Well, I made a bit of a mess up really cuz I booked to come on a camping and caravan club rally. Uh, it said it was at Upton. I thought it was going to be Upton on 7, so I paid for it and I didn’t bother to look where it was and it’s Oxley Upton, which is going down towards Bath somewhere around that area. Um, 70 mi from me house. I was I think it’ be going about 20, but it didn’t matter. It was a nice run in the camper. So, uh, yeah. So, it’s it’s Orcs Orsby Upton. I’m at the like the village or we got Skittles on tonight. Uh I think there’s a comedian on Saturday. I’m not sure if it’s me, but there’s a comedian and a buffet. Uh they got Easter stuff on. I’m going on Sunday, so I’m going somewhere else on Monday with me son. That’ll be on another video. Uh so, uh yes. So, I’ve got the two ebikes out and we’re shortly going to go for a ride round.

Now, me solar panel’s on the roof. It’s facing that way. Needs to be there. But uh uh but I’ve got a backup panel. So uh swing you around to me. As you know me reg. And sometimes you’ll go and you’ll say I want to park a certain way and they will say yeah. Okay. But here they want everyone in line which is fair enough. So I’ve just got the other panel out. It’s going to be a cloudy few days. I’ve got a generator. Yeah. So, I’m not sure if I said, but this is with a Gloucester DA. If you if you go to motor home or caravan, the best one to join is the camping and caravan club. There is others, but I find Yeah, they got loads of rallies on holiday sites. Don’t cost you a lot. Uh, they’re always friendly most of the time. All friendly people, apart from me. Anyway, join us on the little bike ride now. Catch you in a bit. Right, so this is the site. I’m just going to do you a little swing around from here. Uh there’s me down there with the solar panel on.

Couldn’t quite read, but we’re going to just have a little ride down. Check on rolling. Yeah, thanks for joy buildings. Hunter’s me down there. Uh, let’s just have a little ride around Park Street. This is Back Street. Looks like a It was a church or I think it’s been converted into a house by the looks of it. So, uh, yeah, nice little place. Uh, that’s St. John’s Street there. We’ll go down this way a little bit. Yeah. So, Olivia is on me vault electric bike. I’m taking that with me with my son next week. So, it’s a good little try out to make sure it’s all right. It’s handy. It folds up. You stick in the back of the car. Yeah, back street. I’ve seen a helicopter uh uh uh military one fly over. Uh might be able to hopefully if there’s any more I’ll get a a shot. So, we’re not going to go too far. We’ll go down here and come back up. I think just get a little shot of the views.

That’s a nice uh public footpath sign there. I say lovely view. Livia’s just gone for a walk, so I’m just waiting for her. Yeah, nice. Got a few blue bells each side here. I’m just looking. Uh I’m going to have a better look when I get in the camper if there is a blue bell wood, but I’m not sure. 7 minutes walking car or on me bike yet. I’ll check that out. But the weather’s not too promising. I haven’t checked the forecast, but uh doesn’t look too good. But we’re enjoying it. That’s what it’s all about. Getting away and enjoying yourself. So anyway, we’ll catch you in a bit. Little wall memorial. Wants a bit of a clean. If I was a bit new, I’d bring me jet wash tidied up. It’s a nice one. This is where we get our water for the campsite from Andy. And it’s only joking. I don’t know if it works or whether it’s for show. I’ll try it. Well, the answer is no, it don’t, but give it a try. Yeah. Greetings, folks. So, I’ve just come off the uh out the village. The chat was telling me there’s a wood with some blue bells, but uh I can’t I’ve rolled up here, but I can’t see see the wood, so I’m just heading back down. Got a pheasant. Just nipped in the uh edge there. Uh yeah, so just having a grit down here. He said there’s a pond. Well, I’ve turned it looks like it’s a pond with no water in. So, whether there’s another one, but uh it’s just a bit of a ride. It’s their first afternoon here. So, uh just come through here cuz it does say I’ll swing you around. It says uh Oh. I have to book to go in there. Baby’s gardens. So anyway, I’ll try and ask another local. But uh there is like um it looks like a pond at some stage or dried out. So whether he’s on about there, but that’ll do me. I’m going to head back to the uh campsite now. Yeah, Olivia’s gone ahead. So, uh, the gables on the left, nice colors just here on the right.
