After all the trauma of recent weeks we have managed to get a long weekend away (with Ruby)on the campsite at the Wellington Country Park just south of Reading.

The park is set around some very attractive lakes with lots of walking trails and plenty of things to do for small children (shame we don’t have any!).

The campsite is set in the woods, fairly basic but with all the facilities you need. The pitches are the biggest we have seen, plenty of room to spread out.  The weather has been very mild for the time of year – we managed to go through the weekend without switching on the heating. It would be good to return in the summer when we could make better use of all the space.

Found a very reasonable pub in walking distance, the Bull at Riseby, where we had lunch on Saturday.
