Wednesday is the night we moderators all go clubbing, and didn't get in 'till 3am this morning.It seems all the Moddies have taken the same time off together. What a waste, I could have been naughty if I'd known :O(
Well. Progress report. As we enter our 6th Month of our chosen lifestyle, I'm pleased to report that we have taken everything that winter has had to throw at us, and we're still loving it. Some of the gales we've been through, have been fearsome, and enough to send the caravan and awning into orbit, but we're still OK. Good guy ropes, and long metal pegs are the secret.
We've also floored out the awning with 4 sheets of 8' X 4' 19mm tanolised board on 3" X 2" treated bearers to keep the floor off the ground, and dry and damp away. It's been a huge success.
Our gas cylinder (6Kg Propane) finally ran out on March 19th...having lasted since December 20th......absolutely amazing.
Although we enjoy where we are and the people around us sometimes we lust for the wide open spaces with no one around. Unfortunatley not many places like that in the Worcestershire area.Hi again everyone,
Glad to hear you are all ok and have come through the snow and wind unscathed.
We too have been lucky and have weathered the weather without mishap.
It was actually exciting on Sunday morning to get up to a white world and a blizzard. We were out 'playing' with the dogs before breakfast and had loads of photos of it all to send to all our housebound friends
We moved last week to another site...A fantastic spot in the midle of nowhere with hardstanding and electric and NOBODY else here!!
My new job enables me to 'work from home' so I get to enjoy the peace and wildlife all day, whilst hubby has to go into the real world to work!
Only one blot on the horizon, this afternoon I as stung by Bee52 whilst having half an hour sunbathingStill I'd much rather be here than back in bricks and mortar!!
I totally agree with the comments about acclimatising... We too have cast of jumpers and coats for most of the time and it has to be really cold to put them back on!
Nice to speak to likeminded people.
Its marvellous
Chris,
I've registered our car in my daughters name so that we can tax it. I insure the car in my name using her address. Any other important postal links I handle via the collect from the sorting office system or by redirection.
I think Scotish lad is a little wide of the mark though.
We are using our caravan as wehave had to sell our property to reduce expendature. This was done as we are in rel terms having to deal with double figure inflation and not the poxy 2.5% that the Gordon is dreaming up!
If could afford
