How easy
was that? Getting to Birmingham and to
the exhibition centre was a piece of cake. We got up about 15 minutes before
our usual time and caught the slightly earlier train. We were quite early at
Euston for the fast train to Birmingham so in retrospect we could have actually
gotten up at our usual time, but if there had been any holdup we wold have
missed our connection. So we had time for hot chocolate and a sit down before
the train arrived.
The further
north we got the better the day became sunnier and a bit cooler. It seems odd
to write about it getting cooler the further north we go, but then lots of things
are topsy turvey here on this side of the world. It was nice to see the rural
scenery, even if it did flash by in bit of a hurry. Nice to be able to let the
eye wander into the distance, everything is close and cluttered in London What
we do notice is the that lots and lots and the houses look very samey and
without much colour. Just about everything is built of brick. And you get a bit
tired of looking at the same colour all the time.
There
was a shuttle bus from the station to the exhibition centre, which was unexpected
and welcome, cos we were pretty sure we were going to be on our feet all day,
and we were.
The camping
and caravan show was excellent and very well worth going, and we did walk our
feet off. We looked at so many campers, but ruled out lots pretty quickly
because they didn’t have a permanent made up double bed in the rear of the van.
Others we ruled out, even though they had the prerequisite bed, because the
layout just wasn’t right.
After a
lot of looking we narrowed our selection down to three very nice ones, and from
those three down to one. Which was, wouldn’t you know it, the most expensive
one. But the layout was excellent and the finishing was top notch.
So did
we buy one, no we didn’t, but boy it would have been good to have.
