The great thing about caravans is they are on wheels! Nick, our man with a digger who is going to help put the drains in, well maybe more accurate to say who I am going to help put the drains in, came to get stuck in. When we looked at everything and after some creative thinking it was impossible for him to get the mini digger in the right place to start the drain run. Even after removing the awning, the caravan was just going to be in the way. His solution was to move it to his farm up the road! So I packed up and he organised his brother with a very large quad bike to tow the caravan the half mile to his yard.
My face must have been a picture when they turned up with a quad bike but it worked and in less than 5 mins it was all attached and on its way. Sadly it was all so quick I didn't take a photo! I will try to get a few when they take it back next week. It has been different being on the farm, for a start the caravan is level and that makes everything seem so much better! I hope when we return it back home we can get it nicely set up on a level. Nick was able to connect up the electric hookup and I filled the water store, so all good to go! I have a barn with cows in on one side and a stable on the other. There is Davy the rescued race horse in the field who likes to chew the wooden fence and run around neighing and one of the cows is waiting to have her calf any day. They have two dogs both who seem very friendly and luckily have seen me chatting with Nick as he tells me they can be great guard dogs when uninvited guests turn up!
