All the gear no idea

 #Madorbrave We had the idea of giving it up and going off to work on a campsite for years. In July, whilst on summer hols, we decided we were going to take the plunge .  Dick - I'd been looking online for secondhand caravans suitable for living in.  There didn't seem to be many but I found one at the dealer just down the road from us.  We we got home we went to see the guys at Farnham Leisure.  Your joking we were told, that was sold the minute we got it.  Oh dear it seemed that every body was buying caravans and you couldn't buy anything for love nor money.  There was a new one available in February. So without looking at one, with no real idea we took the plunge and bought it. What have we done😅 So after a months of viewing You Tube caravan videos and ordering stuff from Paul at Farnham, pick up day came along, 1 Feb.  We collected Bill, it's a Bailey caravan so named after Mr Bill Bailey (hope he doesn't mind).  Both scared to death of w...

#madorbrave Hi, we're Helen & Dick and we have decided to throw in the towel on the rat race and go off on a bit of an adventure, taking along our doggies, Finbar the Irish Water Spaniel & Buffy our Romanian rescue. We have a camper van - le bogey van, you see why when we post a photo😊 and we have just purchased a caravan - "Bill".  We are going to spend our summers working on campsites in the UK. In the winter we plan to spend time on the med, France, Spain & Portugal.  This is all new, whilst we have had a camper van for years we have never had a caravan and we have not before worked on a campsite. So we thought it would be nice to make a record of our adventure perhaps give you some laughs on the way. So come along with us for the ride.
