COLLECTING VAN

Van collected on 3 August and safely driven back to its storage home in Heaton Norris.
Trial run before the big journey up to Blackpool and then Cartmel in the lakes.
Everything works except the TV/Satellite.
Satellite repaired and European journey prepared. Leave on 31 August and stay overnight near Oxford.
Nice site at Greenhill Farm with walks along the canal and decent pub The Rock of Gibraltar a short walk away.
We must remember our age as loads of sites give discounts for over 55's.
Next day leave for Angmering in West Sussex for 4 nights. Welcome visits from cousin Jo and friends Deb and Mike and goddaughter Catherine from the Isle of Wight. A few glasses shared.
Weather so far great and driving even something 7.5 metres long has been pretty straightforward.
Picture above is on site in Angmering before the rain started today for the first time.
This means time indoors to prepare next couple of weeks. Folkestone for a couple of days, then ferry on Wednesday to Calais and drive to Bredene in Belgium for 7 nights.
Would take advantage of poor weather to look at TV but broken again!
Next post, next week.
