Hi everyone
I am a newbie! Well I have been observing from the side lines for a while!
My name is Vik my husband is Rich we are in our early 30,s (well I am - ha,ha). We have got 3 kids - 8,4 & 18 months.
We've got a 3 week trip booked for August in France - this will be the third time over the water in it. I will fill you in on the route later once we finalise it. We love it! Last year we did 3 weeks solely on Aires and it was great the kids had a fab time. Would love to move there eventually.
At the moment we are re-fitting the shower area. It was really tatty & dated it had loads of ugly plastic cabinets which was great to rip out they took up loads of room and weren't that roomy. We have just re-panelled it some white waterproof stuff that my brother-in-law supplies to hospitals don't know the technical details but it looks good and thats what counts.
We have got a new mirror, taps, basin & ped,toilet seat, loads of nice storage from Ikea/Next so it should look good, nice,clean & modern. I have taken the before pics so when it is complete I will post the before & after on to see what you think:thumb: I can't wait, it's great when you put your own stamp on something.
Anyway...now I am looking for some advice please if anyone can help. We are off to Waddington airshow at the weekend and wondered if anyone knows of any wild spots where we can stay Sat night? As there are still a few bits to complete on the van we may not get to leave while tea-time and as the gates open at 8am we wanted to get there early before the crowds so it's not really worth trying to get on a site. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hope I can input as much useful info as others do on a regular basis, I'll try!!
Better go the 18 month is on the dining table ripping the Argos to shreds!!!!
Thanks Vik
