Globe Inn Snarestone nr Ashby de la Zouch Leicestershire


   Stopped here on the way back from York.  Site ok although we were given plots opposite the elecrical hookups meaning that we had to trail the wires across the car access.  We didn't and relied on the battery, which was still bearing up under the strain.  Getting water is a bit awkward as it is through the pub garden and encounters a few steps.  Pitches are packed in so not much privacy or peace. (children)

John strutting his stuff



   Had a meal in the pub in the evening.  It was ok.  One person had a guitar, started strumming and a young lad joined in singing...... Red Hot Chilli Peppers  and we all joined in.  John had a few pints od Dutch Courage and joined in dancing. 




Carol playing the supporting role



   We had a great laugh.  People kept coming up to us and asking which boat we were on. (I think there is a canal nearby)   When we said that we were caravanning, they called us 'pikies'.  Mike then called them 'river rats'  all taken in good humour.
   It was very windy going home so we went cross country following the Fosse Way rather than go down the motorway.  Quite a nice run.
