A quiet few days

Monday was a time to relax after the hectic weekend and we were pleased to see our friends Cedric and Dot arrive back in their huge Monaco Dynasty. There’s no comparison between the two RV’s Cedric’s is akin to a Rolls Royce where ours is more akin to a Ford Escort. Though size doesn’t matter does it girls?

Monaco Dynasty

We've been in touch with some of the members on the ARVE (American Recreational Vehicles Enthusiasts) forum as we needed to get some information on our intended drive to Southern Spain for the winter months and we've had some very helpful advice on where the best sites are for your Euro.
But getting sites in this country that are (A) easy to get to and (B) not ridiculously expensive for what they offer is much harder to find than we realised.

I don’t know what it is with the UK? (RIP OFF BRITAIN!) but the owners of some sites expect you to hand over a lot of cash and in turn offer you very little, and that includes the major camping clubs like Caravan Club and the Camping & Caravan Club.
The one we're on at the moment is a gem of a site, we've found the owners to be very accommodating and friendly, and this site is I’m glad to say an exception to the ones above.

Today Garry from Chase RV has called back to fit the eight external locker plunger switches (that he ran out of time to complete on Saturday due to the problems he encountered on the other jobs) so our security is back up to full scratch, as the old plastic switches were disintegrating and they kept giving us false alarms.
Another good job done by Garry we can't recommend him highly enough as he has done years of work on these machines so he really knows his stuff. Gradually all the things we planned to do are all coming together and once the MOT is done next month we will be safe and ready to motor on down the road.

We've waved Bye, Bye, to Cedric and Dott as they hit the road this morning as they are heading up to North Wales (make sure your passport’s up to date Cedric or the locals will lock you up with a flock of sheep and force feed you green Lava bread).

Two large Motorhome/ Vans have arrived on the site last night, (something to do with the Super Bikes as they are on their way to a meet locally) so the site is still quite busy even though the Easter break has finished.

Kay and I sat down and planned our coming stops and booked our next few sites, so far we're now booked up right through to the Western Motor home show in the Malvern's three counties show ground at the end of August.
