I doubt I'm the first to come up with this but as a newbie caravanner - especially one with a dog - I thought I'd "share with the group"

On a CC site with elec hookup, we obviously run the caravan on electric heating rather than gas, except on the coldest of days, and even then only briefly (it gets too hot - the Knaus is VERY well insulated)

Obviously we use gas for cooking as the hob is 4 x gas, as is the oven & grille.

But the latest addition - and one which Ben the dog really approves of, is an electric blanket

Having run out of gas once, we now 'run' with 2 bottles (always a spare) but I really do need to look into those Safefil bottles which can be topped up ad hoc

Oh! I remember those sausages! A pilgrimage worth making! I will go again. All the money saved on hook up should go on those sausages! Abergavenny has the best sausages in the country!

Let's face it guys, a good sausage, no matter where it's produced or what flavour is art on a plate!! We had a gold medal winner in our very street sadly now closed and they were superb. Not likely to do much in Lincolnshire Pippa - too near Skeggy! Tin hat on!!

I love a good sausage Merve but "art on a plate" ... really?

Write your comments here...OK A home made steak and kidney pie then! I recently went to see a very long standing friend at Sheringham and had the pleasure of a homemade S&K pie. It was unbelievably delicious. Dont tell the OH but the best I'I've ever had!!! Pastry and meat is a marriage in heaven!! -Life would be diminished without those steeped in the art of making a good sausage though!
