During the hectic month of September, it’s nice to just get away and relax – this is exactly what a caravan is for and indeed is what we did this weekend! No trips out, just say onsite and chill.
It was another 3 night weekend, with Cath getting the train from work again. So I pitched the ‘van up in the afternoon, this time on pitch #38 as the site was quite full. Weather not the best, so I decided to go for hardstanding rather than grass. Weather improved for Sunday & departure on Monday.
However, that didn’t stop our alfresco eating this time, as we had purchased a couple of new products. Firstly, canopy poles for the awning, so we can cook in the rain! Secondly, to replace the Cadac – with a Teppanyaki Grill. Reasons being, it runs from electricity, so easier to site around the ‘van rather than being stuck just by the gas point. Smaller to lug about and store, easier to clean and no wind to worry about. We used it 3 times this weekend and I have to say, I wish we’d got one sooner. To be able to cook where you want and the ease of cleaning, along with a rapid heat up time, good control of heat and not having to worry about the wind blowing it out. The food just glides on the surface, no more sticking. Thumbs up from us.
