Does anyone fancy a short break in November?   I've always avoided Skegness for a holiday, too many kiss me quick hats, burger joints, etc. but wanting a short break somewhere close it looks like a great place to spend a few days for a change of view and a breath of sea air (at this time of year it might just be a blast rather than a breath).  Skegness Sands is an affiliated site but does subscribe to the half price midweek pitch fees offer meaning that it will cost just under £10 a night.  I'm booking 15th to 18th.

Just getting ready for the off - hoping to see the big moon tonight but I think thats a bit optimistic!  I think there may be a lot of light polution from the offshore wind farms though.

I hope you all have a good time!  I am off on Wednesday to Baltic Wharf for some retail R&R. Lol

Have fun at Baltic Wharf.  Only snag here is the grass pitches are being upgraded to hard standing.  I hope they don't start work too early!  Weather is warm but set to chill down on Wednesday.  Warden seems amenable to siting us together more or less but the site is tiny anyway unless I have missed something.

Arrived a little bit later than I expected as my conservatory took loonger to finish.  Forgot to put the milk in the fridge, put the wrong mains cable in the caravan,  the one that is too short so had to go and find another one.  I also discovered that since going back to the dealer for a waranty repair one of my mains sockets isn't working,  the one for the TV, as well as that the heated towel rail is off too so the bathroom is freezing.  On the bright side it is a beautiful morning.  Wall to wall blue sky though I have not poked my nose outside yet to see how cold it is.  I'd better make a start and find out what is wrong with my electrics.

I hope everyone got home safely - it was a lovely stay - unfortunate about the Dog Poisoning - still no idea if it was fact or Facebook fiction - but supposedly on the beach by the site.  We just kept the dogs on the sea washed sand in case.

I enjoyed it too, especially our visit to Donna Nook to see all the adult and newborn seals.   We were very lucky with the weather . ..... dry and bright, although cold and windy.  Like we said  ... Skegness is so bracing  Happy
