Last Trip of 2017

Unless anything particular comes up this last weekend was probably my last overnight for 2017. There's nothing else in the calendar and I've got very little holiday left.

I was attending a boat rally just over the county border in Warwickshire at a pub. When we first started going there I was stopping in the donkey field but it's now a full blown, and very nice, caravan price. The downside is that the price has gone up, £20 a night is not unreasonable but it's about the most I've spent this year.

The lack of mains power, and hence heating, was a nuisance. In particular the flame failure on the stove played up, a combination of the cold air and the gas not running too well in the low temperatures. Fixing that is a priority. The only other issue was running out of water on the last night. I got my last drink though and brought the washing up home!
