Eric discovers the ‘real’ Easter Island (in my lounge)
Continue ReadingWe’ve been having some chocolatey fun that didn’t involve eating it (well not straight away, that part came later) with the help of these fun Melt & Make Chocolate Egg Heads kits from Stay In Cornwall. The Beans thought it was great fun to make their own Easter Eggs although I must admit I was […]

Our first visit to the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show at the NEC

Every year we work up to the last minute of Christmas Eve and whilst […]

Sacrewell Farm Camping – Day 3 visit to Rutland Water
Continue ReadingThe best weather for camping is most definitely lots of sunshine and we were lucky enough to get plenty of sunshine last week. I was keen to get the Beans out and about in the fresh air. I had taken lots of outdoor toys to keep them amused whilst on the site and since Jelly […]

Sacrewell Farm Camping – Day 2
Continue ReadingI was very pleasantly surprised when the Beans didn’t wake until 7.30am, at home their usual wake up time is pre-6.00am. Obviously all that fresh air had had the desired effect. The facilities on the campsite were good but were a little trek from our choice of pitch on the top field. In hindsight we […]
