And still it rains

There is an old scout song which starts, it rained on Monday and it rained on Tuesday and so on and on and well this has happened to us for pretty much the last couple of weeks which is not great but then life goes on. So having resolved the loss of gas problem we hoper we need to replace a bottle of gas and also we wanted to check out again another caravan site which we thought might be good for us and the family to meet up.


So after some internal caravan sorting we went to meet Joanne and Christopher in Taunton for lunch and then visited the site in Henlade which was quite empty but we guess in summer it would be much busier.but there was a ton of room to spare. Perhaps the rain is putting people of visiting we don't know but after having a tour round it looked fine but we need to check out another one nearer our site in Waterrow.  On the the way back we purchased a can of spray which used on pipes will indicate gas loss and also purchased another 10 kilos of gas. Not sure why this is but 5 kilos costs £ 30.00 and 10 kilos £ 40.00 so I bought another 10K which should last us for many years to come we hope.
On the way back to the site we visited the farm where they have as small site with 10 spaces only and its a field with new Loos and great views but could be a little soggy if there was a lot of rain. Our initial thoughts were a bit negative as there was nothing the for the kids to do however when re considering we realised there is as large park and play area plus a heated open air swimming pool less than one mile away and one mile further is out caravan site. Lets hope we can arrange something in August to have a family group which would be rather nice.
Having had a proper lunch we had purchased earlier a pack of smoked salmon and some freshly baked rolls which we enjoyed whilst watching an evening of TV a new American Medical series called New Amsterdam. We don't usual watch this type of soap opera but we made the exception here.
