My holiday always starts from when I leave home. I had arranged to meet my nephew in Burton upon Trent, on my way down south. We had a great catch up coffee and cake at Costa Coffee. Ady says Hi.
My camp on Rownham Services on the M27. It was very quiet on the car parking side on a Saturday night. There are quite a lot of lorries over there on the truck park. As it is so close to the docks of Southampton and Portsmouth it is a convenient place to overnight park for deliveries the next day. Docks work 24 hours seven days. I paid £13 to park here.
There were five of these big machines parked up overnight. Three of them were off early, gone before I had chance to get photo's of all of them. I had a chat to the driver of this one. Trucking talk of course, just like old times. Aren't they wonderful.
I got an earlier boat, so I waited for the one I had booked to come in.
Catch ya tomorrow. Toodle pip. ilona

It was good to chat with Ady. We are very much on the same wavelength.
DeleteOh great to see one of your nephews. Hi Ady 🤗. This is going to be an exciting trip!!! Car camping is a brilliant way to go on holiday and not break the bank. Thanks so much for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteMore pics and videos on their way.
DeleteThe ferry looks such fun. Was it expensive?
ReplyDeleteIt was around £200. You can check prices here.

Thank you, I wondered because you always mention the cost of parking which is quite low, but didn’t mention one of the most expensive costs - the ferry.
DeleteYou can't really compare the cost of running a ferry, with a piece of tarmac which allows car parking. I thought the ferry was quite reasonable. Although the space my car occupied was for a short period of time, when you take into account the hundreds of thousands of £'s it takes to run a ferry for a week.
DeleteLooks lovely Ilona. It's been some time since I went to the Island but I know it's lovey and you'll enjoy it. catch up when you get back. Enjoy. Briony x
ReplyDeleteI am at home now Briony. Will take a week to post all the photo's and upload the videos. Catch up soon.
DeleteAdy your nephew looks a cool dude bet he was pleased to see youx
ReplyDeleteWe usually communicate online, so it was nice to have a face to face chat. He is very much wide awake.
