CARAVAN UPDATE.

We have just returned from our latest trip to North Devon and our caravan, we had a really wonderful time with most of our old friends returning for Easter. As I have already mentioned in a past blog, our site (Mill Park) has changed hands over the Winter, it has been a difficult time for most of us waiting to see what changes had or would be made. So far things are not too different but the only real thing most of us are a little upset about is the loss of the the real fun and camaraderie of the old bar. The new people own other property that lends itself to the cafe/restaurant/wine bar type of club room not the pub bar and family room/play area that we all loved and hasten to add spent a lot of money in, but hey we knew things would change. While we were there for 11 nights we had 9 good warm days and sat outside for most of these. We had visits from our friends from Stratford on Avon Mick/June they stayed B and B at the the Sawmills pub and were very impressed by it, about 12-13 of us from site met them their for a few drinks and enjoyed the evening (at least we now have somewhere else to drink if ness). The picture shows Mick/June and Pete Chadwick and me enjoying a cuppa outside the van. While the weather was good Sue and I took advantage of it and went coarse fishing on the site pool, we both enjoyed it, me especially with two really big bags of fish on Thurs 26 lbs and Sunday 36.2lbs, Sue had both sessions 2-3 hrs shorter than me but still ended with double figure nets.For the purists reading this all fish were returned unharmed to the water. Among my first days catch was this 6lb+ Carp.
