Snowy week
We’ve just spent a week here on this lovely site, all by ourselves. The day after we arrived it began to snow with the ‘Beast from the East’ and then we had Storm Emma. We were safe and snug in our caravan although the water froze. The site is lovely and spacious, with a good shower/toilet block. There are woods across the road where you can go for a walk but you need wellies at this time of the year. We got out every day down to the shops for supplies, which are about a mile away but didn’t have the opportunity to explore the area much. The snow was so bad that all non essential travel wasn’t advisable and we had everything that we needed in the caravan. The owners popped around to see us bringing eggs and stayed for a chat. They were very busy with their farm animals and especially the sheep that were due to lamb. There are plenty of farm animals around to watch in the fields. We did get out and drove to Gretna Green and Carlisle. Had the weather been ok we would have done much more exploring as it’s an ideal site to get out in all directions. We will have to come again when the weather is warmer.
