We are in the South Lytchett Manor Caravan and Camping Park, Lytchett Minster, near Poole. For people who do not live in the UK, Poole is in Dorset, on the south coast, west of Portsmouth, Southhampton and Bournemouth. We went through the New Forest to get here.
I left behind my 'unusual information about places' book so cannot write anything remarkable about this area, except Dorset is the place where the 'Famous Five' adventures took place. Already I keep looking out for four children on bicycles with a dog running alongside. They are very easy to recognise with their posh accents, and ruck sacks full of scrumptious cream teas and lashings of ginger beer. I am still a big fan of the 'Famous Five' and have introduced the grandchildren to the stories, via CDs which we listen to as we travel in the car or motor home. So unreal!
We are also trying out all our new gadgets in the motor home, such as the rubbish bin which is now attached to the door, rather then getting under everyone's feet. We also have a cling film, foil and paper towel dispenser above the sink, and containers to hold the washing up brush and detergent so that they do not sit around in the sink, getting in my way, when I cook. Little gadgets like this makes one very happy when one is touring around. All from Ikea of course!
I discovered today that we only have one wine glass. Wine glasses do not travel well! Luckily we went to the local pub tonight for dinner.
The camping ground is very smart and totally manicured with its gravelled pitches and landscaped grounds.
Off to Poole tomorrow.
