Stretto Boy
LIFE MEMBER
I suggested to my wife last night, on a bit of a whim, that we take the motorhome to Eyebrook Reservoir this evening (only about 10 miles from home) and wild camp there overnight. She loves this spot because she is an amateur ornithologist and it is good for birds. I wanted to take my camera and get some nice shots of the water around sunrise tomorrow. My wife doesn't really do things on a whim though so I agreed not to go 
She did however agree to my suggestion, made about half an hour ago, that we overnight in the MH at home She is out walking the dog at the moment but, when she returns, I will be knocking up ravioli and garlic flatbread, followed by strawberries and ice-cream, all to be consumed in the van. Then it's a nice long read for me, followed by a comfy night (I always sleep better in the van ) We will even shower and breakfast here in the morning.
We are fortunate because, as my wife is a horse-lover, we have four acres of paddock
surrounding our dwelling. So although the habitation door is only about 10 feet from the front door of our house we have what I like to think of as our own private CL. We even have EHU available, connected by threading the cable through the letter box and plugging it in to the hall socket
To give you an idea, here are a few shots taken on my phone camera about 20 minutes ago. The little Shetland is Penny. Carolina and Tina, the other two horses, are round the corner and out of shot.
Apologies for the weeds by the way. Tomorrow's job is to jump on the John Deere and mow the paddock.
So the question Funsters is this. Are we daft to stay in our motorhome at home? Have you ever done it, simply for the fun of it as opposed to out of necessity?
I can hear wifey coming back, so better crack on with dinner now!
