm and I'm tuned into my local radio station from home, Wey Valley radio. Andy and Sarah introduce the Doobie Brothers as the Sunday Magazine show begins. Chopping some fruit for the sangria, Bluetooth speaker in position. Time to listen in. It's been a while since we published... Continue Reading →
Poolside
The sun is beating down, our walk along the front has led us to a complex advertising a poolside bar, open to all. In need of liquid refreshment and a napkin to wipe my sweaty brow, we venture in, pick a table in the shade, order a couple of Sangrias and sit back hoping to... Continue Reading →
