    Thank you so much :)

    We made it safely. It's very wet!

    Smalls are just eating breakfast before we go for a walk. They also want to watch the show at lunchtime.

    Today we also need to walk out of site and find a supermarket as the on site shop is extortionate.

    Hope you all have a lovely Sunday

    Hi WB :) Hope you're all having a great time. On site shops are very expensive. I can buy a box of ice-creams for less than the price of one at the shop on our site :eek: xx

    Evening

    Thank you all :)

    We are having a lovely time and the weather today has been wonderful. I have broken my phone screen :( I have no idea how it's happened. It's even in a case now. Really not happy!

    We've had some wonderful walks out. Visited a slate museum that was amazing and it's free entry.

    The sites wonderful although everything costs so much :o Tea walking off is a good idea but it's miles to a shop :o

    We are just having dinner at the van then going to go and watch some of the entertainment.

    Hope you're all having a lovely break
