Well, that was most certainly one of the better 3 days of my life in what seems like an eternity!!!
I drove down to the New Forest with 2 other VW camper vans and owners and we meet up with loads of other owners and their vans, beetles and tents and had 3 days of heaven!!!
We stayed in small but perfectly formed camp site down in the heart of the New Forest and we had it all. The weather was just perfect, and it was jolly good to see faces, some who I knew and some who I had never met before.
It was a weekend of lazing about, drinking loads and generally chatting and wafting about aimlessly!!!
I was glad to be back out in my van, and I was shocked at just how much I had missed it all. It was also good to go away and be alone in the van with no-one else to worry about and good to be away from the flat and not spend 3 days cleaning and pottering about.
I did feel slightly weird being on my own again, but it was not as bad as I had thought. It made a refreshing change, and I just wish that I could afford to go away a lot more now I have had this taste of things. Money though will not allow and I really do not want to take the piss by keep asking the lady upstairs to watch my boys.
The lady upstairs said that the boys were very good and no trouble at all. That was quite handy as she is looking after them again this weekend whilst I go off to Santa Pod to watch some racing!!!
I am already brewing up to ask her to do another weekend in May!!! Still, I am thinking that a bottle of Pims and/or chocolate per weekend of babysitting may encourage her!!!!
I do feel very refreshed and relaxed and that being alone does have many more benefits than I had first realised.
Now don’t get me wrong, I would love to have another go at the relationship thing, but at the moment, I am in no real rush, which is kind of handy, as I am not exactly being swamped with offers!!!!!
p.s thanks for the cat comments, I do treasure them dearly..... they are my little mates!
