A short trip to the Cotswolds

We are off on another trip, just for a few days.   Destination the Cotswolds.  The last time we seriously had a look around here was in1994. Since then we have driven through once, and visited Oxford once.  It is such a beautiful area too so I am not sure why we have left it so long.  

Yesterday Walter put some silicone in the small hole in the back corner of the caravan.  The hole being the result of the caravan hitting the edge of the building beside our storage area.  He then covered the repair with some white tape, in the hope it would be less noticeable.  At least the white tape matches the colour of the caravan.  A plaster always helps an injury.

 All hitched up and ready to go.  it was not raining either or bitterly cold.  Good weather does help.  And I think we have sorted out the electrical switches in the caravan. So complicated, and crucial to the life of the leisure battery. 

We had a really lovely trip, not too much traffic on the M25 or M40, and the drive past Oxford and through the subsequent countryside was very scenic.  And the sun was shining too.  Perfect.

We are now in a camping ground in Moreton-in-Marsh, and currently relaxing in our very comfortable caravan.  Unhitching and setting up was very easy.  I wish we could do it this well back in the storage area.  Apparently the potholes are being filled in this week.  Hopefully before we get back.

The site is very large, and mostly full of motorhomes and caravans.  Retirees, like us, out spending their pensions no doubt.  There are some very flash and expensive motorhomes around us. 

Tomorrow the gardens of Hidcote are high on our agenda plus a good look around the area.  Looking forward to it.
