I have joined caravan and camping club Judy but not CC. Did think of joining them too as some people have said they are members of several clubs.  What do u think?  Is that a good idea or not? Any sugestions of good sites in Wales would be helpful Judy - so any tips just keep em rolling!

Sue

I'm a member of the CC and the C&CC.  I tend to use the CC more. Nothing against C&CC sites, just that the CC have more so I bump into them more often. The cost of membership is well worth it.  If you survived York you'll find CL/CS sites a doddle.

I'll tell you where the site is near St Davids if you email me  It's right on the cliff top opposite Ramsey Island. Great views!!!!  Hardly anyone else goes there, so SHHHHHH!

Hey thanks Tom and Judy.  Do any of you ever use msn messenger?  My username on there is strangely enough Sonesta.  If you go on there we can have a proper chat about where to stay etc.

Thanks again.

Sue

I use AOL for business occasionally, when it doesn't interfere with touring around in the motorhome that is.

Send me an email  and I'll return a list of my favourite sites with details etc. I'm into pretty much the same as you, scenery, the odd castle or historic site thrown in.  Oh and I promise, you won't see a single Skeggy 'shorts and t-shirt brigade' at any of them.

We have loads of people come into our shop from Butlins Tom!  We stock quite a range of fancy dress accessories and wigs and we find that on these themed breaks such as the Blues weekend and 60's weekends etc many Butlins customers call in and buy such things as Blues Brothers hats and sunglasses or hippy wigs etc to dress up in for fun. It would seem that everyone on these themed breaks dresses up and we are usually quite busy on these weekends. I bet you have been in our shop during your walkabouts - we are near to the clock tower.  I do not like to say our shop name in case I am breaking any rules by advertising it - but you cannot miss us if you are up that end of town. Look for the Marine Boathouse pub and we are right next door!

MSN messenger is a kind of chatroom but not one of those awful chatrooms where you get inundated with strangers pestering you - but a chatroom where you invite personal friends or people you are happy to communicate with to talk to. You can have an instant conversation with them. You type your message and the person you are talking to sees what you type immediately and then they can immediately type a message back. If you are online on your computer and are registered on MSN you will immediately get a little icon flash up accompanied by a funny little sound that alerts you when anyone you have added to your friends list is online and if you wish to talk to them you can do.  My best friend and I use it all the time cos it is free and saves on our phone bills! I too am no expert on computers and only know enough to get it to do what I need it to do Tom - so maybe someone else can explain messenger and how you download it etc better than I have.  My 18 year old has downloaded messenger for me and I rely on her for anything I do not understand but if you did want to download messenger I am sure if you ask for assistance someone on here will point you in the right direction!

My brother is a keen photographer too Tommy and like you - he has found the computer a wonderful tool with his hobby and does all sorts of clever things with it!

Anyway - if ever you are in Skeggy call in and I will make you and your wife a cup of tea to warm you against our bracing north sea wind.

Where you going on holiday in January by the way?  Someplace warm and sunny I guess?

Hi Sue, sorry I'm not Judy, but just have to say that Clumber Park is beautiful all year round, but in autumn it is amazing, so many trees, so many colours, really beautiful.  Both the caravan club and the camping & caravanning club have sites within the boundaries, the latter being in a walled garden near to the centre of the park.  BTW, I was in Skeggy for a day last month whilst camping at Mablethorpe.  It really is bracing there isn't it, I noticed the difference from just up the coast a few miles.  You're so lucky, I'd love to live near the sea. 

Hi Elaine,

Apologies for getting your name wrong - I think I must be on another planet soemtimes! Thanks for the info - it sounds lovely - will have to give it a try sometime.  We are more than likely going to go of for a few days next week somewhere. We might try the Peak District or Cornwall ...... but so spoiled for choice - we can't decide!

Funny when you live near the sea - you tend to take it all for granted and it is not until you venture inland and taste a bit of city and town life that you really value how lucky you are.  However, Skeggy coastline for me does not hold the magnetism, mystery or sheer wildness and beauty of the Cornish coastline and if I lived in Cornwall I really would visit the sea and beach far more often than I do.

Thanks again Elaine.

Sue

SONESTA'S MOTTO IN LIFE ..... LAUGH AND THE WORLD LAUGHS WITH YOU. CRY AND YOU CRY ALONE!

Hey Tommy,

How spooky .......... you are into photography and are a taxi driver and so is my brother!  He owns his own taxi business and photography is his passion - spooky or what?

I like meeting people and I love talking to the older folk and listening to some of their tales and even during our limited experience of motorhoming we have met some quite colourful characters from the retired sector and their energy and zest for life never ceases to amaze or impress me.

OOOh - sounds quite interesting about taking this company to court - will be interested to hear what happened and what exactly you problem was with them.

I didn't like to name my shop on here just in case there are some rules on this forum about advertising etc and I didn't want to get into any trouble for plugging my business . But we do sell "allsorts" if that tells you anything?

I am just rushing off to work so will talk again later.

Take care.

Sue
