Oh and if travelling out via Harwich to Hook of Holland worth looking duty free whilst you wait 3 x 1 litre spirits £22 - beer looked cheep too.
Took van over on ferry to IOW having a fantastic time eating and drinking too much !!
Parked up in a Bristol business park waiting for Green Flag! We were on our way to Devon for a week’s holiday when the clutch went on the M5. 
We’re on holiday in Cornwall, staying on a CL site at Gurland Farm near Sennen Cove. Basic site, but has a toilet and a shower. Great view of the sea and coast. A very relaxed few days. Starting the journey home tomorrow via a night stop in Tintagel - spaces permitting.
We took a day trip out yesterday to Land’s End via Sennen Cove and Penzance.
When we retire we hope it’s by the sea! So chilled out now.

Now in Bruges (Camping Memling - based on some recommendations on here).
Wet drive from Netherlands - but sun out now that we got here.
There are a few transporters next to us (including uk) - so that’s nice - Hi if one of them is you (ours is the Acapulco blue one).
Forgot a photo as now that is the currency of this site - so added.

Feel for you mate but we've driven to Dorset safto and it's pee'd it down all afto....small consolation I know .Parked up in a Bristol business park waiting for Green Flag! We were on our way to Devon for a week’s holiday when the clutch went on the M5.
A couple of days late reporting in, we spent 3 nights in the midlands at Clent Hills C&C Club site. Smallish site but well maintained, modern clean facilities and friendly staff. We took the young granddaughter with us and set off from home straight to Cadbury's World. Haven't been there in over 20 years and it's changed a bit. Used to be very factory tour oriented but now is more entertainment focused. Was very good, but they no longer pile free chocolate bars on you at several points around the tour.
From there to the campsite via the Swallows Nest pub not far away for a nice meal. We were allocated a gravel pitch adjacent to the childrens play area, then spent the early evening assembling the awning while granddaughter scootered round the site making friends with any other children she could find.
Second day we set off for the Black Country Living Museum. Big site with lots of historic stuff to discover. Granddaughter wasn't impressed being told she was just the right size to have been able to start a career as a sweep climbing up chimneys in the bad old days. She really enjoyed the vintage fairground. Dinner at the other pub in the village, the Sun, all good.
Next day we all went to Dudley Castle and Zoo. The whole thing is built on quite a steep hill but fortunately they have one of those little road train things that will take you up to the castle at the top, allowing you to enjoy looking at all the animals while walking downhill. Everything appeared to be well designed with the animals' welfare in mind, large enclosures not cages. Went back to the Swallows Nest for another good meal.
The following morning was spent packing up, and we had the rare opportunity to fold away a dry awning. Granddaughter said goodbye to all her new friends and we hit the long slow traffic queues along the M5 and M6, getting the little one back to her mum by early afternoon.
Apologies for not having taken any pictures...
