Went off for a planned weekend away with friends. Friends have a VW camper so it was very much outdoor living as her hubs is still semi shielding. He's ok in open spaces but not indoors yet.
As its still school summer holidays we decided to stay inland and not go too far away. We headed north for about 40mins and arrived at our destination, Tudor Caravan Park in Slimbridge.
Hubs and I arrived just after 1pm, our friends arrived about 5pm. We had a lazy evening with a meal booked in the pub next door. The weather was great and it was comfortable enough sitting outside till about 10pm.
Saturday we had booked to go to the Slimbridge wetland centre. As we walked to the centre the sun came out and blessed us all day. It was lovely walking around looking at all the birds. Its a very well laid out site and has enjoyable walks and enough space to feel comfortable. We had a great time and would definitley go back.
Saturday night was BBQ night, again 5teh weather was good, too cloudy to see any stars but nice to be able to sit outside. Then it was Sunday, time to go home we had a lazy morning sat in the sun reading our books until we left at 1pm.
Another great weekend away, it felt like a real break. Now its Monday and I'm back at my desk, post swim ready to start the week ahead.
Beautiful place and a good weekend. You certainly have your work / life balance just right.
ReplyDeleteit was a lovely weekend, and I don't mind working when I have Stan the van to whisk me away !
DeleteWhat a great weekend you had. We have stayed at that caravan park when we had the tourer a few years ago. It was great having the pub within walking distance (wonderful veg lasagne!) and we spent 2 separate days at the wetland centre. We found it fascinating. Lovely photos Anjie 😊
