What are you all up to today? - part 3

Went out for a little walk today on one stick.OH took my daughter's other two dogs a bit further while I sat on a bench with the little rescue Shitzu cuddled up against the wind.

Beep

+ 1 ! 

Had to go into the office this morning, computer guy coming to give the work computer a full health check . He checked a few things and said should be ok, couldn't find anything serious.Found out he has just bought a caravan, so had plenty to chat about while he worked . 

Then on the road by 12, pretty good journey in wintry sunshine.

Pitched van, awning and Christmas lights up. Very festive . 

Site looking very festive, wardens have put up lights and a tree.

Walked into Castleton, lots of lovely decorated trees. Really looking forward to plenty of walks, exploring the area and meeting up with youngest son and his girlfriend on Friday.

Hope everyone got their sites booked for next year ,  seemed to have missed it! 

Wow - 16° and back to shorts and shirtsleeves for today's walk! 

And a very exciting day for us as we've just agreed a deal to upgrade our static to a newer model for next year ( not brand new unfortunately, some of the prices at the "boutique" site just up the road are simply eye-watering!). Staying in the same small family run site, so keeping all the same neighbours and friends we've made over the past 5 years. So that's our "block booking" done for 2017.

Can't wait for January to come round now! 

How exciting, is it January when it arrives? Will you have much 'packing' for the change?

Shorts today wet weather gear tomorrow by the look of the forecast .

I feel cooler today than when we had the cold bright weather despite thermometer suggesting 9c. Probably the dampness, not had rain, just grey and damp

It's already on site, commissioned and ready to go. We could move in tomorrow if we wanted to but will leave it until after Christmas now. Site owners have been very good, handed over keys ( even though we haven't actually paid anything yet!) and told us just to move in as and when we're ready. One of the benefits of being on a small site, family run where everyone gets on and are trusted.

Glad you've arrived safe and sound H&T ( &D!). Have a great time - lovely area at this time of year! 

Great news Moulesy, will you be on a different part of the site now?

Pleased for you Mousley, hope you enjoy it. We finally bought our static in September, thanks for your advice then. We really love it, and, as with you, we have already made friends and have lovely neighbours. Worth doing all our research, as we are on a lovely site. Can't wait for next season. And, being really smug, it was good not to have to take part in the booking frenzy today. Enjoy your new van.

Thanks Debsc. Glad to know that all went well for you. I can't just remember what part of the country you're in. It is good to have made friends and neighbours on site. If nothing else we know they're always keeping there eyes open for any problems, not that we've ever had any. It's great to arrive on site with everything set up ready to go isn't it? 

Great news Moulesy, will you be on a different part of the site now?

Yes, it's right next-door to where we met you! 

Oooh, me me me!
