Pink and Blue Jobs

It makes sense that when setting up or packing up the caravan that we have, as a couple, our own jobs. These jobs generally are chosen between couples depending on choice and ability. Whilst I'm very aware that everyone will do things differently, these are our pink and blue jobs. Arriving on site: Towing the... Continue Reading →

All Done … Our Final Day at Longleat

It's dark outside, rain plops on the roof of the caravan as I rub the sleep from my eyes and curse Siri for setting my alarm clock when I asked him too. Way back at the start of March we arrived here on site excited about the season ahead. Well, today, eight months later and... Continue Reading →

An Early Morning and a Trip to the Motorhome and Caravan Show.

Up with the lark, or even before the lark and the crows and the sparrows. The rain has been thundering on the caravan roof for most of the night and it's still falling heavily from the dark night skies as I stumble out the the van door at ridiculous o'clock in the morning. In real... Continue Reading →

Twitter Camp #TC4T

It's taken me a while to get my act together and put this blog together, my blogging mojo has dipped a bit, I need to try to get it back. It's a blog I needed to write about an event I'm glad we had the opportunity to attend, in memory of a man, I'm glad... Continue Reading →

Frome Independent Traders Market

We'd seen the signs at the sides of the road earlier in the week and chosen to either not read them or ignore them, they won't apply to us. 'Frome Independent Traders Market, this Sunday' they'd clearly stated all week. Why would we want to go into Frome on a Bank Holiday Sunday? Why take... 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 →

Exbury Gardens

Glorious sunshine with a promise of rain later so we are up and at 'em early. We've been told by members visiting the Centenary Site that Exbury Gardens is stunningly beautiful at the moment. Somehow, I don't know how, I've managed to talk him into going. It's not a free day out and he winces... Continue Reading →

Our New Home is …

Training is done and dusted. I've come away knackered. It's a long time since I sat in a classroom, I don't know how kids do it, although, maybe I do, their learning days are shorter than ours were. We're now armed and ready for the season. I've driven a tractor and a ride on lawn... Continue Reading →

A New Job and The Caravan Joins Us 

Summer 2017. A quick twenty minute process on the PC, the finger hovers momentarily, then, we hit the 'send' button. Twenty years ago, balmy summer evenings sat outside our frame tents, or on the cooler evenings in a tent, in various parts of the UK with our oldest and dearest friends, Mags and Oniss. Kids...

The Caravan Shop

What could be better on a dull January afternoon than a quick trip to the local Caravan Shop? Outside it's cold and damp but I still can't resist a quick shufty in and out of some vans on the forecourt. New vans, old vans, I like to look, I can't help myself. A Swift Basecamp... Continue Reading →
