We arrived at our Welsh caravan on 3rd March to open it up for the new season, to be greeted with the news the stream which runs a few dozen yards from our pitch had flooded, invading our next-door neighbour’s garden storage bin, rendering their lawnmower unusable. Thankfully, ours was okay and we got everythingContinue reading “Spring has Sprung”
