The best caravan park around!

Advantages: Brand new caravans that are well kept.
Disadvantages: As with all caravans a little on the pricey side.

...Apologies in advance, this is long review! After seeing a report on my local news the other night I thought I would review the one thing that, over the last 5-6 years of my life has been a constant, come rain or shine, recession or boom we have visited and stayed at this particular place as our holiday home of choice. The particular report I was referring to earlier, was the fact that out of all the poor companies in my local area (I live in the Midlands, we are one of the worst hit areas for redundancy?s), the caravan companies were flourishing. Now as I have already stated, we (myself, my husband, my two children and various other members of my family, depending who is available on holiday week!), have stayed at this particular caravan site for a while. The caravan site in question is ?Tomlinsons caravan and leisure park...

Cartwheels at the Caravan in Yazd

Advantages: Plenty of space and surprisingly quiet setting
Disadvantages: Outside the town so you'll need transport to get around

...On a group tour of Iran in 2006 we spent two nights at the Caravan, a large hotel located a few miles outside the ancient desert city of Yazd. The Caravan is close to a large but surprisingly quiet road and takes the form of lots of small white single-storey apartment-style chalets set back from the road and surrounded by gardens. Ciao have done a great job of finding a good photo that shows what these look like. There was nothing else anywhere near the hotel so be aware that once you are there, unless you have transport, there's nothing to see or do nearby. Pulling off the highway from the airport, the driveway brought us past a large building that housed the reception, the restaurant and other shared facilities and then to the accommodation area. Our tour leader hopped off the bus to go and get the keys whilst we unloaded the bags...

The Simplicity of the Nokia 3500 Classic.

Advantages: A SImple easy to use mobile phone. Great 2MP Camera
Disadvantages: Phone bills.

...I must say owning a mobile phone now a days has become an essential necessity for most, I dare leave home without it and thankfully gone are the days of carrying 10p's or 20p's in your pockets for the red telephone box. 'Nokia 3500 Classic'------------------------------------------- I have owned a few mobile phones in my time, which include a Motorola,Philips, and now the 'Nokia 3500 Classic' which I've had for just over a year now.. Firstly may I point out that the 'Nokia 3500 Classic' is an extremely well made,robust mobile phone, just.the feel and touch of it shouts out quality. On most modern up-to-date mobile phones now there's usually more features than the average pay-as-you-go user like myself could possibly need such as Bluetooth, ,MP3 player,Video recorder,3G etc but having said that the 2 MP (mega Pixel...

Caravanning with a difference!

Advantages: plenty to do on and off site, entertainment every night
Disadvantages: amusements were expensive

...Perran Sands Haven Site was ideally situated in Perranporth, Cornwall and had its own beach - accessed from a steep hill and had no car park near the beach. However, it was excellent for body-boarding and we enjoyed this for several hours. The only down side was the climb back up !! There was no life guard - but we did got out of season, so this was to be expected. The caravan we used was a Silver type which came with duvets, microwave and had a gas fire in the living room. The kitchenette was quite big and we had 2 toilets, 1 with a shower and the caravan had 3 bedrooms. On site was 2 amusement arcades, a Burger King, 3 or 4 bars (we did not visit the Surf Rider to see what it contained), a mini supermarket and Crazy Golf and a ride which was similar to bumper cars but span you round and had lasers on it, which cost £1 a go...

Graeanfryn Farm in North Wales - camping and caravanning site

Advantages: Not too far from Portmadog, sandy beaches around 1 mile away, prices quite reasonable
Disadvantages: Toilets/showers could have been a lot cleaner, terrible Welsh weather, not much space on site

...Graeanfryn Farm I stayed here earlier this Summer holiday with my family. We had just bought a new touring caravan and this was the first place we tried it out in. We have been to many camping sites before we bought our new caravan, staying in a tent, but after freezing half to death and getting soaking wet (as well as having to listen to the whole sites arguments/ snoring etc through the thin fabric walls of a tent) too many times in our "waterproof" tent we'd just had enough, and decided a caravan would be better to suit our needs. Location Graeanfryn Farm is in Nefyn, we had stayed in this town before and that is why we choose to come to this site for our first trip in the caravan - if anything went wrong at least we knew the town quite well and wouldn't get lost on our way back home and also its a lovely place...

Overstone Caravan Park

Advantages: Very freindly clean site with good amenities.
Disadvantages: Only opens on a seasonal basis.

...For the past couple of years myself and the family have made frequent visits for short breaks to a lovely little caravan park in Northamptonshire, "Overstone". It's quite close for us but makes a nice change and is 100% enjoyable every time we go there, though in my case it's mostly the great fishing I enjoy. You can find Overstone caravan park in the village of Overstone, situated between Wellingborough and Northampton approximately 4 miles from the A14 making it easily accessible from almost every where. This quaint little site offers an outdoor swimming pool along with a pitch & put course and the usual play park area's for the kiddie's including a mini BMX track. On site there is a launderette, post office, cafe, hair dressers and a general store so you don't have to worry about running out of anything. There is also a club...

Two Caravans, Nine Immigrant Workers and One Dog

Advantages: Thought provoking, both funny and serious, compelling plot
Disadvantages: A couple of contrived moments in the plot, some inconsistencies in the narrative

...~~~The Setting~~~ This book was recommended to me when down the pub with three girl (see how young we are!!) friends. Two of the three had read Marina Lewycka's very popular, critically acclaimed and award winning debut novel 'A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian' and had thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the three had started to read 'Two Caravans' and the rest of us decided that this would be a good first book for a 'book club' (between you and me, this is a means for us to legitimise a regular girl's evening down the pub). 'Tractors' (if I may use this as short hand) has 'its extraordinary distinctiveness, wit and heart' to thank for its success. I expected this and more of 'Two Caravans' given the recommendations and plaudits for the author. This book is slapstick funny and darkly sinister in turns. It has as its backdrop...

The Classic Nokia 3500

Advantages: Cheap, Design, Useability,
Disadvantages: Camera not up to standard of others

...I have recently purchased the Nokia 3500 Classic (in pink) and thought I'd give you my first thoughts and feelings on the phone. Hopefully I wont have to change my opinions as the phone gets older! The 3500 is a well made phone, and reminds me slightly of the iPhone in appearance (but at a fraction of the cost!) I bought mine from Carphone Warehouse for £69.99, although I did have to purchase £10 credit. The features the 3500 boasts include Bluetooth, MP3 player, Video recorder, PTT (push to talk - like a walkie talkie) and 2MP camera. The quality of the camera is not quite as clear as previous Sony Ericssons I've had - but it does the job when you're on the go. The simple layout of the 3500 is very simple to use and understand - which I think is common with Nokias. The screen resolution is quite low compared to other phones...

Penstowe Caravan park

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Site Management

...Do you want a clean, well run, well staffed caravan / campsite in beautiful Cornwall. If the answer is yes then this is most definitely NOT the place for you and your family. Penstowe has no atmosphere and no staff, don't get me wrong there is a woman that can be occasionally found, but everyday you are greeted by a hand written sign on the office/reception door telling you of her unavailability. Oh, but I mustn't forget her husband who is on hand to shout at you if you come looking for any assistance.The toilet/shower block was not cleaned for three days. And I don't mean not cleaned properly, I mean NOT CLEANED! False nails sitting beside one of the sinks for this period was testament to this. Build up of human excrement, rubbish and bugs provided further proof. The fact there was no soap provided in the ladies toilets for these three...
