My Week-End Breaks





I thought you may be interested in seeing where I go on my week-end and Summer breaks. We have a large 6 berth caravan sited in Wales where we go most week-ends in the Spring/Summer and most school holidays, 6 weeks in the Summer. It is our "Little Haven" and our pride and joy. We take our pets with us (including the tortoise lol) and it is a wonderful place for Bear Making! In fact most of my bears have been created here. We love it and so do the pets and the kids. Our pitch is a rather large pitch with a long gravel driveway, path, large lawn (needs work on), flower borders, a lovely rhododendrum in the centre, decking for sitting out in the sun, gate, driveway double gates, surrounded by a picket fence with a wicker type fence at the rear (in photo). The awning, which is attached to the caravan sits on decking with large rugs scattered around, table/chairs, sofa, tv etc and makes a lot more room for everyone. We travel there in my pride and joy, our Mitsubishi Shogun "Animal". Appropriate name for a car for us with all our beloved pets lol. I love that car!! She is a few years old now but so comfy and reliable. Our site is about an hour away from home, on a mountain in countryside, and is a lovely place to get away from the stresses and strains of everyday living.
Well, that's a big part of my life so I thought I would share my little getaway with you. It's where I'll be this week-end with my laptop and dongle in hand, and a bear or two of course!!
Hope you found it interesting!!

Bear In Progress 2

The Bear I Am Currently Working On! I Finally Managed To Photograph Today Albeit Not A Very Good Photo As It Is Very Dull Here Today. The Head Is The Base (Upside Down) With The Cotter Pin Sticking Out! Just Needs Limb Joints, Stuffing And His Little Face To Complete Him. He Has Taken Me Soooo Long Due To Other Comittments But I Will Hopefully Finish Him This Week Before I Go Off To My Caravan For A Week-End Break. If Not, I Will Take Him With Me And Finish Him There.
