Norden
Guess what, Marge has sneaked out again!
Despite it being the second week of November, the weather today has been remarkably mild.
As we journeyed south today to our beloved Dorset, the sun streamed through the semi-naked trees, their golden leaves fallen onto the ground beneath them creating a carpet of gold.
On the way to tonight's stop, we stopped to look at some camper vans, parking Marge a reasonable distance away, so not to hurt her feelings. She is a feisty thing, but not as young as she was, and a little lacking in power, but although we love her, we are tempted to buy bigger and slightly more powerful, however saying that she does everything we need, and has taken us to some great places this year. But we are just looking, no harm in that!
After realising what a bargain Marge was, we leave and head towards Poole to cast an eye over the outside of our rental properties, then move on down to Poole quay,
parking Marge in a normal car parking space, (another plus for her).
We take a walk to stretch our traveled legs. Across from the quay we check how many Sunseeker boats are being prepared for new customers, a touch of sadness as we realise it wasn't that long ago we were wowed by the size of one named 'King Power', it's owner also owned Leicester City football club.
From Poole, with the sky now inky blue, and Marge's headlights glowing as usual like candles, we headed to tonight's stop, The Halfway Inn at Norden between Wareham and Corfe, (I know we were only here three weeks ago).
Tonight we are not alone, for the first time, we are joined by another newer, smarter van, but it does not have the character of Marge. After a couple of drinks in the bar, it was back to the van for homemade chilli con carne.
What a life this campervanning is, let's hope the weather is kind over the next few months and we can continue our adventures. The forecast for tonight is rain, but we don't mind, the pitter patter of raindrops, whether we are in a tent or van we find soothing at night, also rain means a warmer night, and that's another recommendation for Marge, the smaller the van, the easier to keep cosy.
