My Diary Camping in the New Forest

2 minute read time.

Well we have had the time of our lives at Lymington C&CC holiday site.

irst though I had a surprise for Ray and on the way to Winchester I just said turn left -turn left again and hey presto, he was well surprise as we stopped at Intech Science College.

I recommend it to all that are interested in science as it was great for children as they carried out experiments.

The best was the Planetarium where we went into space and into a Spacecraft. awesome.

We carried onto Brockenhurst and stayed for the night in a 600 [itch site amongst the ponies.

As we had a walk and an Ice Cream we sat by Lymington river and just enjoyed the sunshine.

Off next day to Lymington and settled in with all our friends --lots of hugs and kisses something we do well in camping clubs.

We parked in a circle and got the chairs out as soon as possible and caught up on all the news.

Now this is where I have to thank Dennis and Kevin because Kevin was determined to let Louis of the lead and let him play with the other dogs.

I was scared stiff but Kevin said if I didn't he would so I shut my eyes and let Louis go expecting a big fight but no he rand around and played all day with his new friends.

It would seem it is the lead that is making him feel trapped and once it is off that s it he is a happy boy.

He was off lead all week and he had fun.

After all our friends left to go home and some back to work we went to the IOW on the Monday as foot passengers with a very nice couple we had met-Janet and John.

We travelled around the island on the bus and had a great time and got home late but happy.

Next day it had rained but got better as we walked around Lymington.

A lovely surprise was Viv --who is in remission-- was there in the field and Mike came over to see us to say good morning, I went in with their M/Home and we had a lovely chat and then in the afternoon they came over to us.

Viv looks so well bless her.

The next day we travelled on the open top bus around the New Forest and found out some interesting bits about it all.

Well our week finished and we travelled to MCC meet at West malling to meet up with other friends there and to have a Barn Dance but it was to much for me as I came out with a cold --the first one since I was ill.

It hurts the chest and takes makes it harder to breath but I have enjoyed it never the less.

I just feel like old grumps!!!!

I was expecting an appointment for a scan on the doorstep but I have to get a blood first how annoying as I dont want anything to spoil the Aug 2nd appointment with the Oncologist.

But---Im in their hands.

    I'm sorry to hear you picked up a cold... must have been the grey weather.  The rally with the barn dance sounds great fun.... that's the one type of dance Mick will do!  We had a great time at the party we came back too, shame about the weather, but it looks like it is picking up again.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Just like you Mavis i never let my suzi off her lead when other dogs were about, but last week in the park i took a chance and she had a great time playing with about 4 dogs and followed one big dog everywhere ,she really took to him. So now she has made friends, so im glad i took the chance as im sure you are with your Louis. Hope you feel better soon.

    Love and Hugs Lucylee. xx
