Another season almost finished..

Not long until the park closes for the season. I look back at Sophie's posts and smile - she did have a very busy summer and they had some great days out - so many that she didn't have time to finish off the blog.

We are still very busy - four caravans have moved from the park this week and a further four/five are due to move from the park in the coming weeks. Its exciting times and we are really looking forward to the new ones arriving at the beginning of next year. For our guests it means that all caravans that are booked directly though the park are centrally heated - just what is required at this time of the year.

I'm still here!!

Today we spent the day rock pooling with Daddy in Filey.

We had out buckets, spades and nets. I found 4 crabs. We had lots of fun paddling in the sea but I cut myself on a rock (ouch).

We had some yummy ice cream and donuts (don't tell Mummy) then played mini golf - I came 2nd.

After that we went to visit my Grandpa at Crows Nest Caravan Park before coming home.

See you laters

A Day in York

Hi Sophie here,

Yesterday we went to Yorvik Viking centre in the centre of York. I am going to rate it 4 star because although I enjoyed it my little sister cried all the way round. It was very dark for her. It smelt very funny but was realistic to how things would have been a long time ago.

After that we met up with my Grandma and she took us for lunch at Red Chilli - a Chinese restaurant. It was really yummy - I shared with my sister.

In the afternoon my sister went home as she had a break-dancing class but I stayed in York with my Auntie.

We went to York Castle Museum. I loved it and it gets my 5 stars but the policeman was a little creepy.

That's me over and out.

See you laters

A Wet Day!!!

It's been a fab today - we've had the paddling pool out for most of the day as have many of our guests. It's the only way we could think to cool off.

Like many of our guests we also had a BBQ for tea - yummy!

We've also spent the evening playing with other children on the site. I love living on a caravan park as we are always meeting new people.

Heading to York with Mummy tomorrow so will have plenty to report back on.

See you laters

New Writer!

Hello, my name is Sophie and I am 9 years old. Mummy is letting me write the blog for the school holidays so I can tell you exactly what there is to do around here.

Today I've mostly been at my dance classes. I have been looking forward to coming home to see all my friends. I get to meet different friends everyday on the caravan park which is super duper fun.

Later in the week we will be going out but I have to wait for Mummy and Daddy to have some time off.

See you laters

An afternoon off.....

We are lucky to live so close to many attractions - theme parks, forests and stately homes. We are only 5 minutes away from Nunnington Hall and with the chance of a couple of hours to ourselves we headed there this afternoon.

We had no idea that is was actually their summer fete this afternoon which was a huge bonus. The girls enjoyed snail racing, sand art, Birds of Prey and the coconut shy.

This sand art stall has given me a great idea for future birthday parties. The girls have done this particular craft at home before but always end up making a mess all over the kitchen. Its great to know that someone would organise it for us and clear the mess away when the kids have all finished.

Snail racing! What a fantastic idea - we must use this at a future PTA event. 50p a go and if your snail comes first you win £1.

 We did have a quick look round the house - but by the time we got indoors it was almost time to come home. On piece of advice I would give is to go when the children's trails are on. Whilst the kids are busy looking round the rooms for clues the adults have time to wander around the rooms and have a good look at the exhibits.

We've had a giggle.....

Over the last few weeks we have chatted to other accommodation providers about the quirky guests we all have and some of the things they do and things we would rather they didn't do. We all decided that together we could probably write a book - possibly even a trilogy.

Lets start with the guest that unpicked every other curtain hook from every curtain in the caravan they were staying in? Why would you do that? How long must it have taken to do that? And how long did it take for us to put back!?! If you are that guest - I'd rather you just asked me to buy you a bag of curtain hooks - it would certainly have been cheaper ;)

Or are you the guest that accidently managed to pull the door off a static caravan last weekend? You must be very strong as it took two of us to hang it back on again.

Maybe you are the guest that thought washing your jeans in the toilet was a good idea - but they got stuck didn't they? They got stuck in the sewage pump that controls sewage from the whole site. Caused hours of problems for other guests and poor Damian had to sort it all out.

No two days are the same here - we can plan what we are going to do for the day and then something happens to throw us off course. We love our job - we love our quirky guests and can't wait to find out what they do next!
