It's been a while in construction but the Festival of Lights at Longleat is ready and it's looking like it's bigger and better than in previous years. Having been assistants at the Caravan and Motorhome Club Site next door we've watched the dedicated team go backwards and forwards daily into Longleat as they build the... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
It's silly O'clock, 6.30am to be precise. There are never two 6.30's in any of my days, unless a flight somewhere nice dictates I get up early. Well, in a strange sort of way, a flight, or multiple flights are dictating that I get up early today. There has been traffic activity outside our compound... Continue Reading →
Going back to our guy rope and tent peg days are a fond but dim and distant memory. Memories of holidays we could barely afford under canvas, we camped in all weathers even snow, with two young children. Even back in those days we used it as a way of meeting up with friends. A... Continue Reading →
Composting toilets. Where do I start? I have a toilet phobia, I struggle to... go. Depending on circumstance. I don't hold onto it, I don't try to make myself ill, if the surroundings aren't right, it just doesn't happen. Nothing moves. My sister moved to The States years ago. We spent three glorious weeks absorbing... Continue Reading →
We're off on the road again. After our last trip to the New Forest, I'm a little more organised. I started to throw stuff, willy nilly into the van the night before, so, when our shift finishes, I'm still in uniform as he is motor moving the van out of our compound and into late...

I've done nowt but moan for the past few hours, nothing new there, according to The Boss. Since taking the awning down a few weeks ago, lifting the legs, hitching up and hitting the road and heading towards Burford we vowed we'd take the van off site and away again on our next available days...

It's been bonkers busy at work. I've been in the office all afternoon and the telephone hasn't stopped ringing. 'I'd like to make a booking' has been said more times than I can count. A motorhome pulls into view, our other assistant wardens back from a few days away at the seaside. I'm just a... Continue Reading →
Days off are precious, The Boss declares on this one that he's taking me out for lunch, he's got a plan, he knows where we're going, but he's not telling. Just a quick half hour drive he tells me, 'Get in the car.' Probably the longest half hour drive from Longleat we've ever done. It... Continue Reading →
