Bought a van at the NEC earlier this month; now waiting for our new car to arrive so we can tow it. Hoping to pick the van up at Easter and have a few days away. It's so reassuring to be able to plan in advance; we had to cancel so many weekends away last year in the tent because the ground was too wet to hold the tent pegs.

I'm visualising what of my camping equipment will transfer and what I need to buy new. I'm also trying to work out if my regular bedding will hold on the shaped bed. I may take a needle and thread away with me!!!!

Off tomorrow to pay the season's rent and spend the weekend there.  The site we are on is open all year so we have been down a couple of times over the winter.

I retired at Christmas and DH retires on Tuesday so looking forward to spending lots of time in the van this year!
