The Need central for Caravanners
France 24
It’s almost time to depart old Blighty for la Belle France. 4 days to be exact! Woohoo!! Excited!
Guide Books-Guide to Nowhere?
Is anyone else having this problem?
I’ve noticed an increasing number of guide books appearing on our now dedicated shelf.
(not sure if I should be worried by that pink book?)
Plans Are Afoot
We have been to decide where to go on holiday in 2022.
Do we go back to France? The place we love and long to return to. This would be the 3rd year that we miss La Belle France and 4 years since we have been to the Southern coast. Do we stay at home on this side of the channel? For the last 2 years we have been to Kent, to a lovely CS site on a working farm with great views and a full service pitch (which is the way forward for a relaxing holiday) all for £20 a night.
The UK won. When you watch the news and realise that this horrible pandemic can rear it’s head with no notice making it necessary for various countries to impose restrictions on both their own citizens and visitors meaning that it is perfectly possible that you may have to leave the country at very short notice. It kind of makes sense to stay in the UK.
We did and saw a lot in Kent and we did like it a lot but I felt I wanted a change, but where? That started the eh-hem “Debate”

A little update before we go.
I thought I’d bore you all, I mean tease and tantilase you all with some of our plans.
Advanced Planning!!
You all know how much I like a good plan. Well this time I’ve excelled myself!
With less than 3 weeks to go to this year’s French Adventure, next year’s summer French jaunt is now booked, deposit paid. I even know which pitch we are on!
Part Quatre…4 Andorra
With the weather being a bit rubbish, still warm but cloudy and rainy on and off, we decided let’s go to Andorra and do a bit of shopping.
Andorra is an independent Principality (try saying that after a few gins) a bit like Monacco but as far as I know no Prince and much less sun. Andorra is high in the Pyrenees mountains and is know as a ski resort but also as it’s tax haven status. In fact there is No Tax in Andorra…. Now think for a moment duty free with no duty. Yes that’s it Cheap Booze, Cheap Tobacco, Cheap Perfume etc….. Basically everything can be had cheaper.
3 Sleeps To Go – PANIC Sets in!
With only 3 sleeps now until our “Big Trip” the panic has finally hit the management. Last night she told me “you’re not helping!” True but it is quite entertaining to watch her panicing about nothing really because, well France is not exactly devoid of shops.
Countdown
With just 1 week to go until the “Big Trip” the countdown has well and truly begun. Truth be told I have been counting the days, weeks, months for ages!
So what do the last few days have in store? Well the management has just 1 day left at work before the panic sets in. I have lost count of the times that we have been away together weather that is just a weekend or a fortnight camping or roughing it in some 4* hotel, yet she still flaps when it comes to packing for a trip. Packing takes me all of 30seconds, I just empty the drawer into a bag, job done? Continue reading “Countdown”
Things To Do, before “The Big Trip”
It’s now only 4 weeks until our “Big Trip” so it’s back to Nerd Central, list making.
Wash the car. I have no idea why as I am not one for cleaning and polishing my car as a rule but I do like to start a holiday with a clean car. Which really seems daft as I’m going to drive slightly over 1000 miles and if it does not rain the car will be covered in dead bugs for sure. But I still don’t wash it again when I get there even though the site has an Auto Lavage area, (car wash).
So by the same reasoning I suppose I better wash the caravan? Continue reading “Things To Do, before “The Big Trip””
