My gang has been guests of Thomson Al Fresco for the past two summers.

Just One Cornetto (OK, Maybe Two Then)

Venice

I’m off to Italy in this week. It can’t have changed that much since I was last there in 1982 can it? I imagine the Leaning Tower of Pisa probably looks a little smaller than it did when I was 15, after all I’ve grown a bit since then. But, other than that, it’s going [...]

Our reps often organise events on the campsites. For the Royal Wedding, Jackie and Ralph had the job of judging the mobile-home-made cards competition.
