Looking forward to a week camping in our new to us caravan
A stately lady, vintage 1996, the odd wrinkle here and there and still not sure yet what works and what doesn’t 
Looking forward to meeting a certain Mr Em, a stalwart of the Dandy Forum…
He’s the one with the specs
and meeting up again with two lovely people Pat & Tony
We Spent a lovely day here together
All packed up now and ready to go......Look out Mr Em We Are On Our Way
* * *
I had hoped for an easy journey, alas it was not meant to be for my first trip towing the Tin Tent
We reached Hawick
ROAD CLOSED AT MOSS PAUL
"Oh <>@|||^***"
Diverted and still not sure where we went but finally emerged at Canonbie, everything was pretty straight forward from there on. We found the site very easily, because of the diversion "Mr Em" had arrived before us, not what I had planned, the poor farmer was not armed for this larger then life character and looked a little shell
shocked by the time we arrived
My first encounter with Em was a near death experience... Just about Hugged to Death
Oh! But It Was Worth The Risk
* * *
Finally we both got settled
And What A View
Although the weather was not always as good as this all the time, good or bad you could watch it rolling in over the lakes in the distance
There are some lovely old shops in Penrith and I wished I had taken more photographs
Unfortunately SAINSBURYS
seem to be digging up the center of the town to establish what appears to be a SUPER Market, I do hope this is not going to detract from the charm of the old town
Another highlight of the week.
Pat & Tony visited on Friday, lovely to see them again and once again Tony thanks for all the tips on the caravan, just about got everything working now :-))

Stopped for a Thirst Quencher, Can't remember the name of the pub but it was in Lazonby
Mr Em left us on Thursday but what a great week it was, we really did miss him
and are looking forward to meeting up again.
Wish it could be soon than later
