The job we left behind

We used to own and run the camping site on St. Martin's which was part of a farm tenancy but 5 years ago decided to take early retirement.  At the same time we swapped houses with the new owners, Ben and Caroline Gillett, so that they live in the farmhouse and we now live in the converted barn which they used to occupy.
 


Things are going well for all of us but those who regularly visit the campsite will not be used to the extent of the pool which is currently filling a lot of the site.  We hope to have some dry weather before the holiday time starts at Easter!

Most visitors in the summer will not be surprised to see how deserted the campsite beach is at the moment.  We have traditionally taken our holidays in the winter and so unless we go further south in the northern hemisphere we don't enjoy much winter sun but this year if the current weather continues we shall be OK in New Zealand.
