Difficult to beat these really cold days in the run up to Christmas!!

The ice never left the puddles, even the birds are staying in the hedgerows and yet all day there has been been a brilliant blue sky with non-stop sunshine. Essex has its critics but I feel we are doing better than Scotland on the weather front and I will happily put up with the constant Towie criticism!!

I have read a lot of praise for The Caravan Club’s annual booking day on Wednesday of this week and I can join in that praise. I wanted to get four bookings in on very specific dates in 2012 and by 10.30am I had all four – at Chatsworth, Broadway, Houghton Mill and Baltic Wharf.
