Unlike trips on my own with Brunnehilda, this and the last trip (in February to Embleton) the Travels With Brunnehilda blog has been written retrospectively. When I’m on my own there always seems lots of time to consider what I’m going to write and then to write it up. When I’m not travelling on my own that time seems to disappear - which I guess is a good thing. Someone to talk to during the day rather than consider what I’m going to write. Someone to spend time with in the evening rather than tapping on my phone!
We were due to be on site by 2 but I had a puncture the day before and I didn’t have that fixed until after lunchtime. So we didn’t leave Welton until gone 3pm. It was a good and quick journey with no stop and arriving soon after 6pm.
With Di as my co traveller again the set up was quick and easy too. She got in with doing all the stuff in the van while I sorted the outside. By 7 we were having our first cup of tea.
The site is amazing! It’s called Sunflower House in the charming wee Village of Yoxford. It’s right on the A12 so easy to access. Although we had a bit of a stand off in the village just before Yoxford. A very angry woman refused to back up for me (a caravan!) at a narrow part of the main road. She furiously gesticulated at me (and the 2 cars behind) to back up and let her through. She finally realised that was never gunna happen and greeted our wave of thanks when she did eventually back up with a tyraid of pure hate, anger and venom! Poor woman .. God knows she’s got going on in her life that she’s having to deal but I’m glad I’m not living in her head!!
The site is on a farm with a huge field leading into an area of woodland (with a pond). There are lovely walkways available to take the dog. Although the curious goats and angry geese weren’t that pleased to see Tilly.
We were quite tired after a long day so walked the 200 yards down the A12 to the Kings Head. A lively friendly little local pub. I had an amazing steak burger and Di had a chicken burger. We shared some very naughty fries smothered in all sorts of bad stuff!!
The day has been sunny from sun up to sun set. The rest of the week was forecasted to be exactly the same each day. And they were right - 4 days of nothing but bright blue skies and continuous sunshine - wonderful!
