We got back from hols yesterday. we went to Slimbridge in Glos. in our campervan. The camp site is called Tudor Caravan Park. Been going there for 15 years and have seen lots of changes to the good. Can highly recommend it if anyone`s thinking of going to that area.
It is right next to the Sharpness/Glos canal and a few mins down the road is the first WWT bird sanctuary, which was established by the nauralist Peter Scott.
Gosh, don`t i sound like a tourist leaflet! Well, that was my job in my former life…I ran the Halifax and Hebden Bridge tourist info centres!!
The weather was mixed but generally quite good. We spent good times with family and friends, had lots of laughs…particularly when we played I went to the shop.it got really daft at times!
The camper held up well, but my back didnt like the bed and it hurt like chuff! Another job for hubby to sort out.............making my bed into an electric one....providing I can locate a motor............oh we are watching one on e bay, which ends in 3 days. Anyone got one they`ve no further use for?
Thanks for all your good wishes and it`s good to be back. Got a lot of posts/replies to catch up on.
Hi Poll, Glad to see you back and that you had a great holiday. Sounds like you had a really lovely time - though shame about the bed! I bet it’s nice to be home to all your own comforts! Teresa xx
Oh yes! Thats what we said when bro in law was attempting to erect his new drive away awning adjacent to his motorhome. he gave up and put it away...............til the next time when it isnt blowing a gale and raining like there`s no tomorrow!
Hi Poll nice to have you back and yes Slimbridge is lovely we went there last year on your recommendation ;-)))))) Im pleased to hear you had a good time but sorry to hear about your back problems and hope you manage to get a bed sorted.
Nice to have you back and glad you enjoyed your holiday albeit the bed. Have missed you. Hope your back feels better soon. Just out of curiosity ‘what did you get when you went shopping?’
Hi Poll, welcome back so glad you had a good time, I went to the shop brought back my childhood memories especially on boxing day when all of my cousins, aunts and uncles and there were a lot of us played lots of games included that one. Chat soon. Karen xx
Hi, sounds like you had a lovely time. I must have missed you saying you were going away, been a bit busy of late, myself. Poll, you sound like a great advert for the tourist info, I can imagine you attracted lots of visitors to the area when you ran the tourist info centres. Cheryl:-)
Awwww welcome back, wondered where you were. Sounds like you had a good time. Lovely. Love the campsites. Worked on a few too. Travelled abroad in an old Hymer. Good times.
