    Happy New Year guys! Great solo first camp of 2025 David! Everywhere glistening in the frost! Aaaww Roxy have fun at a doggy swimming class after an early morning frosty walk with Rachel! Looking forward to your 2025 adventures and hope our paths cross and we finally get to meet you! 👍

      Hi guys, we will meet you this year for sure! We were so close last year @ Whitby
      Roxy loves the swimming pool but we would both have preferred to have been away but never mind my van was mega important
      We will see you this year (sounds like a threat 😂😂)

      Happy new year! Spotted a window in the weather and thought it was an opportunity too good to miss, was pleased to get back home before the snow though. All the very best for 2025, hopefully catch you somewhere in the year! David & Rachel ❤️

    Exactly 5 miles from out house, so a place I know well but never been inside the church before, which did look nice. Been a while since I was in the George and Dragon and both pubs always had a good rep for food, so I would have saved the pot noodle. Never been in (what used to be called Burtree Caravans), for food before but that breakfast looked top notch, cheers Alan

      We used to live in School Aycliffe, not too far away, used to like the Cumby Arms when that was open also - You're right I should have gone to one of the pubs for tea, with. the change of plans with Rachel, I had decided not to go back out but in hind sight, it would have been a good idea, especially if the food is like it used to be! The breakfast was great, well worth checking out. Thanks for the comment and all the very best, David & Rachel 👍

      I love winter because you can wack the heating on and get all cosy but I do like summer too to sit outside. Certainly wouldn’t be sitting outside today - it’s Baltic

    Happy new year David Rachel and Roxy I bet it was great to get away in the van looks like you’ve had a great time and good weather as well!
    I’ve had some interesting sat nav journeys as well best of which was near Pitlochry where I needed up going through a game estate on unmade roads and was looking out for game keeper 😂😂 looks a lovely location and very peaceful but just the thing for a break away all the best to you all Daniel

      I’m glad it’s not just our Sat nav- it takes the mick out of us! In fact I now also put the destination on my phone just in case! Technology!

    Thirty odd years ago we stayed in our caravan at John and Marjorie Spinks farm, the highest place in Heighington and were parked adjacent to the characterful crew yard.

    Note on sat nav's using post codes. Post codes were implemented by Royal Mail and are based on most efficient "Postman / woman WALKING routes" for mail deliveries to individual addresses. They will sometines use pedestrian "cut thoughs" on housing estates.

      Happy new year Malcolm - I’m not sure why I followed the sat nav as I knew it was down hill, I just thought it had found a short cut, but with there being only a few properties I wonder if it had a number of different routes in. Not the first time it’s caught me out! All the best, David & Rachel 👍

      Following Sat Nav can be a disaster. The site looked nice and so did the village. What a lovely treat for Roxy. We’ve also done our first night away in 2025 when we stayed there over new year. Take care Gill

      It’s a cute village with 2 good pubs! 💗 I was gutted I couldn’t make it but getting my work van back was a priority 😡 and I even missed out on breakfast 🍳 but I did get to take Rox swimming 🏊
      Hope you guys had a great Christmas and new year

    Happy new year 🙂 Driven through Heighington loads of times, did not know they was a site there, looked pretty good as well 🙂 Shame Rachel did n't make it, although The Barking Lot looked awesome, gonna have to take Tyler there 🙂 Kimberely Caravans do gorgeous food as well, well worth going there just for that 🙂 Reminds me, they are having a event on 11-19th January, so we will there, free food 🙂 Take care and all the best Trev Debz and Tyler

      Hi Trev it’s a fab site for the village / pubs.
      My van for work was the priority and it took longer than expected and by that time it had gone freezing 🥶
      Kimberley is fab! I’m 😡 I missed the breakfast 🍳

    Hiya David Rachel and Roxy. Yeah a bit different but enjoyed it. What did we do before sat nav that is the question.Hope you had a good New Year. The site looked spot on and a good find. Is the tomato man ok send him our regards. It's been snowing here on and off for 13 hrs now and at the moment everything is well covered in snow. Looking forward to the next one.
    Till the next time you take care.

    There's a Heighington in Lincolnshire too (although it's pronounced"Hay-ington"). Make sure you get the right one! 😂

    • @LeisureBit
      @LeisureBit  16 днів тому

      😂😂 we quite often have to stop and check the pronunciation
      I quite surprised the sat nav didn’t take us to Lincolnshire 😂😂

    Hello. Happy New year. Hope you enjoyed your Xmas with Rachel's Dad. We were just quiet with Bev's parents, then at home on our own. Back to work 6th January. Last year then retire, 60. I'd snow foam my van if it's dirty then use Autoglym ceramic shampoo wash. Hope you are well. Do u think u may come to Norfolk broads this year. The village you stayed looked nice, friendly people up there. Take care. Love to all 3 of u. Best wishes David and Beverley Norfolk
