A Gypsy Life For Me

Firstly, sorry couldn't post yesterday unavoidable interruption to power supply due to storm!

Anyway, the house and caravan saga. House now sold and man pushing to move in wants a date so we start looking for a caravan. Didn't realize there were so many different types having never had one before. Finally settled on a very nice one, one previous owner an immaculate Swift 500. What swung it for us is that it has a permanent double bed at the back so no making/un-making beds every day! Also makes it quicker to get into bed if you know what I mean? Paid for it along with all the extras you need to caravan, spare wheel, battery,water pump,water carriers,spare bulbs,towing stabiliser etc etc you get the idea? Very nice man delivered it to our house. Now we have to rush round to find somewhere we can pitch it for 2 or 3 months. House all sold, signed for and most important we got the money!! Moved out to a small site based at a farm. Owner very helpful and it only a fiver a week, all this and no mortgage should have done this years ago. Furniture in storage and like us just waiting for the final signing date to be agreed for place in France then we say goodbye to England and hello to France. Now where can I get some wood for my campfire and hay for the horse.. Sorry dreaming again. Still working but not really interested anymore, we just want to be gone. A new life beckons.........
