Well following the announcement that caravan sites can open we urgently chased the opportunity to move to the caravan ad so we did on the 6th of July via a night stop in the the White Hart Hotel in Wiviliscombe.
It takes a littlw while to set up a caravan for a long term stay as there many things you suddenly need which you do not need for short terms holidays but after two weeks being here we are are now well organised, well nearly. We had to purchase a few things to aid creature comfort but now beginning to feel we are in our other home for a while. During the past couple of weeks Noel got his health results back and they were good which is pleasing but then on about 8 days ago broke a back tooth and so we decided to take a look at the new house and see how it was coming along and therefore we had a quick trip back to Surrey and stayed the night in the Cobham Hilton Hotel which was nearly deserted and no restaurants but not a bad price for such a good Hotel.
The visit to the new house was good and we have approx. completion date of 2nd October but this all depends on no more COVID outbreaks and the work catching up on site whilst they appear to be selling or at least reserving a lot more so we will not be the only people in the state it seems. The kitchen units are part way fitted as is the ovens and fridge freezer but still a lot to do throughout the building but the quality is good. The garden being being fenced off and looks bigger that they that had advised but will measure in due course.
The weather in Somerset has been really good and in the last few days we could actually do some sunbathing, well at least sit in the shade as neither of us like lying in the sun and trying to look like an African.
We had a nice visit to see all our grandchildren in Somerset when Michael and Becky came with Ethan to stay with Joanne and Tim and family and so was able to get some nice candid shots of the kids, much better that the formal ones.
We are on a nice site which is quite large right at the end of the caravan park and mostly surrounded by other seasonal pitch people who only appear for weekends mostly and so it fairly quiet. We decided to get yo know our neighbours and invite them round for drinks and nibbles on Saturday night but they all brought their own drinks and so the effort to get some good wine and beer was wasted except no doubt we shall just have to drink it ourselves.
Tomorrow we are taking a day trip up to a caravan retailer to look at awning carpet followed by lunch and then a tour along the coast back to home and if the weather stays as nice as it is now it should be a pleasant day out as we think we deserve it.
So here is a photo of our home for a while..
