First trip out in our caravan.

We have just enjoyed our first weekend away in our "new" caravan. we only went to burton constable holiday park which is only at sproatley but it was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. I took the van there on thursday as i was working on friday until 6 o clock.When I finished work I came home and picked Tracy and Brian up took them to the van and they just had to walk in as everything was in place and we were only charged £3 for leaving it set up for the night so it made sense to do it that way. whilst they were settling in to our home for the weekend I went back to bilton and picked James up from his rugby training. We took the dog, but to be honest he doesnt really like being chained up so we might not take him again but we had no one to look after him. We were going to come home on sunday because Tracy was at work on monday morning but I said why dont we stay until monday and i will take you to work from here. We came home sunday to pick her work stuff up and also dropped Brian off at home with the dog as he was going to the cinema last night with his friend so he looked after the dog at home and we went back. There isnt a lot at the campsite but it is a brilliant place to relax and the fishing lake is brilliant, me and james sat fishing til about 9 30 sunday night and he has had a rod in the water nearly all the weekend, he has caught 70 something fish over the course of the weekend. The caravan itself is brilliant and it has all the mod cons you need like full cooking facilities, a shower, toilet, hot and cold running water,and a fridge. We had some friends come stay over on Saturday night when we had a few drinks and something to eat (they brought a chilli). There were 7 of us in the van altogether (2 couples in the 2 double beds and 3 kids in the awning, there was ample room. Our next outing is when we take it to Yarmouth for a week, we booked it the other week and it is costing us £126 for a week, at those prices the van will pay for itself in no time.

No need for it Justin

Yesterday for the first time this season Rovers actually managed to kill a team off and for the first time in a long time we put in a decent performance after the performances of late, which have been to be honest......shit.
But what has upset me about yesterday and spoilt it a little bit was the comment by Justin Morgan afterwards that Michael Dobson was the best number 7 in the city, Now to me this seemed like a direct swipe at James Webster who has just signed for Dull fc. I like most Rovers fans will hope that webbo does well in his future career and I will even applaud him when he takes to the field on Sunday, I think we owe him that much after what he did for us.I dont know why Morgan had to pass a comment like that after all it was Rovers who got rid of Webbo and not the other way around. I hope Webbo can let this remark go over his head it did seem a little nasty to me and I cant see why Morgan wants to slag Webbo off like that.

The wheels on my house go round and round

Last weekend we went camping to Burton Constable campsite, I was really suprised at the size of the place as a small field was all i was expecting. The site is like a lot we have stayed on in Cornwall and has the biggest fishing lake I have ever seen. It was the first time we have used our new tent which we purchased off Ebay and it was bloody massive. Anyway, we went with my nephew Kevin and all his clan, they were staying in thier caravan and I said to Tracy, I think its time we thought about moving from a tent to a caravan, On Tuesday evening we went to view one and bought it there and then, so we are now fully fledged members of the pikey community!! Our new "van" cost us £1700 and is immaculately clean, it also comes with a giant awning which is bigger than the caravan and has two sleeping pods attached to the outside, so with the 4 berth caravan plus 2 pods we should be able to sleep 8 at least and of course there is also room in the awning as well! we are hoping to try it out in the next couple of weeks, I am going for a tow bar for the car on monday and we will get a few things together that we need then its no stopping us.
