Who can relate to this as per Helen Piddick-Jones;
We’re off to a caravan site again, it’s really not that far. We’ve packed the van, the kids and gran – filled up the towing car. The legs won’t wind, the hitch lock’s stuck, our tempers start to fray. We’ve too much stuff! We’re overweight! We will never get away.
We meant to start at half past six to beat the queues and crush, but never mind its only eight, who needs such haste and rush. With fingers crossed we ease away, who left the handbrake on? The roads are blocked, the fog is thick, the nightmare’s just begun.
We’ve reached the site – six hours went fast! The rain we just ignore. The awnings split, the dog’s been sick, we by the loos once more! We all hooked up, the water’s on, a cup of tea all round? The milk’s gone off, the beds are damp, the pegs won’t crack the ground’
The warden’s like a dragon, the neighbour’s straight from hell. The kids are fighting, gran’s got drunk, I’ve hurt by back as well!
But then………
We’ve got the barbeque set up, the rain, at last, has stopped. Our friends are round, the meat is cooked, the bottle tops have popped. The site is great, the view unmatched, the sun it feels quite hot. We love our van all cares are gone – this life has got the lot!
