Great read, thanks for sharing. very much looking forward to the next instalment.
Although very different in most ways our childhoods were a little similar in some, my mother, being a bit of a hippy at heart, spent many years travelling. over the years I have lived/travelled in trailers/caravans, tipis, yurts and showman's wagons (horse drawn). By age 10 had lived in every county in the uk and quite a few in Europe, France, Spain and Germany.
I remember when we were 'parked up' on a beach in North Wales called Afon Wen, it was next to a Butlins, think I was about 7 so you can imagine the fun we had there! At the time we were in a converted lovely old 60's ambulance. what made me mention this is there was a semi permanent Irish traveller site next to us and I became firm friends with two brothers, who's names escape me now, I will have to ask my mother. They frowned on the 'new age travellers' and the adults didn't socialise but as I was so young my friendship was tolerated. when the tide was out we used to clamber up over the rocks and follow the coast round for about 20mins and then climb our way up and over onto the field, over a fence and bingo we were in butlins! don't know if you have ever been, its a pay on the door and everything free inside deal so we would spend a few hours in and out of the pool and on the rides then quickly run back through the field and make our way home before we were trapped by the tide! unfortunately due to a rather nasty series of events we were not at that spot for very long, but ill stop now as iv already gone on longer than intended.
Sorry I was only going to say a few words but so many memories flooding back.
Very much looking forward to what happened next for you, don't keep us waiting too long : )
