A lovely weekend

On August 7th 2010, I married the man I'd waited a long time to meet. I know it's a cliche, but it really was the best day of my life. 

A year on, we decided we'd spend the day at a VW show. It's probably not something many people would choose for their anniversary, but with our love of classic VWs and our lack of money, it seemed a good choice for us.

So on Saturday afternoon, we packed up Bella the campervan, and headed to the Norfolk Broads to Clippesby Hall Campsite. It was our first visit here, and as they were quite full, they said they'd squeeze us in. I was quite worried we'd be packed in close to other campers, and was not really sure what to expect. I needn't have worried, as when we got there, we had a very spacious pitch in a beautiful wooded area on what was the best campsite we have ever camped on. 

On Sunday, our anniversary, we woke up early to the sun shining, and opened our cards from each other, and from family and friends. After a fried breakfast cooked in the campervan, we headed off to White Noise VW Show.

It's at shows like this where I wish that we had a nice interior & upholstery so we could enter the Show & Shine with a fair chance of winning. Unfortunately, I don't think the van will ever be show winning quality. It doesn't make us stop planning to spend more money on making the interior nice though, and this weekend have been making a mental list of things to do next. I guess we'll never have a really nice home, but a great van instead! 

Looking forward to staying at this lovely campsite again, hopefully for a bit longer next time so that we can explore the Norfolk Broads, and the Norfolk coast.
