Cornwall is open for business

'Cornwall is open for business' that is the message for VisitCornwall and one we fully endorse -although we are not open for a few more weeks.  Weather seems to be the main content of my blogs these days and it is hardly surprising, however we are, thankfully doing okay.  As I have previously said the drainage is working a treat and we have little standing water.  The vast amount of work early in the close season in the bottom field has paid off it would appear and the entire site is draining much better.  Outside work has been stopped since before Christmas, however we are confident the weather will change for the better soon and we can crack on with improving the lighting around the site and other outside projects.

This week has been the worst week of weather to hit us.  On Wednesday the rain, hail and wind was unbelievable.  Jessica and I walked to playgroup at 100 miles an hour as we were blown along all protected in full waterproofs!  Today is pretty bad too.  I am sitting at home in the office watching the trees bend in two and the hail come in side ways.  However Carol Kirkwood, who we now watch every morning without fail promises a better week next week so we can look forward to that.

I am feeling a bit spring like despite it all.  The nights are without doubt drawing out now - we have light until 5.40pm and the bulbs are battling against the odds to come up and when it is nice the Cornish sun has a real warmth about it too - you can't help but smile when you feel that warmth.  You see that is one of the many things we love about Cornwall is that we seem to feel the warmth of the sun first and the first signs of spring are always early and offer us hope that there is warmer weather just around the corner.  Lets face we have got to have a stunning summer after the last few weeks - so get booking to avoid disappointment!

Book online

The online booking is now available again - apologies for the small technical issues we were having but all is fixed now so please do book online to ensure you get the best rates available.

Despite the truly horrid weather we are all still standing - just- down here.  It has been a scary 24 hrs.  So far the only casualty seems to be a flag pole from on top of reception.  We are hoping all this rain now means we are all set for a glorious summer!

Bookings

Hello,
I am afraid we are having a little technical issue with our online bookings at the moment, so until it is fixed we have removed that option from the website - hopefully we should have it working in the next few days.  In the meantime please do give Richard a call in the office on 01726 843687 or email mail@littlewinnick.co.uk.

Talking of bookings - the first two weeks in August are getting very busy - we have limited availability left so please do get in contact sooner rather than later if you have specific weeks you would like to come and stay at Little Winnick Touring Park.

Last blog I was off on my first aid course - it was a Family First Aid Course - very interesting and useful but hopefully something I will never have to put into practice at Little Winnick or home.  Home life is certainly busy for us at the moment.  Jessica is now 18 months old and in to everything as you can imagine.  She loves coming to the site and helping us but at the moment is a particular fan of puddles, well more to the point jumping in them!

Puddles leads me on nicely to the weather.  Right now we are meant to be in the eye of yet another storm.  Well, thankfully it seems very calm and dare I say it, we even have blue skies to enjoy at the moment.
