Setting up in stifling heat gets you just as wet as setting up in the rain. First impressions of this site are really good. We receive a lovely welcome from the warden who, it turns out, apparently lived just a few doors away from us, albeit 40 years ago. The site has a gate at... Continue Reading →
Waking to rain on a day when you have to pack up is never a good start. Fortunately, we took the canopy down the night before, so at least we didn’t have to transport it soaking wet. Not only was it wet, it was cold too. It was that proper wet rain, the kind that... Continue Reading →
The next trip is planned. Unlike our spontaneous trips to Europe, where we just plan the first night and then wing it, this year we’re staying in the UK, so everything has had to be booked in advance. Apparently, this is what responsible adults do. I can’t say I’m entirely comfortable with it. Now all... Continue Reading →
Our first outing of the year and, if I’m honest, we are not remotely prepared. Back in September we had a new axle fitted to our Bailey Pursuit. It had been showing signs of dropping for a few years, and the time finally came when we couldn’t ignore it any longer. While it was in... Continue Reading →
The weather has been cracking the flags for the last few weeks and true to form just as we decide to take the caravan out the forecast turns wet. Luckily, day by day as our arrival date gets closer the good old BBC start to change their predictions, it might not be that bad after... Continue Reading →
Heading into our tenth week here at Burrs Country Park. The season is racing by at a speed of knots that I’m finding hard to keep up with. A lady on site said hello today, she said they’d decided to come to Burrs after following my blog. Then the penny dropped, I need to get... Continue Reading →
Falling behind in getting the words out of my fingers into the blog. Lack of caravan time this last couple of years has given me little motivation to write. We’ve been back home now a couple of weeks and it feels like a lifetime ago. Our one and only holiday this year, 4 nights at... Continue Reading →
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 →
6 weeks ago, on site at Broadway, toilet clean just finished, cuppa in hand, a quiet moment to check the emails. There’s a couple regarding training, one saying we’d had a parcel delivered and another asking for short term winter cover at a couple of sites. Working just over an 8 month contract away from...

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 →
