Our new home on wheels

Saturday March 7th.

Following our explore of the local woods, we took a trip up to Holmfirth. We got a cheap bacon butty from the Methodist mission and felt a little guilty I was only in there for a cheap butty and didn't share the view of the world that these generous people did. The guilt didn't last long, as the multitude of cafes and 'deli shop's this little village has, all charged at least double for a bacon butty. Big shout to the Methodist ladies. God bless you.

Holmfirth is a peculiar town, and one I intend to get to know better. The village, so it seems, is essentially set up around the fact that 'Last of the Summer Wine' was filmed here! It is literally a tourist village. How bizarre that a pretty naff programme like LotSW could attract so many people to a village. I'm certain the village has a history that stretches beyond the 1980's. I'll do a bit if research, and no doubt post my exciting findings here!

We got back to the site, and sat impatiently for our new home to arrive!

Andy and Gill delivered our van, and we hitched it onto the new pitch. We dropped the legs, and after a while getting it sorted, we eventually got it all up, awning and all.

How exciting.

A customary cup of tea, a bit of unpacking and although we both wanted to just stay and enjoy our new home, alas I had to get to work. So a quick half hour in the van and we were off.

We got in about 12:30am. I'd had a couple of Westons at work and was well in the mood. Jodes opened a bottle of wine and we had a toast to our new home on wheels.

We eventually crashed out in our new bed, in silence, happy and excited!
