There is not a place in the world that I'd rather be.

Sitting here in my suburban garden with blue cloudless sky's lunching on a bit of salad and a small glass of Chablis, the birds are singing, along with a huge bird of pray circling on the thermals way up in the sky, the occasional small aircraft from Elstree aerodrome interrupting the buzzing of the bees from my neighbors three hives while they attend to the flora.. Absolute love this spot in my garden, I wouldn't wish to be anywhere else in the world. Do you have a favorite spot, if so where is it? :cool:
 
Agree about the garden. We have several places to sit and relax with varying degrees of shade and breeze. Birds singing. Flowers flowering. Riesling flowing.

Also enjoy travelling to our permanent pitch by a lake, forest and river in Pershore. Very peaceful.

But, getting away in our moho is just great too.

Choices, choices!
 
On top of the great Orme in North Wales,
NYE overnighted half way down it. The views of the stars and fireworks for miles around was a sight to behold.

I probably head up there 30 times per year, love it, so many ways up.
 
Just had a run on the beach with the dogs in St Ives, now sitting in a Belgium Cafe sipping Duval and waiting for my lunch.
No doubt waffles will follow😁😁
Lovely warm day, first time we’ve been back to St Ives for about 20 years and it is still mostly the same.
It’s fairly busy and would not want to be here when the kids are let loose from school 😁😁

Can you take the motorhome up there ? Is it 'private' road, much parking ?
 
Penang Island Malaysia, enquiring children full of joy, coast that entreats you to be calm.Silence broken by the sea crashing in.
Food that has flavour and fresh that day.
Penang

Never been Chipgate but it sounds absolute bliss. (y)
 
Margaret River South West Australia, amazing beaches, fabulous wines and fantastic wildlife, spent a month there last year we are definitely going back.
Second choice Porthcurnick on the Roseland Peninsular Cornwall, eating at the hidden hut is a delight, well I did marry a Falmouth Lass.

I love my house and garden in Sherborne but today this is my view from a very nice CS/CL near Padstow. We’re having a day off from walking and cycling.

It's a Toll Road on the "Sea-side" of the peninsula. Some hairpin turns, but we were OK in our 6m van. On the way down, we took an alternative route on the " land-side" Not sure if it's Down Only. Big carpark at the top. Bronze age copper mine on the way up is well worth a visit. Others with bigger vans may comment.

We're having a garden day. Only a little garden but love it, a sun trap. Got the sunbeds out, we'll soon be as brown as we are in Benidorm. 🌞
We have a larger garden but spend 90% of our time in just 10% of the garden. A great place to spend a sunny afternoon. I have also been instructed that we will be having our meal out there tonight so had better clear my mess up before it arrives.... We do miss Benidorm, not been for a couple of years but the garden is a great substitute. (y)

I got as far as salad and gave up. :rofl: :rofl:

Sounds like my kind of place :-) Enjoy
 
Currently only occupant of a field near junction of Tissington and High Peak trail, 24 mile cycle ride today, great weather, if only it could last the week

All sounds ideal except for the wine choice lol

Lac de Sainte Croix at the end of the Gorges du Verdon, Haute Provence. Hopefully be there in two weeks time 🤞

Yes you can, day and night.
there is a pay and display at the top for through the day, does say no overnights but Ive done a few, after the Conwy council guy told ne dont worry.
Then as you come down there are 2 or 3 spots, in total probs hold 10 MH spaces if required
the one half way down facing the sea just past the graveyard is good.
And if you go up through the town instead of going "round" the orme and up that way then there is no fee to pay for traversing round the Orme, but I think the payment is only required between 9 and 6 £3.00 i think.

I overnight here https://w3w.co/reassured.asked.brisk
and sometimes here but not very level

Thanks, it's years since I been there, but it's on my list for next time in that area.
