Heading towards journeys end


Kay and I are staring out at the pouring rain as the winds batter the RV, we’ve sat here twiddling our thumbs for what feels like an age. I suppose it’s only normal while we wait for time to pass before we return to Spain.
What a miserable Easter it’s been! We’ve had only two good days, the day we arrived in Plymouth at the end of March and a reasonable day traveling up to our site here in Burnham, from then on it went downhill fast. April showers, downpours, strong winds and falling temperatures have made our stay here in Home Farm pretty miserable.

For Sale

Rhys came to visit us during his Easter break which we enjoyed!!! Well he did, I think his mother was glad to leave him with us for a while, while she had a well-deserved rest. Although we love him to bits, an eight year old being shut in the confined space of an RV can soon stretch anyone’s tolerance to breaking point. We were constantly looking for ways to amuse him or to keep him occupied.
He did learn to brave the indoor swimming pool. We purchased a pair of swimming goggles for him, which helped him to get him used to putting his head underwater and soon he was splashing, jumping in and eventually attempting several swimming strokes. In the end I think he was sad to say goodbye, but it won’t be long before he will be seeing us again.
We did venture out to Glastonbury, Clarkes Shopping village, Western Super Mare, Wells, and Wilton to purchase a few things we will need for Spain. Anywhere to shop under cover to stop us going stir crazy watching the rain drops.

We’re glad we’ve parked on a Tarmacked area, as a lot of the caravans & motorhomes on the grassed areas have sunk into the sodden ground, it looks more a home for ducks than campers.

A place for ducks
Not for campers










We had a visit from a gentleman who came to view the RV with the intent to purchase the machine from us which has now been confirmed, so soon we will be traveling to our last stop at Briarfields Nr Cheltenham where we and our RV will part company.
Looking back over the past fourteen months we’ve had a great adventure and it has opened up new horizons for us, so now we are now looking forward to our next adventure which I hope you will share with us.
