The dark nights are drawing in, the clocks have gone back and the temperature has dropped. Site wardens all over the UK are leaf blowing and hanging up their keys for the season. This can only mean one thing. Lots of people will be putting their caravans into storage until next spring. This is something... 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 →
A Trip to the Caravan
Snow flakes still falling but not amounting to anything. Big coat on, boots on and out into the cold. We keep our caravan a mile away on a local farm. With our start back at work date looming at the end of the month we need to start thinking about getting ready and that means... Continue Reading →
2020! What a Year!
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 →
Quirky Front Doors
I've had a 'thing' for pretty front doors for a long time. It all started when I realised that we had actually been living in the house of my dreams for a few years and took a photo of our own front door, just to remind me in the future of how lucky I've been... 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 →
