Ode to an Avondale - RIP.

One of my favourite hobbies is caravanning, I'm fairly new to it having previously been a Camper for 20 years (no comments please).

I hate towing the thing (with good reason, see below), but once you're there and setup it's great.

I'm one of those rare Caravan towers that pull over when the queue of traffic builds up behind me, and appreciate the waves of thanks I get from other motorists.

I have stayed in my Caravan on a site only 5 miles from my house, a little weird granted but it's in the Clent Hills and it's just a beautiful place to be, just look.

Currently I am looking to buy a newer Caravan, the old one is very tired, and also prompted me by the wheel dropping off on the M5 whilst on our way
to Exmouth for a holiday (see picture taken at 7:00am M5 J10 - thanks to the Very nice man from the RAC we got back on the road within two hours!).

Fiddle Sticks!




I wouldn't normally mind (well I would really TBH) but this is the second time the wheel has dropped off, so it's time to say goodbye!!

It's been a good van, 5 years ownership, countless nights keeping mine and the families heads dry.

Anyway, we also have a new baby on it's way, due in October so we've run out of room to boot.

Happier times

Fingers crossed that we get a Summer this year!!
