We’re camping on the Isle of Wight whilst working on Adrians house. Yesterday was a day of realisation for me; I don’t understand caravaners.

The majority of people with caravans here have a satellite for TV, full on table and chair sets, microwaves, gas “barbecues”, washing airers and toilets.

Why if you’re going camping do you need such facilities!? We have a tent, gas stove and sleeping bags. The biggest luxury being an inflatable matress for comfort.

The worse thing so far is the northener across the hedge with a flag pole and flag (which lights up!) and solar garden lights. Why not bring the kitchen sink and shed next time?
