Wow it got hot in the caravan last night, we had to open the roof vent.
It also warmed up pretty quickly this morning once we had opened all of the blinds. Firstly Mark helped jenny sort the break light on her caravan and then we had lunch. We had cous cous with mixed salad and Anais and Roman had a cheese sandwich and crisps which they took with the picnic blanket in the other field and had a picnic by themselves.
This afternoon we went shopping. Days before we were due to go home last summer I sat on my sun glasses and never got round to replacing them. This morning it was so bright, especially in the awning, I was straining my eyes so needed to go and buy some new ones.
We also got Anais and Roman some new outdoor toys from Poundland. When we got back this afternoon we hardly saw them as they have been playing outside.
One caravan went home this morning. Including us there are only five caravans here - it is very nice and quiet and peaceful (until Anais and Roman go out to play!)

This morning we went to buy a new gas bottle. We only use gas for the hob and oven as everything else is electric. The last time we had to buy a gas bottle was in September 2012, last season we almost used the bottle up, it is currently reading "low". As it is a lightweight gas bottle the dealer said they were out of stock and there was a national shortage of lightweight gas bottles. This was confirmed by another dealer when Mark phoned to ask if they had any in stock. Mark put the gas bottle back on for now and hoped there was enough gas in it to boil our potato's for tea and luckily there was!
We have a microwave in the caravan and a slow cooker, we also have Mark's gas BBQ with us. We did have an electric steamer in the caravan but took it out as it hardly got used (perhaps time to put back in?!?!) We can also go home (i.e Mark go can home when he is passing) and bring the halogen oven back if we need to. We do have the option of chaning the lightweight bottle for a normal bottle but we are going to hold out to see when the lightweight bottles become available again so there may be some fun dinner's ahead cooking with limited means!
Tea tonight - gammon in the slow cooker, boiled potato's, frozen carrots, brocolli and cauliflower cooked in the microwave and gravy.

One thing I LOVE about this caravan is the size of the ice box. After going from a freezer in the old caravan that was only capable of storing an ice pack, this freezer is currently holding ice-creams, a bag of frozen veg, frozen sweetcorn, frozen wedges, chicken pieces and chicken burgers.
We like this pitch as we are near to the water point. Mark brought the blue UV water pipe with us again so when we need water all we have to do is connect the pipe to the tap and it fills the water container up - no rolling the water container to the tap!
This afternoon we have all been in the sun. I sat and started the latch hook I had for Christmas...............
.............it will eventually look like this and go with the bird curtain in the conservatory..........
....................this is how far I got with it today.
It is 54 rows high, I did 14 rows today, 40 rows left to do.

We have been watching bunnies and squirrels!
A full moon tonight.
