Ok who ever invented the saying "there is no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing" has a screw loose, I'm telling you matey you are wrong!
Why do we brits make out it's Ok to put up with all this rain I mean we have been away on four short breaks so far (4 and 5 nights) and the only dry one we had was two days at Stowford and even then the pitch was a quagmire.
On the last trip we had the heavens opened and there was no sign of it letting up the 5 year old grandson wants occupying so we get out the colouring, finish that and then do the dot to dot "has it stopped yet gaga" no, we can count all the buttons on the front seats, then we count his piggy bank "when can I spend it gaga"!!!!
Then it happens "gaga can we play the DS" now by this time I'm fed up and to add insult to injury I know I'm about to be beaten by a 5 year old on an electronic gizzmo--Grrrrr Yes Jack of course we can!!! And true to my fears yes I get beat. After an hour or so of this I suggest a game of cards, snap perhaps-- yes you guessed it he beat me. “Has it stopped raining yet Gaga”
The rain does starts to ease and Ive got to walk Buddy so the wet weather gear goes on which incidentally is never fully water proof, is it? and off we trot to the dog walk. The mist starts to descend and on walking along the dog walk he is let off the lead and we head towards the big paddock and by the time we get to the paddock he's nowhere to be seen the mist is that dense and he is only about 20 foot in front of me. The mist then starts to disappear as quickly as it came. Then thinking about my next play time with Jack we head back to the van and yes the heavens open again and we are drenched, get back to the van and get the doggy towel out and try to dry him off, then it hits you the wet doggy aroma, Gee he stinks so shout to OH for the doggy deodorant give him a quick blast and he smells better than the OH!!!
“Gaga why cant we go the play area”
Next day we pack up --- in the rain, head home and the sun comes out, great hang the awning out to dry, power wash the groundsheet, oh no you dont the rain has put in another appearance
Why am I writing this -----------ITS RAINING
Is it time to renew the Passport?
Then I could sit in airports for hours on end , eat foreign food that I dont like, try to speak to people that dont understand my lingo, arrive at the hotel in an un godley hour and find the clean bedding has blood on the pillow case, chuck it across the room then jump up and down on it! Then take it to reception throw a tantrum and they then give me a clean one, to put on myself I hasten to add, now have you tried putting a pillow case on in a bad mood?
We are away in the van in next weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!----- Don’t think I will need that passport
Happy(wet) caravanning folks.
