Enjoyed reading this. We lived in a caravan when I was a young child, (lack of housing and moving around with my father’s job). It was smaller than the places now installed in areas of outstanding natural beauty, had a proper coke stove, a tiny kitchen which served as bathroom sink and a toilet. Baths in a tin bath by the stove. My mother kept it spotless, we HAD to be tidy - my brother and I - putting every toy away before bed. I don’t ever recall feeling deprived or unusual. We lived in fields and next to farms. It was I guess a kind of idyllic childhood for a few years.
Thanks so much for reading Liza and for that glimpse into your childhood too. Baths by the coke stove ❤️. Although our stay was short, I can absolutely appreciate this feeling.
Loved this. I was right there with the sounds of caravan life. I always enjoy the feeling of less stuff and small, tidy spaces when I'm on a bike trip, or short break somewhere. Looking forward to your updates from the Isles.

Welcome back!
It feels good to be back and in this new space! Thanks for reading ❤️
I’d forgotten about the click click of the gas hob for the first cuppa. I can hear the sound now and am transported back in time. How wonderful x
Lovely to be able to read you here on Substack Sarah. xx
