Posterne Hill Marlborough Wiltshire

   Weekend away with Carol & John.  Carol booked this site with vouchers from The Sun for £2!  On the edge of Savernake Forest near Marlborough.  Most of the amenities had closed for the winter including the toilet block - not that it would have affected us.
   Wet slippery grassy pitches made siting the caravans difficult and were setting up the caravan and awning in the rain.  We had a good nights sleep that night due to plenty of tapas, red wine and laughter.

   Saturday was better weather but still cold.  We visited Bradford on Avon because Mike had read somewhere that a Christmas Fair was on.  We didn't find it because it was the wrong month so we had a look around and visited the charity shops but there were only 2.  So time for a cuppa, we visited The Bridge tea room.  It was very popular and even Carol had to stoop to enter through the front door!  Onward to Devizes and we found 7 charity shops while Mike & John were in the pub!
   The caravan was really cold when we got back as we had left the windows on the latch as it had been very misty (condensation) in the morning.  We put the heater on and soon warmed up.
   We'd decided to go into Marlborough for a meal that evening and Carol organised taxis to take us there and back.  Carol & John's caravan battery gave up the ghost as they were getting ready to go out and had to make do by candle light or torch.  The taxi then came and they found that the caravan door wouldn't lock so we ended up parking their car really close to the caravan door.  In the morning, we found out that Carol & John had had a very cold night as the gas bottle had run out.  They say that bad luck runs in 3's!  Quite a memorable weekend for some!  In the daylight, they found that the problem with the door was down to someone trying to break into the caravan!
