We were really late planning our Easter break, mainly because we’ve been arranging lots of trips for April, May and June. It suddenly crept up on us. With our lack of organisation it could have been a bit of a disaster but it turned out to be an amazing weekend. A week before I had…
This summer, we were lucky enough to win a competition to stay in a brand spanking new Bailey Unicorn Cartagena at the Hillhead Caravan Club site in Devon. The competition was run by the Caravan Club to come up with ideas for the Meek family’s 2015 list of 100 summer…
