Caravanning solo?

[LizziePope]

Does anyone here go caravanning alone? Our Test Editor unexpectedly found himself doing just that at our Reader Rally – read his latest blog.

Yes! I've caravanned alone since my wife died four years ago. Initially I sold my van and all the equipment immediately after her death, but very soon I realized that life goes on and that I'd made a mistake. Now I go away to Spain for four months in the winter where I find more people to chat to than I ever would if I stayed at home.

I lost my wife two and a half years ago, and it left a big void in my life.Wendy used to love going away in the van which is a Lunar Delta TI. My first thought was to sell up, but i know she wouldn't want me to loose the freedom it gave us, so i now go solo. The first time is very strange as i used to sort out outside and Wendy sorted the inside, so it now takes me a lot longer to sort out. I have changed a lot of things so to makes things easier, this is an on going project. It still seems odd, but i am now getting out again and making new friends.
