Yep, not quite Skegness, just the other side of the golf course on Skegness Sands Caravan Park. The touring part of the site is affiliated to the caravan club and £23.00 per night at this time of year is a tempting deal.
Part of the site is open and a smaller area is laid out with traditional pitches, we have camped in both, I prefer the pitches with the strips of grass to separate the vans.
Turning right from the camp you have a spar shop and a general small bits and bobs store ( during the season) turning left you have a couple of cafes and an amusement arcade ( open weekends and during the season) and that is it apart from the surrounding houses and the large Derbyshire Miners Convalescence Home which is currently closed awaiting redevelopment.
I may have spent time in the cafe :-)
and walking down the beach.
Last time we stayed on this site, we heard the foghorn but couldn't work out where it was coming from. This time I grabbed a coffee and walked down to the front. This confirmed that my fog horn is actually out to sea on the wind farm ( which on that morning I couldn't see at all)
Skegness has a small museum, Church Farm museum, and this time we managed to visit (previous attempt sabotaged by a covid outbreak amongst the volunteers)
I spotted three spinning wheels although only grabbed photos of two.
The wooden frame of this cottage was discovered inside another one on demolition, saved , then moved to the museum and restored.
Out buildings contained old farm implements, vintage vehicles, smithy and much, much more. One shed contained a display of corn dollies and a model railway.
We ended our visit with tea and biscuits in the cafe whilst talking to the volunteers.
This sign was spotted outside a bar about half a mile from the campsite, I 'm not sure whether to be worried ??
Anyway, that's about it for now, we are back home booking campsite for the next trip.
Speak soon. x

What a sweet little cottage! It's beautiful inside and out. Wouldn't I love to own one just like it.
