We have steady light rain today so after two days of working outside I’m happy to stay inside my caravan. I rehung the ‘tonnelle’ wall curtains yesterday so they are now as they should be except I’ve hung them on the upper rail rather than the lower one to keep them clear of the ground, as the following two shots show.<\/p>\n

The rain is also running off the roof without dripping into the inside which bodes well for the furniture that will in due course be inside both of my tonnelles. The wind picked up a bit and became quite blustery for a while yesterday afternoon so I also fitted guy ropes to the tonnelle’s four corners to ensure that it stayed firmly in place.<\/p>\n

They can be seen in the above pics but what is not clearly shown is just how much space the tonnelle actually takes up now with them attached. The conclusion I’ve come to is that when building starts the space to its side will be insufficient for the workmen to move around it and it would become even worse if I tried to erect a second one, which is my intention.<\/p>\n

So I’m now definitely of the opinion that I need to move my caravan back down to the bottom of my land and preferably before the builder comes on site. It will be a bit colder down there in the short term compared to where I am currently but I think that despite today’s rain, we have turned the corner into spring and the days will soon begin to warm up.<\/p>\n

I’ll also have to extend my electricity and water supplies but that won’t be difficult. The only problem will be insulating the long length of hosepipe to prevent the water becoming really hot in the summer sunshine. Free hot water is nice to shower and wash-up with but isn’t good for much else. I’m also thinking of turning the caravan compared to last time so as to accommodate the two tonnelles on the available flat(ish) land down there but I’ll have to look more closely at that once the rain stops. The move will have to happen though \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
