Jolly Campers

Just wanted to share this lovely email and photos we received from Caroline and family after their weekend away in Penfold.  Always great to hear and see what adventures our VW Campervans have been on.

Hi there,

Just to say a big thank you to you both, we had a really fun time with 'Penfold' !!!

We stayed at a lovely campsite - Turner Hall Farm, Seathwaite, South East Lakes and also Burns Farm near Keswick and spent Sunday afternoon at Grange where the children love to chase minnows and swim.

It was an 'end of term surprise' for Emilia and Alex and as you can tell from the photographs they were very happy campers !

Kind Regards,

Caroline and Ramin, Emilia and Alexander .

VW Campervan Blogs

My sister has just pointed me in the direction of the following blog. Lark are one of the stockists of her Belle and Boo range but Allison and Paul are also her good friends after her visit to Australia, Christmas before last. (Belle and Boo Blog Lark Visit)

Their shop is full of beautiful items and so imagine my delight when their latest blog is all about the new VW Campervan accessories she has started to sell Lark Campervan Blog

If anyone know's of any other good VW Campervan Blogs to follow then please let me know

Childhood Memories

Some of my fondest are definitely from time spent in the great outdoors.  Whether it be on our annual 2 week camping holiday with about 4 other families to Shell Island , when after breakfast the kids would set off on their adventure for the day exploring the island only to return at tea time when we were hungry again.

Or having bonfires and climbing trees at our friends house who were lucky enough to have a private wood with stream running through it, or simply heading out on a walk and picnic for the day.

So I love coming across websites like KidzOutdoors run by Jane & Neil with the sole purpose of encouraging kids to play outdoors.  With the imminent arrival of our first child I am just hoping he will share our love.

Beach Side Campsites

Guardian article from yesterday with top 10 recommended Beach side campsites, by readers.  Will definitely be adding some of these to my wishlist of places to visit. 

Slightly surprised Shell Island did not get a mention though

When is a Campervan not a Campervan?

Answer: When it's a full size,1:1 scale, replica tent.
Although not as good as sleeping in an actual VW Campervan, this would be a great, fun, festival alternative.

With 2 double bedrooms and a choice of red, blue or yellow colours, this tent will be sure to make you stand out in the camping fields at any festival.

Just remember , you've still got to pack it away at the end of your stay!
