Smiths Green Farm C.S.

Crewe

We arrived here almost by accident. We were due to attend a C&CC rally at Betley Village Hall but when we arrived we found a quite overcrowded car park and a field that we didn’t like the look of, so we left and hit the apps Mrs. CA on one club’s app and me on the other.

COVID-19 Hits Home

Almost 12 months into the global pandemic and being super careful Covid has hit home.
Halys made it all the way to February half term, started to feel a little rough on Friday which is actually Not unusual amongst school staff. I’ve noticed that as they reach the last day of term they seem to relax and start to feel rough for a few days, but they soon pick up as they get their first couple of lie-in’s. However on Tuesday morning Halys was feeling worse and so did one of the NHS Lateral Flow Tests that she had been supplied with by school. It came back Positive!

Happy New Year!

Well that was a year!
A year and a half!!
An Annas Horribilis!!

Will 2021 be any better? Well not for a while it seems. We are still in COVID-19 restrictions although a vaccination program is starting it’s going to take a while and while we are all desperate to get out and resume “normal” life it would seem more sensible to keep the restrictions going as long as needed to get the majority vaccinated.

Burrs Country Park C&M Club Site Review

Burrs Country Park Caravan & Motorhome Club Site
Bury
Greater Manchester

Burrs is what seems to be a typical C&M Club site. All hard standing pitches, all Electric Hook Up, all pitches a good size. Some pitches are fully serviced these are marked with a Pinkish colour peg and Standard pitches are marked with a white peg.
There is the usual toilet block with all the same facilities, toilets, showers and washbasins. A Laundry, a washing up room etc…. The facilities are perfectly adequate if a little more dated than those at Chester Fairoaks Club Site. Continue reading “Burrs Country Park C&M Club Site Review”

Half Term in Tier 3

Well it’s half term and we should be in Cornwall! instead we are in Rainy Bury.

Tier 3 means that you can not stay overnight in another location, well one outside of your local area. We live in Greater Manchester so we are limited to Greater Manchester. So the Caravan and Motorhome Club site at Burrs Country Park in Bury it is. Other than a 5 van site at Heywood I think it’s the only site inside Gtr. Manchester.

It’s Been A While

It’s been some time since we updated this site.
Sorry about that.

It’s been a bit manic hasn’t it?

We have actually managed to do some camping but not as much as we had hoped to do this year.
We have been on 3 D.A. “Pop Up Sites” and we managed to get a fortnight in Kent on a great little site. Hope Farm, a Camping & Caravan Club C.S. I’ll add a review of that site soon, it’s a great little find! Continue reading “It’s Been A While”

COVID -19 Isolation?

We are currently in the grips of a worldwide Pandemic. This is the most deadly virus to hit the word in my lifetime. It’s the most deadly because we currently do not have any medication or vaccine to fight it. People are being told to stay at home, pubs, clubs, restaurants, converts, public events all closed and cancelled. Schools have been ordered to close. People have been ordered to work from home if at all possible. Mrs CA is working from home and is classed as a vunerable person.
