What a start to our first ever caravanning experience - beautiful perfect weather and our lovely neighbours accompanying us to be 'on hand' for any first time teething problems. Stayed at CC Broadway - beautiful and very friendly fellow caravanners. Dogs on site, never a problem and two cats in a cage outside as well! Loved the experience, and slept quite well considering it was a new experience. Even managed to rig the fairy lights around the awning for Sat night - very homely.
A couple of minor niggles with the van which we'll let the dealer know when it's in to have the mover fitted. Some funny moments - our 15 and half year old son stomping around in the van and flomping down onto the seats, slamming delicate cupboard doors etc. - must teach him the 'caravan walk' and to be gentle. He loved it, despite being quite poorly - I think he was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and how 'like home it looks Mum with your candles flickering in the window' (they were flameless!). And me soaking my OH with water as he asked me to turn on the tap at the chemical disposal - he was worried people wouldn't think it was water!).
Towing to and from was smooth, and the telling comment of the weekend was yesterday as we pulled up onto our drive when my husband sighed and said quite simply, "I wish we were still on holiday there, I can't wait to retire and then you can commute from where ever we're staying to work!" I don't think so mate as I'm ten years younger than you - you can jog on and wait until I can join you fully!! We are already looking to book for w/e 24 March if we can get somewhere quite near. Loved it!
