Zebedee has been to Sidmouth

As we weren't able to load Zeb last night, we finished this morning before heading about 15 miles from home to stay at Putt's Corner Caravan Club Site.  We had visited this site with our caravan over twenty years ago before we moved to Devon, but it was our first time with a campervan.  We just wanted an overnight stay to see if we needed to buy anything before heading to Cornwall next weekend for our holiday.

There was plenty of choice of pitches when we arrived and we chose one not too from the facilities block.  Although we have a shower in Zeb we don't plan on using it, firstly because it's tiny and secondly we would need to ensure it was completely dry to avoid damp problems.  It's far easier to use the showers on site.

We spent time on Saturday afternoon making sure we knew how to use the heater, both for water and room temperature, as well as the gas hob and fridge.  After a long day we settled down for a quick tea of bread and cheese - with a celebratory bottle of wine too! 

It was lovely to have the fixed bed and not to have to change the van from day to night mode and then back again in the morning.  The bed was also very comfy and we slept well.  It poured with rain overnight and it was good not to have to think about returning home with a wet canvas roof and needing fine weather to dry it.

Sunday morning was spent looking where were were going to store things for our main holiday and enjoying being in our new campervan.  We had a short walk around the site as we feel we will return to the site again, especially on weekends where Steve can't take any time off for us to travel further afield.
