Springfield Outlet Centre

Drove home via Spalding and the OLC which has a nice water garden and shopping mall. We arrived in time for lunch which was surprising good on site freshly cooked ingredients, in nice white modern surroundings and good value.

Rosemary went off for a quick shop while I sat and had a coffee at one of the Costas. Easy drive home via A15 and A47 took 1hr 46min.

Ashfield Lakes

Very good fishing lake, loads of carp easy to catch with floating baits. Also caught rudd, roach, tench and bream in the 7 hour session. Full sun, had omlette using eggs from site rescue hens. Still on our own on the site.

Fishing break in the Fens

Called in to see Margaret before making our way to a Pitchup site in Lincolnshire for two days fishing. We were alone on the site, basic but half the price of CMC site. Had a couple of hours fishing and caught several carp in the margins.

Chastelton Hall

We headed towards Chipping Norton on our way home until we spotted an NT property we had never visited. It was a bit different to normal as it has been left in the same delapidated state as when it 2ad given to the trust. Had coffee and cake in the church before we left.

Moreton and Broadway

We walked into Moreton for the regular Tuesday market before moving to Broadway for the second night. Broadway station is now open and extends the Cheltenham line as far as Broadway. The line is right at the side of the site presenting regular photo opportunities. 

First trip of 2022

We are just having 2 nights away in the Cotswold to get going again. We have started by spending Monday night at Moreton in Marsh after shopping in the local co-op.
