Site Complete

Thank you all for your contributions. We are now here for our third evening and the place is still full. I spoke to the lovely lady running the place and she said that their site has become more popular over the last few years. I can understand why. We have a very generous pitch, a fast and free wifi connection and getting to the Reims Park and Ride is easy.

From my observations, there are some, but not many one-nighters although I can understand why that would be attractive, but for motorhomers, there is an aire on the A26 not too far away.

I think that the manager, her reputation and the quality of the site have just made it very popular. If Brexit allows, we would certainly come back here again and if we were this close to July, book ahead.

We now have one more day's holiday left before making the trek back to Calais and home. I always find this the most difficult part of the holiday. I simply do not want to go back to money grubbing, gross, rude and dirty England. I know I have to, but I really don't want to. Do you feel the same way or are you anxious to go home?

Dunclair, you said "If Brexit allows..." I think you'll find that the French won't bar Euro paying customers from the UK entry and our lot won't stop you going either.

I can see all of the regular visitors that travel abroad and contribute to CT will still be going despite Brexit and whatever it throws at us.

"I simply do not want to go back to money grubbing, gross, rude and dirty England. I know I have to, but I really don't want to"

I rarely comment in this section since we don't tour overseas with the van. But I do read many posts and if what you've said above is your true feeling (and shared by others) then you are welcome to continue taking your holidays in a place which obviously suits you better. 

Dunclair, why do you continue to live in England?

You praised the previous area you lived in so you could move back there if living across The Channel is a step too far for you. 

A country is surely only as good as the people who inhabit it. 

I agree with WN. dont see anything other than a Trump type wall stopping us maintaining the giving of most of our vanning business to the mainland...

is England money grabbing?...possibly....dirty?...can be....rude?....certainly there isn't the service culture you get overseas and brusque-ness is not unusual....

however, we do tour a bit in the UK...every other week when 'over here' and am still happy to be in the van but, for us, it isn't the same as being away....for loads of reasons.

We will also continue visiting Europe at least once a year,  though not in the van obviously. But we'll do it with our eyes open and spot every bit as much money grabbing, dirt and certainly rudeness in Europe as we do in this country - i.e. very little  - but then we don't go looking for it.

(And with that I'll return to "read only" mode in this section! )

When we travelled in Europe we found it just as Dunclair finds England (in places),it just that with the space they have it was a greater distance between
