What more could anyone ask. It's a place I definitely want to visit. I smiled when the lady asked if the campsite knew you had a car and I loved your reply.

    Lovely site, worth the the struggle to get in. Sorry to hear about Poppies problems, it always fantastic to see the way they bounce back. One of my two often gets the trots when we are away, I’ve got it down to the changes in water. I live in a very soft water area a there can be significant changes wherever you go. I think it’s because they can’t tell us how they are feeling that makes us so worried for them.

Poppy must have been a worry for you both, especially on such a long tour round, you must walk and drive many miles, glad Poppy is feeling better. Take care. Warm wishes to you both 👍👍🇮🇲🇮🇲 xx

    Hello both, I’ve just subscribed to your Chanel, really enjoying your posts. Went looking for Motorhome vlogs as we have just bought our first one after selling our boat this year. So far we have had a good couple of weekends in it which we enjoyed thoroughly, can’t believe how busy it is everywhere though. We have had a caravan before so not total newbies but have found your information most informative. Thanks for sharing I’ll be watching out for new posts 😊 glad Poppy is better.

    Thank you Bob and Jenny for another very enjoyable video. It's great to see the outside world as all our plans for caravanning this year have been scuppered because of the lockdown and family circumstances. We have a very large 'garden gnome' sat in our garden doing nothing. My wife has suggested that we spend a couple of nights in it and 'pretend that we have been away. Hopefully, next year will be better and we can continue our adventures. The Norfolk/Suffolk area is on our 'to-do list'. Stay safe and keep well- Eric

    Can't be helped, the address is still given as Love Lane. It was a road once that went to St Ives. It's not as if you could go down there now anyway. The sat nav has the dimensions of the motorhome but not Love Lane. Also proves you still have to use common sence with any sat nav!
