2020 Caravaning and being home

Just a little recap on all the trips we managed to make in the second hand caravan since buying it in July. The purpose of buying it was purely to have our own bubble and to be able to get away during this terrible pandemic. We joined the Caravan and Motorhome club to have access to CL’s, camp sites with a maximum of five ‘vans. Many of the people we met were doing the same thing, staying safe but getting away from home.

Jul 20 to 24 our first adventure was to a local site at Staverton to test the electric hook up and put up the awning

Aug 10 to 14 again fairly local but with no electric hook up we visited Fotheringhay

Aug 20 to 27 having more confidence in the caravan we visited Louth in Lincolnshire

Sept 9 to 16 a week at Cransley, only 12 miles from home as we both had flu jab appointments in the middle of our stay

Oct 6 to 10 Cold Aston in the Cotswolds to be able to visit my sister who had just moved there

Oct 31 to Nov 4 [should have been the 6th but had to leave because we entered Lockdown 2] Trusthorpe on the Lincolnshire coast

We have truly enjoyed our caravaning trips and being able to get away in the safety of our own ‘bubble’.

Since arriving home it has been busy with winterising the caravan, washing and ironing and generally catching up with life.

View from the house this morning, I love sun rises and sunsets, but always hard to capture on a phone camera.

Yesterday we emptied a couple of my potato sacks and look forward to these new potatoes.

The Potato growing sacks experiment has worked quite well, and it has been fun growing vegetables again.

Due to the Lockdown which is forecast to last until Dec 2nd, but everyone seems to think will last longer than that, we have very sadly cancelled our trip to Scotland for Christmas with the family. We had two Lodges booked.  I pray 2021 will find a cure / vaccine for Covid 19 and we can all get back to a normal life. Stay safe everyone.
