We have arrived!!!!

All that ringing around from home...
All the recommendations from Daryl and Martine ...
This is a spectacular caravan park.

And we are in!
And settled.
Takes 10 minutes to set up.
Mainly unpacking what had to be secured to drive...
Winding the awning out ...
And positioning the table and chairs.
So, so, so easy.

We are both on the one site so, a little crowded.
But wait till they move out next door.
We will have so much room, if it wasn’t for Covid, we’d be holding a rave party.

Emily had work and a meeting this morning so left Sandy Beach about 11.30am.
On site at 11.40am.
My kind of trip.

Then a quick “Hurrah. We did it. We are here.”
And back to Sandy Beach for the Postie bike.

I went in Tin Tin, our runabout now, to the supermarket and back to get supplies for a few days.
My fridge is still operating as a freezer until we eat all the food in there.
Running off the second battery at the moment.
May keep it as a freezer or may be easier to each have our own fridge.
Not sure yet.

Emily finished work about 3pm.
Walked the beach and sandbanks on the lake.
Beautiful day.
Though all the rain has caused lots of mud to be flowing through the lake out to sea.
Will settle soon, I imagine.

We forgot to bring the shanks out of the fridge.
That was dinner tonight.
Daryl is refusing to part with them....
( “Shanks? What shanks?”)
So roast chicken and salad instead.
Watched some TV with Emily in Bumper, Line of Duty.
Then onto my bed to write this.

I am sleeping in Tin Tin after all.
Seems to be OK.
Total blackout curtains ... I don’t think anyone knows I am in here.
We originally were going to both sleep in Bumper as we have only booked one site.
But this works better.

We also ran an extension lead from Bumper to Tin Tin so I can turn on my heater if needed.
So basically powering 2 vans.
Stealing electricity probably.
( Continuing the theme of the trip really.)
