New Adventure begins

We have had our first 3 days at Black Horse Farm Caravan site, as assistant wardens to Eileen & Peter. We have been made more than welcome and are settling in really well. Tomorrow we move onto our compound for the next 5 months, so lots of work to do setting up over the next couple of days. The site is very busy, with many foreign visitors along with their varied continental caravans and motorhomes, which is no good for me & Carl as we both really love German Vans!

Sad News

Yesterday we had to have our eldest border collie, Tom, put to sleep - needless to say we haven't been on best form since then, but Jess (our other collie) is loving all the attention!

We are keeping focused on our new jobs for next week though.

Skipsea

We are now visiting Carl's parents & daughter's before going back to Lancashire to visit my family, as we will be away from hone until mid Nov this year.

So much for a 6 months tour - LOL!

We will be carrying on our blog whilst working for the caravan club - so watch this space!!!

Assistant Wardens for the Caravan Club

One week after Janet left Ultra finishing, we got confirmation from the Caravan Club that we had been accepted to be assistant wardens starting in 2011.

Last week we got a phone call from the HR dept asking us to start earlier at one of their sites in Kent. We decided to cut our tour short, and we now start work as Assistant Wardens in Folkstone, starting on June 18th 2010.

Shootings in West Cumbria last week

Firstly our thoughts go out to the families of those affected by the terrible events last week.

We were caught up in the middle of the shootings at Seascale, as last wed we were due to meet up with Friends at Stanton Bridge at noon, but being rather early we decided to take T&J on the beach at Seascale beforehand.

We arrived approx 11.20 & parked on the front, where I took the dogs on the beach & Carl decided to read his newspaper and go to the local shop. as he was on his way to the shop he witnessed a man being shot in a landrover discovery. The gunman then drove past Carl as Carl was running to help the injured man, unware of the days earlier events. So as you can imagine the day was rather surreal.

We were stuck in Seascale until approx 14.30, until after the air ambulance had taken the injured driver away.

Alas to say we never got to meet Roger and Carol, and the rest of our stay we never ventured far from the caravan site, although this area of Cumbria is absolutely stunning for its scenery.

Sorry no posts for a while

We have been in Ennerdale Bridge for 8 nights where we haven't had any internet or mobile phone, so follow the next posts to catch up what has happened over these last 8 days...
