Our latest trip with Martha has been a few nights to visit our families and deliver Christmas presents.
On Tuesday we drove to my mother's house in Rugeley for a quick visit before heading to Spring Paddock Caravan Site. Although the morning had been dry, it started to rain again in the afternoon - thankfully it didn't start until we had set up.
We had a lot of rain overnight and woke to a damp morning on Wednesday. After breakfast we drove to see my mother and sister, leaving mid afternoon and driving back to site. Early evening my niece came to collect us from the site and we went to the Chetwynd Arms, spending the evening with my niece, her partner, youngest son and his girlfriend. After a most enjoyable few hours we had a lift back to the site.
On Thursday we drove to Stanmore Hall Touring Park, calling at the care home where Steve's father lives to see him and Steve's mother. We stayed longer than planned so we could see Steve's brother and didn't get to the site until late afternoon. It was getting dark when we set up, as well as raining again so after showers we settled down for the evening.
We woke to a sunny morning on Friday and drove to see Steve's mother before returning to the care home. As we had spent so long at the home the previous day we left at lunchtime to return to the site as we wanted to have a bit of 'us time' and a walk.
Sunday was our time to travel home. We had planned on having a few days at another site, but as the weather forecast wasn't too good for the following week we decided to go home instead.
