roemin around

  After a rather chilly night we awoke to another perfect looking day. Warmed up some bacon from the night before for breakfast and had a day in Stow on the Wolds looking in the Cotswolds Store for a new bookcase. Right by the door there was an ex-display solid oak one reduced from £699 to £150 which was ideal but we had to take it away ourselves as it was a sale item.  We went for an expensive coffee and cake £18,50 at Huffkins to mull over whether we could pay and collect the next day. I decided to give it a go so we paid for it and arranged to collect it the next day on the way home. We had a shandy on the lawn at the Stow Lodge hotel (expensive) then we walked back up the hill to the Tesco where we were parked and did a bit more shopping before returning to site for a bit more sitting in the sun. Just a simple tapas style meal tonite with some Tesco yellow stickers and stuff from home.

  We are off today for our first trip of the year (and maybe our last) to the Cotswolds for 2 nights. We are going to Moreton on Marsh CMC site, which is the first site we ever pitched on back in 2003. The weather forecast for the week is dry and sunny so good timing for once. We left home at around 11:30 for the 90 min drive stopping at the CoOp in Moreton for some provisions. After hooking up at aound 2:30 we walked into the small town via the camping pod area (that wasnt here in 2003) and the path which comes out in the market square. The market was just packing up so we shared a gelato, bought some budgie seed and expensive cheese, then wandered back via the main road to site. These is a wood fired pizza oven on site tonite but we have bought a piece of steak to grill on the plank. There are quite a few small campervans here, including German, Dutch and an elderly Belgian couple right behind us. We relaxed in the warm sun for a few hours before grilling the steak and some bacon...
