Spread over many years and places, this is us doing what we've talked about forever. We don't like to call it retirement, we're just taking our long overdue gap years.

The Long Termers
So what is it with this. It's a strange one because I never gave any thought to the fact that living on a campsite for some is what they do! I knew there were people who stayed for a few weeks, but we are now in the realm of the Long Termer. These folk have given it all up wherever they came from and have set up, lock stock and lounge chair in the sun in Benidorm.
As a wee aside here, I can't wait to get to Vegas, as I hope it will outshine Beni. I have my doubts, but we will see.
Back to the matter at hand. We have real 'trailer' folk here, salt of the earth, wine for breakfast kinda people. Not that there's anything wrong with wine for breakfast you understand, but for me it's a holiday thing rather than a way of life!
Then there's the gossip. It's fun being a newbie. One of those vanners that pop into everyone's life for a short period of time, so that they can offload all the dirt in the comfort of knowing you'll be gone soon. Peyton Place eat your heart out!
Reg came back from hospital today. Unexpected to all and sundry. He was greeted like a war warrior, where in reality, he had been away to dry out!!
I can see a hundred reasons why life on the road is an experience and an education, but I can also see that living in a place like 'The Camp' in the sun, where wine is cheaper than water and the sun shines almost every day, can be detrimental to one's health.
