That's a lovely pic. It's all about the dressing, the angle, the lighting, the background. Sadly too many UK sites have been sanitised and lost their bucolic beauty.

That's a lovely picture DM.

Maybe a slight crop on the right so the long grass fills the width and helps bring the big tree onto a dividing third.

Ok I give up !I have looked using a magnifying glass and still cannot see the dog's nuts !! Directions please

If they're anything like Mr Cuneo's mices, they can be hard to spot.

SDA, not all UK sites have been sanitised......just the ones which primarily cater for caravans. There are a few proper beauties which primarily cater for tents and the odd [small] campervan, but if you tell them you have a cute little Eriba (rather than a WWB), they're all ears!

PLP, we have booked such a campsite in Pembrokeshire for mid-August to enjoy the location, a little coasteering, and the Perseid meteor shower. They typically exclude caravans and motorhomes, they allow campfires, and it's a dark sky location, so great for stargazing if you like all that. Now that will make a lovely Eriba photo opportunity !!

You win

A couple from me:-

On the dockside at Santander.


Basking in the sun at Haro (Rioja region, Spain) at the end of August this year.

Were you on the municipal site in Haro just across the bridge? We used this site in June, the sun was shining then too.
Having tried lots of nice Rioja in lots of pricey bodegas we bought a 15 litre box of "young wine" for 20 Euro (bargain) at a wine shop in the main square. Took some carrying back to the van and totally confused a pair of Americans we met on the bridge, they couldn't understand what a caravan was, remembered after a couple of minutes that they call them trailers. Why can't the Americans speak proper English! Wine was for my 60th in August and went down very nicely. Hopefully the Spanish will have us back next year as we will need more cheap wine by then and that Alta Rioja region is well worth revisiting.

Just hope that when we are out of the EU the old duty free rules aren't re-instated regarding the amount of booze you can bring back without paying duty!
