21st – 25th October 2009

We decided to have a few days away so booked a CL in Somerset for the 5 days we left home on the Wednesday around 11am the sky was blue and the sun was shining   great we thought weather man wrong again. but 45mins later as we crossed the Severn Bridge the heavens opened and it rained  but as we got closer to the site it stopped. We managed to set up and get settled and lo and behold more rain it rained all night.

Thursday 22nd

Still raining we decided to go into Weston S Mare for some shopping but the rain kept coming back at site we had a relaxing time.

Friday 23rd 

Woke up to a lovely bright sunny day my cousin was coming to join us for the weekend they arrived around 12.30 got their caravan set up we had a brew and a chat then went to Highbridge Caravans as they are looking to change their van. There were loads of vans there and they fancied two so it was thinking time.

Back on site we had a nice BBQ and a few bevies and a chat to catch up on news of our families

Saturday 24th

Another glorious day so we went to Breen Sands Holiday village to see friends who were caravanning there for the week. We enjoyed a cup of coffee with them then made our way back to Highbridge to have another look at the two caravans they fancied. Then back to the site where we had our evening meal and an evening watching X Factor

(how sad are we).

Sunday 25th

Our daughter Tracy is 44 today so home to see her later .

Not many photos this post due to weather and caravan looking but the CL Site which was very nice and we will return here next year

What’s This

Found this eating the pepper plant in the greenhouse today.

Apple time again

Friday9th October 2009 and we were off to one of our favourite CL sites. We go to this site every October  as the farmer lets us help ourselves to the bramley apples in the orchard. They wasn’t as good this year but we have enough to freeze and see us through the winter.

When we left home the weather was quite pleasant We arrived on site around 1pm and as we started to fill up with water  the rain started    typical. 

My cousin was already there so we had a brew and a good chat to catch up with the news as we hadn't seen them for almost a month. The rain finally stopped but it was quite cold.

This site has no facilities only a water tap and an elsan point but it has the most wonderful views,  wild bird life,  and horses in the fields what more can one ask for for £5.00 a night.

Sunday 11 October 2009

Sunday it was a cloudy dull day and time to pack up and head for home

We did check the ewes  but there was no red dye on them.

He must have enjoyed the apples or just plain lazy

Looking forward to the next  trip but haven’t decided on when or where at the moment but soon
