New Explorations

A new phase in our travels has started with our purchase of a touring caravan. We've called her Rosie & she is a 2 berth van with a lovely big end bathroom. There will be no more compromises when camping, we now have all mod cons. We toasted her with champagne on our first night in her.



We're currently enjoying our first trip, staying at a campsite in the beautiful Exe Valley on Exmoor. It's so nice to be in the countryside, surrounded by woodland & wildlife although the wildlife is rather noisier than expected. This area seems to be overrun with pheasants, there are hundreds of them on the roads and in the fields. I hadn't realised how vocal they are, calling loudly, particularly in the evening & early morning. We awoke yesterday to the sight of several of them wandering between the vans.


No sign of them today, just a heavy frost. Perhaps they were huddled up somewhere warm. I felt rather sorry for the campers in tents today, who all looked frozen. One couple spent half an hour in their car, warming up with the engine running, before venturing out to cook breakfast muffled up in thick anoraks, gloves & woolly hats! Meanwhile LB & I were warm as toast in our pyjamas enjoying watching the goings on of the campsite. So far haven't done much other than relax, shop & do some repairs to the leaking shower. Proper exploration will start tomorrow. Elvie
