Our first outing since France and we’re in the middle of the school holidays, so somewhere near and adult only was preferable. The Granary ticks all the boxes so it was the site of choice for this weekend, the first time we’ve been here ‘in season’ so to speak, as we usually go early or later on in the year.
This trip saw us use a new sat-nav for the first time, as our old unit had decided to start playing up and randomly rebooting, 6 years constant service wasn’t a bad innings though. Pleased to report that then new unit works very well and has a couple of extra useful features. We promptly arrived on site and again met Maureen and Dixon, who chatted away and recalled us from previous visits as we remembered ‘Limpy’. There were a few units already there, but we found a spot on the grass and pitched up. The weather was quite pleasant, so we managed a little outdoor time before heading in for the night. The plan was to clean the caravan roof on this trip, so I washed the side body today and fingers crossed, we would get good weather for the roof tomorrow.
Sunday, we headed off to church and then duly returned early afternoon. Weather wasn’t looking to clever, but it wasn’t raining, so I decided to do the roof as planned. All went well and soon the ‘van was beaming again. The oven has developed a fault though, there being no spark in the oven for ignition, not a major fault, something to look at on our next expedition. Sunday came and went, just like a couple of motorhomes that did as well.
Monday, we got packed up and were once again visited by Maureen who saw us off. A very pleasant weekend as usual and as always, it was very nice to see Maureen and Dixon again (and the sheep).
