Howdy folks.

Just wanted to share a couple pics with you, of our new "holiday home" 90 minutes up the road from us. (I guess our American friends would call it a trailer - to us Brits, it's a static caravan, sounds much better, I reckon!!)

Also in the pic is my new car, a Honda Cr-V ~ p/t 4by4, and probably the most comfortable car I've ever owned.

Looks nice, DM. Love the picture. The fading? sunlight and all. Looks very peaceful.

Thaks db..... yes, it is very quiet and peaceful, which is one of the reasons we bought it......

...... the dogs like it too, but only Riley in this shot!!

This is only part of the view we get from the "front" window..... we'll be getting some decking put up in the spring, so it'll be 'Margarita's on the porch' for us next summer!!

Last one for the moment....... I only resized these four!!

This is just one of the wild birds I've seen within ½ a mile of where the 'van is.... me and the dogs were walking up the hill, when this bog boy just appeared on a thermal coming off the side of the hill..... isn't he a beauty?

I'll try and get some others re-sized, if anyone's interested, plus look out some more.

Ciao for now!

Everyone needs a "get-away" place, and this one looks good.

Was that a goshawk?

Neighbours? No, not asking whether you get Australian TV.

Nice to have a get away that's not too far away.

Ohhhhhhhh...ahhhhhhhhh!

Bog boy? Indigenous to? Tell me more!

Nice digs sweety! Need help building the deck? We'll need help with our pool deck this spring as well. You wash mine...I'll wash yours! Um...not the topic, eh?

Hmmm, the view from your window makes me think it would be a perfect place for a Pixie's Jamboree. :D

Thanks everybody - glad you like our little hide-away!!

Oldfart/dicksbro - I'm fairly sure the bird is a buzzard; there are a lot of them round that area, and we saw a breeding pair back in the summer a few miles away from our old caravan!

Ladies - it is a lovely spot, I'm just sorry my photography skills don't match up to showing you just how lovely! :( (Lixy - that was meant to say "big boy", as you well know. Come here and be spanked!! :devil: )

Aqua - I'd love to think of it like that, but what superhero takes his other-half along?!?! :D

Steph - the car, too, is lovely, to drive and to take to the fuel pump!!

Thanks both..... they are very well marked, we think, and also (slowly!!) getting more obedient, too!!

TT....... Steph has first dibs, if I remember correctly, but they're not going anywhere!!
