Well, we are days away from the end of yet another season. It has whizzed by in a blink to be honest and what a season it has been. From kittens and rabbits on leads to caravans coming unhitched as they pull out on the main road...it really has been an exciting and enjoyable season. I will leave the full round up for the next blog - just in case anything memorable happens between now and when we officially close at the weekend.
As the season draws to a close we get to have a bit more time together as a family; this weekend will be our first full weekend off together since March and we are starting our holidays! Earlier this week, with the park pretty quiet we headed over to the Isles of Scilly for a few days - a belated birthday present for Richard. With the children at grand parents (what a treat - the house stayed tidy and the fridge remained full) we began our 2015 holiday adventures and.... Wow. Wow. Wow. I cannot recommend it highly enough and with day returns from Newquay Airport why not try and squeeze a visit in the next time you are in Cornwall? It really is worth every penny.
We flew out on a tiny plane, the pilot was within touching distance. It kind of felt like you were in a catapult being launched into the sky. On arrival I was taken back by the amazing plants, white sand and (luckily) the amazing weather. We took a couple of boat trips over our few days to St Martin's and Tresco. Both of which have magical beaches and gardens and plants that are just stunning. Not only stunning, but the food is incredible too - I guess because everything has to be cooked fresh. Even the sandwiches were delicious. I pretty much ate seafood for the whole time we were there, enjoying not having to share any food with little mouths! In fact I would have welcomed little people to share some of the food as I am well and truly stuffed now.
In conclusion I have been lucky enough to visit some pretty special places in my life, but rarely have I been somewhere that makes you relax and unwind in quite the magically way the Scillies does. It is an incredible, special place and you really must try and squeeze a day or two there as part of any Cornish holiday.
Phase two of our holidays starts on Saturday - we are off to Norfolk to visit family and friends for a week then we are staying in a static caravan in the New Forest. Much to Richard's dread we may even have a visit to Peppa Pig World as we have two little people who love Peppa!
As for things here at Little Winnick, well we welcome the last Rally of the season in later today, they are here for the weekend, then we will closing the gates for the very last time for this year. We have already closed many of our pitches as we begin work on reseeding the grass. In between jobs I am spending far too much time cooing over Steve & Jude's (our Wardens) new family member - a boxer puppy. Apparently no puppies are allowed in our house!
