Night Camper by maggiemae

Night Camper

Around midday we decided to make the most of the sunny conditions and packed the caravan up and headed north. This was a little camping ground, beautifully planted out and sheltered by 'hedge' of high trees. Found out where to put the water and pump in, plugged into the power and the wifi and we were hunky dory!
Three good things;
1. A challenge where Sadie (the merc) would not move forward the few inches we wanted to level the caravan. Not solved until the middle of the night when John remembered the parking brake came on if the door was open!
2. Cooked up a meal of sausages, mash and peas with gravy - rather nice.
3. Our first night in the caravan!
congratulations! sounds like you had a good time. and the little home looks cozy.

How romantic -- you seem to be in a lovely secluded spot !! Your meal brings back memories of our caravanning days -- a typical quick meal -- enjoy !

Years and years ago in our camping days we had a similar caravan. no stove, no plumbing, no wifi...just had to find a campground with facilities. out came the old Colman stove and Colman lamp, but we had fun.

@gijsje The stars were wonderful - Southern Cross and various other constellations!

I bet you were excited, like kids playing at houses! Looks a lovely camp site under that midnight blue sky! Even a little light to mark your position on the field, have they also got a shower block & other facilities? Not that you would need any of them as I'm sure you have everything on board! Have fun & joy your breakfast!

@happypat We haven't attached our grey and black water tanks yet Pat which meant a wander across the frosty field under the stars!

This looks really cosy for your first night in your caravan. Enjoy your trip.

@happypat No - been there and done that, though! There is a double bed permanently made up in the van with a Tempur mattress (memory foam)!

I'm anxious to hear about your adventures traveling about in the caravan. I would love to do the same when I retire!

Sounds like a fun first trip. Were you the only ones camping? Nice photo to remember the trip by!

@kiwichick Yes the Camping Ground was empty except for one big and untidy bus type affair with a stuffed dog in the window! (it was a toy!)

@dawnee A different view out the windows and different sounds every time you shift! Great to enjoy life like this!

Looks very cozy. Not a big crowd there.
September 10th, 2016  
A neat photograph to show us where you are staying - and certainly no close neighbours as there would be in the middle of summer.

Awesome shot

Looks very cozy! We passed a camper today and Jeff shook his head, "I don't see the attraction in that" he stated. Too bad I do!
