We stayed at Budgewoi Holiday Park from Boxing Day to January 4th 2016. The park is covered in lots of trees which provide cool shade during the day and the sites are large and grassy. It is on the lake, and was perfect for our recently purchased Old Town canoe. Boo Boo wasn’t too keen … More Budgewoi for xmas
We attended our first vintage caravans meet up in Shellharbour last weekend. It was wonderful checking out the other caravans. So many shapes, sizes and ages. Some like to keep their vans completely original, others like to update them. Everyone has them because its fun. Cubby houses for grown ups, I say. And here’s Lucy, … More Vintage Caravans Meet Up in Shellharbour
My darling sister-in-law and sweet friend, Vivien, took her life on Sunday 2 August. I write about Vivien on my other blog Every Cloud has a Silver Lining. Suffice to say, the last few weeks have been a traumatic and profoundly sad time for the Robson family. After the funeral, Justin and I grabbed Lucy, … More Canowindra Calling
I thought it was cold, but I didn’t know it was THAT cold. We found out after we got home that we had experienced the coldest weather in 60 years during the weekend we headed to Shellharbour. We’re selling our VW Golf now that we have a new Subaru Forester SUV to tow the caravan. … More Chilly weekend in Shellharbour
I was scheduled to do a presentation for my work to a forum in Newcastle on a Monday so decided to make a holiday out of it and take Little Lucy on her first trip. After Justin practiced reversing and parking for a few minutes, we headed off on the Saturday morning in his old … More First outing with Lucy at Stockton Beach, Newcastle
Little Lucy is in the repair shop. Justin was tinkering around underneath and wanted to replace the brake pads. Well, it went downhill from there. Once the body of the van was lifted off the chassis, a thorough investigation was done. The result was, not only do the brake pads need to be replaced, but … More Where’s Lucy? Bring my baby home.
We took her out for the first time, and she told us what she would like her name to be. It was Lucy, short for Lucille, because I like Lucille Ball in the Long Long Trailer so much. At 53 years of age, she feels like a friend I haven’t seen in ages. She’s needed … More Lucy it is then
I had enormous fun on the weekend decorating my new 1962 Sunliner Caravan. It reminded me of when my sister Donna and I were little, we played a game called ‘houses’. We would each take a room of the house – usually the lounge room or one of the bedrooms – and pretend it was … More Playing ‘house’
She’s a little beauty. Needs a bit of work, my husband says, “but I’ve got lots of plans for her”. Buying her was not without its challenges. My husband is prone to ask me sensible questions like, “Where are we going to store it?”, “We don’t have a car that will pull it!” Of course, … More She’s mine
I’ve been cyber stalking people with vintage caravans for a few years. I’m not the type to have hobbies or obsessions, but something about vintage caravans brings out the passion in me for nostalgia, the good old days and harking back to an era in time that was slower than today, without the bulk of … More Wanted: dreams to come true
