A holiday in Herefordshire

We've come away Crusader camping in Herefordshire and its for two whole weeks! My first two week holiday.

The campsite we've chosen as our base is Arrow Bank Country holiday park, just outside Leominster and centrally located for visiting Shropshire, Monmouthshire and the Malvern Hills. The campsite is located within the village of Eardisland, one of the prettiest villages I've ever been to. 

After a pretty cold wet August we've arrived at the start of a mini heatwave and the weather is amazing.

As we brought our camper secondhand it came with two awnings, the main awning and a blowup porch awning. Until now we have only ever used the air awning, but as we are away for two weeks we decided to use the big main awning and they don't call it the divorce awning for nothing. 

For some reason we made a bit of a meal of erecting the camper this time, so we were already very hot and fractious before we even started on the awning, but what seemed like hours later we finally had it up, (It felt like it because it actually was hours). Was it worth it? My immediate reaction was never again, but the space is amazing and I'm sure if we had a break long enough to justify using it again we would know what we were doing and be quicker, right?

We arrived on Saturday and Sunday decided we'd just hang around the camper, stroll into the village, potter about unpacking and generally take a day to unwind. 

We were also treated to a beautiful sunset at the end of the day.
