What are you all up to today? - part 3

Quite a day here!

Mrs Duck, with her 8 babies (now looking quite grown up!) came to see us. I've never seen a family of ducks stick together as closely or for as long as they have. Mrs still wades in when one of her young gets into a scrap with an interloping male...,,,even though they now give as good as they get.

And then our Henry (who was born here 2 years ago) came with her 6 new-born.....one of them is pure black, just like she was as a duckling .

It was a busy time for a while (especially with a few males trying to get a look-in) but all peaceful again now.

We're back at Northbrook Farm Club site. We got back at about 11:45 this morning, went to reception to sign back in and then got back to our van to proceed unpacking all our stuff from  the car. The warden had mown the grass all around whilst we were away. So the pitch was looking very neat and tidy.

It's a lovely evening and when we drove along the coast towards Lancing, the sun was shining and the sky and sea were both bright blue.

I think you should give Mrs M a break and try a cheap B&B next time Malcolm.....

Write your comments here...Is there any B&B for £13 a night? I think that might be hard to find, Ian! Wild camping could save us some money, but it might not be allowed in this area.

Sounds lovely HelenandTrevor, enjoy. Pouring down here again, river in the road again.  Long may it stay dry for you

Thanks Bakers2,  we've just had a thunderstorm, and some rain.  

Another sort of lazy day. Usual dog walk mid morning then we stripped a wall in our hall and repapered it before lunch, as it was getting rather grubby, while listening to the Rugby from Sydney. What a great result!!   Spent most of the afternoon and early evening watching the football.

Finally making our first trip to a CC site. Have done CLs and private sites but now bound for Broadway in the Cotswolds on Saturday for 15 nights. Got a couple of extra days off work to get the 'van spick and span and fill him up with life's essentials...Very excited! Never been anywhere on holiday for this long and looking forward to it immensely. 

three days in Ludlow then another three in Broadway from Monday....then down to Sandy Balls with family and then 'somewhere' in the Forest or down to south coast..

Hi BB, might bump into you next week then. If you spot the silver passat estate and Bailey Pursuit reg no M999AYS do stop and say hi. Funny thing is we are from Ringwood and Sandy Balls is literally up the road from home too :)

Maysie, ill keep an eye out for you....discretely

Feeling really tired now. I can't wait to finish work and get back to the caravan. It's been almost non-stop today with the deliveries but only one more hour to go and it's gone quiet, giving me time to catch up with posting on here.

'Go Ape' at the age of 73 cannot be recommended. The G/kids loved it though!

Where's my hot bath and Radox?

We've just got up to lovely sunny morning here on Northbrook Farm CC site. Nice to be back in the caravan. Our two days away enabled us to defrost the fridge/freezer. We still have the job of putting up the awning.

Half way through the morning now, OH was up for a fishing match at 5.30am. Hope he keeps away from the grass snakes this time. The swelling from the bite he got the other day has only just gone down. I don't expect they liked their habitat being disturbed with his river bank clearing efforts. He reported back a lot of wildlife activity including several Kingfishers.
