Both been *camping for 70 years, now married for 55 years.
Enjoying sunshine at Normans Bay CC&C site.

Just sayin'.

*Camping* ... Where you spend a fortune to live like a homeless person. Try it - it's good for you.

Yes well done and congratulations. We are just youngsters and celebrate our 45th anniversary this month.
Don't we get a medal or something

Not sure about a medal VangoMan02 but 'or something' would be good.
P.s. I applied for some time off for good behaviour but was overruled by the management ...

yep - they mowed the campsite today - I offered some emerald grass to my long suffering wife but she wasn't too impressed. (Think we may have had grass in the 60's but not really sure .... hence the saying 'If you can remember the '60's then you weren't there'...)

Congratulations Iggy & Rozee! We celebrate our 51st in a couple of weeks.

Norman's Bay is a lovely site, we were on there a few years back, soon after we had resumed our caravanning after a long break. First started with a frame tent in 1972 or 1973, can't remember which. Then had two caravans consecutively, followed by a boat on the river. However, there are only so many times you can go up or down a river so we went back to another caravan. Now on our second, second time around. Just got back from a week in Norfolk.

Best Regards,
Colin

Colin21: We each first camped with our parents around 1949! By 1959 I 'progressed' to army 'bivvi' tents with the school CCF force (- character building in very wet N. Wales and Lake District.) Later after our marriage saw us loading frame tents onto a Cortina estate with 2 small children asleep lying on back seat whilst we drove overnight to NW Scotland. The 80's first saw us in 'campervans' - a VW then a 'homemade' conversion on a tiny Renault Extra - that taught me a lot! 4 Ducatos later we now on our 'final' van - should see us out until we either can't drive or don't want to drive! Guess small electric vans will be the norm then? Still enjoying just talking to folks in wet fields!!

1949 was the year I was born Iggy. Went camping with the Scouts though as a boy, both locally and I remember going to Oxford. The name Cumnor Hill rings a bell there. Married in 1968, and for our holiday in 1969 borrowed a friend's Bedford Dormobile camper, a converted bread van, and toured East Anglia and Kent. So I think camping must be in the blood somehow.

Our next outing will probably be to our C&CC D.A.s work weekend in Hertford, which is just up the road from us. That will round off this season nicely.

Best Regards,
Colin
