Family camping near Glastonbury, Wells and Shepton Mallet, Somerset, UK
Where did the Spring go?
It seems only five minutes since we were opening the gates and welcoming our first visitors. Now the season is in full swing, with preparations being made for the influx of our first Glastonbury Festival at Greenacres.
It has been a wonderful blend of feast and famine. We’ve had incredibly busy times around the two Bank Holidays when the site was stuffed to bursting and the air filled with the excited sounds of children playing. We have also appreciated the quieter times mid-week, with just a handful of campers helping us enjoy the tranquillity of our surroundings. I’m really undecided which I like the most!
Our own “re-birth” project has been the construction of our new house on the site of the former bungalow. Things are going very well and we can now see the final shapes of all our rooms as the timber stud walls are all in place and plaster boarded. The roof tiling is complete and the last windows are being manufactured now. Plumbers and electricians descended on us last week, while one of the window fitters loved the place so much he came back to camp with his family!
Maybe we won’t make Grand Designs, but we’re still pretty chuffed.
