Two weeks of sunshine, hopefully

 We've (well, I really) decided to stay at the caravan for at least another fortnight, the weather's set to be glorious so we might as well make the most of it.  More of our nearest van neighbours have arrived, so it's a lovely chatty relaxed atmosphere.  We will have to come home every few days, to collect prescriptions, post (there are a few letters we're expecting) and most likely for husband to attend more health appointments.  We're very fortunate to have the van just 40 mins drive away, so coming home for the odd few hours isn't exactly a problem.

We'll start our anniversary days out tomorrow, we'll probably go to Tyntesfield, a National Trust property with extensive gardens near Bristol, I'll pack a picnic for us and Betty.  We might not go out every single day, that would probably be too much for both of us.  We'll visit a village called Mells near Frome, never been before but it looks beautiful, it's a very old village (mostly 15th century) with lovely old stone buildings, a big manor house and a walled garden.  There'll be a couple of garden centre visits, some pub lunches out and a picnic or 2 on the beach.  We'll just take each day as it comes really, and do what we fancy on the day.

We've bought a pop up gazebo for the caravan garden, it's our joint anniversary present, we'll be collecting it on our way back to the van today and erecting it this evening or tomorrow morning, it'll give a bit more shade than just the garden parasol.  Our van garden gets the sun most of the day and can get too hot both for Betty and me.
