Before I write about our holiday I have to spill the beans about the new addition to our family ... we have a new Mini Schnauzer puppy called Bonnie ..
It was rather daunting going away with a 10 week old pup but she was as good as gold ..We had a puppy carrier for her to sleep in and a puppy playpen to keep her safe.

This site has to be added to my favourites list ..a beautiful site with large pitches right next to the River Thames.
We left home in hot sunshine with the promise of good weather for the week ..Well the weather forecast wasn't wrong ..34 degrees!!! putting up the awning was a bit too hot for us to be honest. We were lucky to have a bit of shade to the back of the caravan for Bella and Bonnie, we put them both in the playpen so we were able to keep them in the shade. Wish we'd left the awning till later though ..my daughter arrived by 6pm and their pitch was under the shade of the trees by then so nice and cool to set up.
The site is made up of small areas ..we were in Maple ..a large grass area with 10 fully serviced hardstandings. The only little annoyance we had was from the nature trail which runs along the back of the whole site. We had an entrance to it between our pitches so kids on bikes tended to race out without warning ..we had a couple of near misses.
It was a lovely relaxing holiday, we caught up with family living in the area on a couple of days and spent a day in Henley on Thames cruising the river on a hired motor boat. The Village of Hurley has a fab pub called 'The Rising Sun' ..highly recommended ..we had Sunday lunch there and a weekday meal, both were outstanding.
