What they say about us ...

Each of our camper vans has an adventure log in the glove compartment.  Here are a few of your comments:


"Bobby has had a very fun filled & fantabulous week in Suffolk.  High House Fruit Farm in Sudbourne, beautiful starry skies, pituresque walks & yummy fruit juice from the farm were the order of the day.  From there Bobby ventured up to Cliff House park in Sizewell.  lovely beach (ignore view of golf ball).  We ended up at Tina's farm at Brick Kiln and loved being in the orchard.  Put in a special request for there if you can.  All in all, it was a wonderful week.  thank you Bobby for giving us such a fab time on holiday".   Anna & Bill August 2011

"Wow! Bobby Brown for the Easter weekend and weather  you would be lucky to get in July.  First night with Tina at Brick Kiln Farm, great welcome and a cup of tea, a quiet field and orchard with chickens, cats and a pony. We were lucky to get a table at The Lighthouse in Aldeburgh, great food as always.  Tina cooked us breakfast - fab mushroom omlette.  Next day Southwold Harbour Campsite, basic but fab location for walks & town. We bought wild seabass from a harbour fishmonger and cooked it ourselves.  Day 3at Snape Maltings - galleries and food, great reed bed walks. Took B roads back to Mersea Island visiting Dedham and Constable country on route.  We have done the A12 run to Southwold many times but this was a whole new experience, enjoying the journey itself.  Last night arrived at Fenn Farm, found a leafy corner but busy with kids letting of steam - seemed a bit noisy after our peace and quiet so sneaked off home.  There was talk of not bringing Bobby back then this would be a very short guest book...so enjoy.  Leonie & Martin Easter 2011

"Hi Colonel Mustard, we met again for the 3rd time.  yet another great adventure to Suffolk this time where we experienced crabbing and you watched us.  We love you, you're great.  Les & Debs thanks for all your help this week.  See you next year.  Rakhi & Dipesh April 2011

"Ginger took us on a tour of North Norfolk and allowed us to relive our childhood at Brancaster and Hunstanton.  The weather was beautiful, I will always remember watching the sun set around the campfire at Holt, sheer bliss.  Thanks for the memories Ginger, I hope many others get to enjoy you as much as we have.  Shauna & Steve April 2011

"Had an amazing time in Ginger Rogers.  We toured the most beautiful parts of south Suffolk, visiting Southwold & Aldeburgh in the Spring sunshine.  We stayed at "The Orchard Campsite" in Wickham Market - what a cool site! Deb, Les and also Patricia from the B&B made us feel very welcome - very cool people, would recommend again!  Had fun shooting the video for the website. Christian & Annie April 2011 

"The best ever birthday present!"  Ginger went to Jimmy's Harvest Festival, Suffolk & had a great time reliving old festival experiences I'm sure.   Her passengers had a great time too, coming back years younger haveing relived their youth.  We would love to take you out again sometime Ginger, keep on Rocking!"  Brian & Jill Sept 2010

"Stayed at Tina's (Brick Kiln Farm) Sat in the paddock and star gazed!  Parked up at Walbeswick & used the ferryman to Southwold.  Thank you sooo much for a fab time."  Emma & Darran Sept 2010

'Thanks very much for an absolutely fantastic weekend. Bobby Brown was a total joy and we pottered round Suffolk in the sunshine without a care in the world! Thought you might like to see Lucy's drawing of Bobby - please note, my bingo wings are not THAT bad and I did not spend the entire weekend dressed as a 'hula girl'!! Can recommend the campsites we stayed at: www.stmargaretscampsite.co.uk (Shottisham, small and quiet site, playground and pub nearby) and www.carltonpark.info (Saxmundham, larger site but still quiet, lots of showers, very good playground). Thanks again for everything!  The Walker family July 2010Bobby Brown by Lucy
