Caravans.....

Went with Mum and Dad to Preston today looking for caravan stuff and ended up going round three caravan shops (okay someone’s going to get picky and point out that one of them is a motorcaravan dealers).

We saw a Lunar Zenith 4 (ie what we’re getting). It was last year's model and differs from the one we're getting in that they've redesigned the kitchen unit, and put in a different oven and draining board. It looks better and seems to give a lot more usable work surface. Mum and Dad were also pleased to see it as we've only seen the 5 berth and are buying the 4 berth. Fortunately it lived up to expectations so they don't need to cancel their order!

We also checked out the crockery there. We left Dad in the shop as security whilst Mum & I took two mugs into the caravan to see which went best with the colour scheme. Yes I know that’s sad but these things are important! Mum & I also bought some thinsulate gloves. As ever I can do the "ooh look someone's nicked my little finger trick" in them, but they don't half keep your hands warm.

It feels like we're actually getting a caravan now. Mum and Dad are trading in the motorcaravan on Tuesday and picking up a 2 berth loan caravan from the dealers to use until theirs has been manufactured (hopefully in early June), and at some point I'm going to learn how to tow. Now that will be worthy of a blog entry!
