Green Hill Farm, Landford

     Mike and I got off work a little earlier than expected so we got ready, hitched up and set off. We knew we had to contend with the traffic but we didn't get any until the ring road just near the college in Salisbury - it's always notorious for hold ups at certain times of the day and week.
     The journey took us around 40 mins. Belinda had got out a pass card for the barrier for us just in case we were going to be late, so she met us at the gate and told us where they were. It was in the adults only section with some very run down caravans. It looks like people either live there or keep their van there for weekends. It was tight getting into the spot, not for the faint hearted ! In actual fact, all the men came to help push and pull into place. Our next caravan will have a mover! Did I mention we are getting a new one?  In actual fact this trip is our last in our current caravan😟.  We have loved this one so much our new one is exactly the same layout!
     Setting up was helped by the odd sip of Tony's coffee liqueur! Mmm very nice!  After a catch up with Belinda, Tony and their grandson Logan, Carol and John, we walked to The Lamb Inn, about a mile and a bit away. Well, the food was amazing!!! Well worth a visit! The walk back seemed to be longer than going but that was after a drink (or three).  Toasted marshmallows when we got back thanks to Logan then bed.
     The following day some went for a walk with Gracie the dog, while others went into Romsey for a look around and a coffee and cake!  A few items were purchased.  Back to the van and cuppa tea and 'nice’ biscuit's.  One time when I asked mike to get some nice biscuit's he bought Nice biscuit's, the coconut flavoured biscuit's that are rather plain.  Don't get me wrong, I do like them but when in the van, I do like to partake in something a little different. 😃
     Carol was having difficulty with some crochet so I popped along to try to help her. I took mine along too and was able to finish mine and help Carol with hers! Well done to us both.
     That evening, Mike cooked so we were having everyone in our van.  As it was close to Halloween, we put up a few decorations and Mike had some scary music.  It was really effective although I had to tell people to look in the shower.  I had put a rather large bat in there but no one went in there.  We played a game that John had bought that day, which was good then we were all falling asleep so it was bed time.
     Home the following day.  I have taken to doing the basic cleaning whilst on site so while Mike is putting all the outside stuff away, I clean the sinks and toilet ready for next time.  But this time, it is to hand the van over as our part exchange 😑.
     The journey home was uneventful apart from a lorry carrying potatoes had caught fire on the Southampton Road.  Baked spuds for dinner anyone? 
    So that's it until next year. We pick up the new one in February so until then adieus 😃
