We'd been talking over the last few weeks about how long it is since we've had chance to stay overnight in our camper van, not having had either the time or the opportunity with being too busy doing other things.
Not this weekend!
I sent DH a text asking him to plug the van in to the electric to get the fridge cooling down, and he packed most of the stuff while I helped my friend and then picked DD up from work and took her to the train station for her train at 5.15pm.
By 6.30pm I was driving myself, DH and both dogs away from home and off up north to find somewhere to stay for the night in the van. We headed up towards Sedbergh and found a lovely, quiet spot to park up. Within 10 minutes we had tea on the go - steak and chips!
What a lovely night it turned out to be too - we had a lovely sunset and it was so peaceful.
This morning, after a lovely breakfast, we headed off up the hill towards Lunds (near Dent). The signpost said 1 3/4 miles. I'm not convinced as it felt like a lot longer! (see my walks page for some photos).
After getting stuck in quite a bit of traffic heading south, we finally got back home where I've managed to cook a chicken for tea and make a banana and walnut cake (very yummy) and both dogs are now worn out and fast asleep!
What a weekend!! Not what either of us was expecting. I think you can safely say it was a spur of the moment decision to make the most of an opportunity!
