Through the kids eyes........

Who are you?


My name is Sophie, I am 7 years old and we live in the house on the caravan park

Do you like living in the middle of a caravan park?

Sometimes I do. Its good because people come and talk to me and my sister. But I don’t like it when Mummy and Daddy have to keep going to reception when I need them in the house and people ring up in the middle of the night to ask if we have room for them to come and stay – it wakes me up. We have movie nights on Friday nights and people keep knocking on our door and interrupting.

There must be some good things - isn’t it nice meeting lots of new people?

Yes because we get to play with other people. Trev and Sue make me laugh and Andy is helping me with my gardening homework. We get lots of Easter eggs from our customers. We can ride our bikes round and round the caravan park.

What is the best bit about living here?

In the holidays we get to go to the park with my grandma and play with the other boys and girls staying here. I helped Grandpa pick the park out of the book. I get very cross when children drop litter on it.

I also like sleeping in the caravans when we are allowed. We get to choose a different one each time and I am hoping that one day we are allowed to sleep in a tent.

I also like it when we can all close the gates.

Whats the worst thing about living here?

I miss my Mummy and Daddy when they are busy. Its also unfair that some children are allowed to stay up because they are on their holidays and I’m not allowed because I live here and have to go to school.

Do Mummy and Daddy let you work with them?

Me and my sister have our work uniforms so we can look like them when we help. We get to do the inventories with Mummy which helps with our counting and me and my sister see who can get the most rubbish in our sacks when we do a litter pick with my Daddy.

I told Mummy we should do an activity pack for the other children like we get when we go to restaurants. She thinks it is a really god idea so I am helping her with that at the moment.

Is it good having Mummy and Daddy to yourselves in the winter?

Yes because we get to go sledging in the tent fields – they can play with us. We can go on our own holidays in the winter. Mummy won’t let me go in a tent though because its too cold in the winter.

Do you want to run a caravan park when you are older?

No I want to be a dancer – but then I can put dance shows on for our guests and I can go on the stage when we go to Grandpas. Amelia can run the caravan park.
