It's been a long, hot summer. This is the longest I've ever done without a holiday and a warden's life certainly isn't a holiday. Silly season has just finished, cars packed with sun cream, windbreaks and screaming children wave at us as they drive out of the site, thanking us for a great stay and... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since the wheels on the tandem turned. This weekend feels like a good weekend to get the legs burning and the wheels turning. As much as we are out of shape now the good old Brookes saddles fit like a glove as soon as we sit on them. The breeze is... Continue Reading →
Our youngest Jellybean and her boyfriend have come to spend the day with us. Armed with huge bottles of water, snacks and swimming costumes they fall out of their car and into our compound, just as the sun disappears behind threatening grey clouds. After a beautiful morning a quick check of the BBC weather app... Continue Reading →
Up and at 'em early doors this morning. Run the hoover round the awning. Give the table a wipe, run a cloth around the bathroom and check we've got cold drinks in the fridge. We've got company coming. Denise and Jez, fellow first year wardens that we met on training to become assistant wardens way... Continue Reading →
Bacon butties on a wet Thursday, day off, cooked on the teppanyaki and slathered in brown sauce. Sitting in the awning with the Jellybeans, they're visiting again, and they fancied some New Forest sunshine for a few days. However, as with most half terms the weather has changed, cracking the flags last week, this week... Continue Reading →
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 →
After another toilet block cleaning workout, the sun is still shining and it's time to finish our shift. The weather has been glorious now for about a week, with us having a swelteringly hot Bank Holiday. Today it is a couple of degrees cooler, not many, but enough to make it feel a bit more...

After an eventful flight, Lanzarote welcomed us with a sunny embrace. Fiat 500 hire car collected, "Do you need a map Sir?" "No thanks, you only have one road" replied The Boss, there is more than one road but he would rather get lost than buy a map. First stop Lidl, for essential supplies, killed... Continue Reading →
Probably the most important element of touring, living or working in the confined space of a caravan or motorhome is that you actually 'like' the people confined in the same space with you. Luckily, we do, despite the occasional urge to throttle one another with the electric hook up lead. Long standing friends and acquaintances... Continue Reading →
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...
