Skegness in t'60's
This story happened on: 16/01/2014
We have only had our little 2 berth van for 3 yrs and to say we are hooked on this lifestyle/hobby is an understatement to say the least.
We are in the midst of upgrading the 2 to a 4 berth, but it got me thinking of how it all happened.
The o/h was abroad and when she came home there was a caravan on the drive, our caravan, I didnt ask if she fancied the idea or not, I just bought it and thankfully she loves it like I do.
The last time I was in a caravan for year after year was when I was a nipper in the 60's & 70's, my parents would take us to skegness with their friends and kids and we'd all enjoy the 2/3 weeks we got.
The gas lights and other very limited pleasantries were nothing to todays luxuries but we knew no different.
So I suppose I have my parents for the caravan bug going back almost 50 yrs.
If the o/h hadnt of liked the idea I would have gone on my own but I think I knew she would enjoy it and every possible opportunity we are away.
Maybe we should plan a trip to skeggy where it all began ?
