In October we thought we would have one last outing of the year to celebrate Brian's 70th birthday, so chose Winchester Club Site. It was very wet and muddy on arrival and we had some downpours whilst we were there, but never mind we still managed to have a good time.
ver and lazed around.
Little did we know then that this was to be our last outing in Bertha. We had come to love her throughout the year even though we did not like to colour to begin with.
At the end of October we visited the Caravan and Leisure Show at the NEC in Birmingham, mainly to pick up one or two bits that we needed (mainly a new Porta Potti as ours was at least 20years old!). On arrival we obviously went to have a look at the new 2007 models - like you do. What a surprise, a new cream and brown range! We bumped in to our friendly salesperson Terry from Camping International who pointed out all the changes. We were very taken with the slightly larger model - the Pathfinder - particularly as it had it's very own toilet! Also an oven and blown air heating! What a dilemma...we went off to have lunch and a long discussion over coffee...went back to Terry to see what trade-in he would give us for our one-year-old Pullman...went away again to go over the finances....and hey presto the decision was made to upgrade. (On the proviso that I took as much temp work as I was offered during the winter months!)
Next year - 2007 couldn't come quickly enough...............watch this space
