Erwlon, Llandovery. 27th May - 4th June ( 8 nights)

A bit late posting about this trip but life still very hectic with hospital appointments and family commitments.

This was a family holiday with the kids staying varies lengths of time, in fact one daughter actually stayed the first weekend (bank holiday) then came back for the last weekend. Here's some photos to be going on with.



We didn't venture far from the site for the whole week ..just local walks and pubs ..but it was a really lovely family get together. The weather was fab after violent thunderstorms on the first night it cleared up to be a scorcher of a week. Our first time at Erwlon though all the kids have been there before ..we will definately be happy to return.

Trip 2 . Woodstock Cl Cold Inn Tenby Apr 24th - 30th.(6 nights)

We were so thrilled to have been able to book this CL again, it was fully booked last year. The weather forecast wasn't great but we were really excited about this break as it was Steve's first full week off since last October. Plus we had bought a new awning ..ye I know yet another one!! ..we decided to buy a full awning to give us bit more space when we go away with the family. We stayed with Dorema and bought the Daytona an charcoal and grey. It has given us a lot more room, wish we'd bought a full awning sooner now and it didn't take any longer to put up than the Mistral porch.

Even thought the weather was very chilly..more like winter ..we had a lovely week. We managed to get down to Saundersfoot beach most days.

We also managed walk to the local nature reserve most evenings. The parkland has been created by local people, and I have to say it is a credit to them.

A couple of houses down from Woodstock CL is a wood carver who makes the most wonderful love spoons, well seeing it was our wedding anniversary whilst we were away I had a beautiful present.

A very relaxing and enjoyable week at my favourite CL.

2016 Season. Trip 1 Dan yr Ogof. ( 3 nights ). 17th - 20th March.

Finally managed to get away for a few nights to kick of the new season. Wasn't the best start as I was just getting over the flu and was so weak that I was no help to Steve setting up ...I know ..I'm not much use normally lol. I don't think we'd have attempted to get away if Baby was still in storage but having her in the garden made it easier and the added bonus of being able to have the heating on to warm her up before the trip made it a lot more comfortable when we arrived. The weather was dry but after what had been a very mild week it turned bitterly cold, though it was lovely and warm inside, the effects of the flu made me very reluctant to venture out for walks. It was still lovely to be sat with such beautiful views.

Next trip is booked for 24th April ..off to Woodstock CL nr Tenby for 6 nights ...can't wait!!!

Putts Corner, Devon. 2nd - 11th October (9 nights)

After the trauma of the last few months we were determined to make our last trip of the year a good one. Trying to put my illness to the back of our minds we were up early to get Baby out of her cwtch and make the most of the weather and our trip down south. Unfortunately, just as we engaged the motor mover, the village idiot turned up and parked his car on the road in front of our gate. Following a bit of a wait and some verbal exchanges he drove off and we got Baby out and made our way. It did disturb us to know that the house was empty and this nutcase knew it was, but we decided that the reason we installed CCTV and pay insurance is so that we can go away with some peace of mind.

The weather was beautiful with the car registering 20 degrees for best part of the journey so we felt a certain warm glow about the holiday ahead. We arrived at Putts Corner and were set up within the hour and spent the rest of the afternoon sitting out in the sunshine relaxing. It's a long time since we had more than a 6 night break because of the restrictions of Steve's job so the fact it was Friday and we had we still had 9 days to go made a big difference to the chillax factor.

We had some lovely days out to Torquay, West Bay,Dawlish, Seaton and Beer taking full advantage of the beautiful weather.

Well that's it for this year ..Baby has had her annual service and has been winterised..the big difference this year is that she is in the back garden where we can still enjoy her company and make sure she is not having any problems with bad weather ...and if we decide to take a winter trip out we can put the heating on to warm her up before we go.

Liverpool 5th -12th Sept. ( 7 nights)

I'm not going to dwell on the hospital visit, suffice to say I have a difficult journey ahead. But as this blog is all about enjoying our time in Baby we did make the most of our time in Liverpool and did some touristy things so I have photos to share.
We stayed at Putts corner CC site and were lucky enough to get the pitch that is on the site details ..lovely views across the Dee Estuary and we were also blessed with glorious weather.
As we were quite emotional we decided that we were close enough to Gretna Green to make a day trip retracing our wedding day which included a whistle stop tour of our honeymoon in the Lake District.

We also went on the Mersey Ferry and open top bus trip .....and a visit to Liverpool wouldn't be complete without a drink in 'The Cavern'

So for all the wrong reasons our visit to Liverpool and the Wirral was one we'll always remember and for all the right reasons it's one we'll never forget.
