Stan the van was up for it so we set off to Minchinhampton with some friends, we stayed at Tobacconists Farm for 2 nights. It's a great site with some lovely neighbours ! The village is only a 5 minute walk and then a few more minutes and you are on Minchinhampton Common.
Despite on and off showers and the wind we had a great time. We managed to sit out on Friday night and even managed some star spotting, no meteors or shooting stars to be seen though. Saturday we headed out for a walk then took cover in the local pub and sat out the Showers. We had a lazy afternoon and evening before heading home on Sunday Morning.
I love these minibreaks, I am so grateful to have a little motorhome to be able to shoot off after work on a Friday for a change of scenery.
It's lovely to be able to get away at the drop of a hat. It sounds like you had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteit was fab and it really makes a difference being able to just scoot off at the drop of a hat.
DeleteLooks wonderful. I don't blame you grabbing every opportunity to go away in Stan the Van, just a tad envious here :)
ReplyDeleteit is great and I am very thankful that we were able to get one, a bonus to hubby being made redundant..
DeleteMinibreaks are the best and impulsive unplanned ones the best of all. Those are a bit like an adventure. That's Gloucester way, isn't it? I remember a holiday there many moons ago :-) Love that first photo it looks as if he/she is smiling! keep well Amanda :-)
ReplyDeleteI love little mini adventures. Yes its up Gloucester way, not somewhere we would normally go.
DeleteLove Minch - I was up there on Weds, as I have 2 rellies living just off the common :) Did you have a Winstones ice cream? x
ReplyDeletewe missed out on the ice-cream due to rain, but escaped to the pub instead ! great place though, will definitley go back
