Christmas

Well, we didn't intend to be this side of the channel at this time of year when we were planning our trip and it has been impressed upon us why we won't be here next year. These RV's were not designed for this weather and the cold seeps in through the walls, windows and countless holes in the bodywork. The heating has been working overtime but it is still cold when the temperature drops below freezing. Then you have the problem of the water pipes freezing to contend with and this has meant using Tricia's hair dryer in the pump locker to thaw them out. I am planning to fit some low wattage heaters, like those you get for greenhouses, into vulnerable areas to alleviate this problem,

With the change in the weather again, and a thick covering of snow, we are worried that we won't be able to leave Kent until it thaws a bit. We will have to take that decision tomorrow night. If we do get away we will be at Wareham Forrest for the next few weeks.

We would like to wish all our followers and anyone who views the blog a wonderful Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. Keep following because we are definitely crossing the channel in the Spring.
