Isn't It Ironic

Well that's it isn't it, 20 years of happy caravanning brought to an end less than a week after starting this blog!

There we were in the kitchen, my wife, my 2 children and myself when through the kitchen window we saw our car seemingly moving down the road of it's own accord?

Confused and concerned I rushed out to see our car coming to a standstill but attached to the rear corner of a twin axle Abbey. The gentleman towing the caravan (and I can call him a gentleman now that I have calmed down) had misjudged how much space he needed on is drivers side and decided that our family car would be going on holiday to Breen with him.

Now accidents happen, I know this, I work in insurance but this experience has defintely taught me one thing.... there is no excuse for being a complete and utter idiot.

I surveyed the scene and using a much used phrase "you could have got a bus through there" I wondered just how this situation had come to pass? Maybe Abbey are making caravans bigger than buses these days, I don't know for sure but I very much doutbt it? No, it was simply a case of not enough care being taken.

So if you are towing in residential area please do take note of your surroundings and take more care. A little more attention taken in this instance and there would be £4,000 less damage!

Got to see the funny side my wife says. Well ok, let's hope for a better summer from here on in.
