I've been looking back for a photo of our awning in use. Seeing this one from 2015 makes the thought of summer and getting away very desirable.

It was a perfect hot sunny week at New England Bay and as you see we cooked outside. All the stuff outside (apart from the barbecue) fitted in the awning. I think that was Beef Stroganoff in the making.

We had a really great meet up with Helen and Trevor this morning. Lovely to meet them and their lovely dog. We had a very enjoyable walk round the lakes followed by a coffee and got back just before the rain arrived. A lovely way to spend a Saturday morning.smile

It's just the Club to me, was, is and shall be. Only Club I am a member of, and that is mainly for the CLs.

Mind you, I still call most of the renamed sites by their old names as well.  My bank is just, the Bank. Work was just, work. 

I only name things of great importance and value.

I wouldn't say I am in the Club to strangers though! wink

 

Incidentally, will Red Pennant henceforth be known as Brown Squiggle?

We will be looking for an inflatable that is large enough for cooking as well as seating. Even in the winter, my wife insists on doing all the cooking in the awning. The advantage being that you don't have the lingering smell of cooking in the van. The caravan kitchen is just used for making cups of tea or coffee or microwave meals.

We were thinking of buying one at the National in Sandringham. Hopefully, there'll be a stand of awning displays there so that we can see what they look like erected. Then we'll be able to choose one that will have adequate space inside.

Just a thought Malcom, how good are they at extended use. Yours is deployed most of the year. Given how expensive they are it might be worth making enquiries.
