New stuff........Xmas come early?!?!
Howdy folks.
Just wanted to share a couple pics with you, of our new "holiday home" 90 minutes up the road from us. (I guess our American friends would call it a trailer - to us Brits, it's a static caravan, sounds much better, I reckon!!)
Also in the pic is my new car, a Honda Cr-V ~ p/t 4by4, and probably the most comfortable car I've ever owned.

This is only part of the view we get from the "front" window..... we'll be getting some decking put up in the spring, so it'll be 'Margarita's on the porch' for us next summer!!

Last one for the moment....... I only resized these four!!
This is just one of the wild birds I've seen within ½ a mile of where the 'van is.... me and the dogs were walking up the hill, when this bog boy just appeared on a thermal coming off the side of the hill..... isn't he a beauty?
I'll try and get some others re-sized, if anyone's interested, plus look out some more.
Ciao for now!

Everyone needs a "get-away" place, and this one looks good.
Was that a goshawk?
Neighbours? No, not asking whether you get Australian TV.
