Oh dear! I used to get dragged up north to look after my sister's brood when she went away. They weren't too bad, but they did like to argue and wrestle a lot, which was a long way out of my comfort zone as I was used to an only child who hadn't really been exposed to such ebullient family life. It was an experience for him as much as me!I'm afraid Bank Holidays are my worst nightmare. Last May my Aunt insisted I help babysit my cousins offspring whilst they went to a wedding overnight. I left London for South Devon at 4am on the Saturday and it still took till 10.30 to get there! On the way back on the Monday I left at 8am and it took me 10 hours back to London.....so I'm afraid the Cali stayed firmly in the drive this time! Also could only find 1 campsite in the whole if East Anglia with a space and it had no hook up and the teenager refused to go. So spent the time with her putting her portfolio if films together to re-apply for sixth form at the BRIT.
Sounds wonderful. Enjoy!We spent the weekend at a fantastic family party in Wells parked up in my cousins garden overlooking open countryside. It was the first time we have slept in the van for nearly 12 months following a harrowing year when my elderly Mum broke her hip and sadly popped off.
We are just packing the van for 10 days in Brittany, and so, so happy to be back on the road!
