Hi to all!
I am Lainey, about to turn 60 & retired early from midwifery due to ill health. My ex hubby, but live in best buddy, Chris, has also retired early (he got annoyed seeing me enjoying our dogs & having fun!!)
Having enjoyed 13 years of South of France villa holidays, we pondered how to still enjoy France on our pensions.....an RV!
And thus, the New Year found us out hunting for our dream on wheels. Not our ultimate dream, but we came upon a Fleetwood Flair rv, in good nick & bought her! The journey home to Brighton from Leicestershire was great.....until nearly home! Our awning deployed & wrecked a couple of cars :Blush:
It has taken from January 5th until last week to get insurance work, plus an MOT etc, but this past weekend, we took our maiden trip out ~ a modest 'wild' night, a basset walk with the dogs & 4 nights in New Forest. It was brilliant fun, if a tad fraught at times!
Whilst in the Forest, we were lucky enough to meet Julia & Brian & we are so grateful for the amazing tips & information they passed on ~ thank you both enormously!
Going to take another short trip after half-term & hopefully, iron out a few issues/learn more ~ before we take off for 6 weeks in France at end of June!
Well done if you got this far, but looking forward to participating, getting to know you all ~ a tad less wordily!
