Opening up at Little Roadway
by Kerry | Mar 30, 2021 | Woolacombe
Well, it’s been a long winter again, not as long as last year!! But finally, there is light at the end of the tunnel and on the 12th April we will be opening albeit with restrictions. So we can open up, but only if you have your own facilities, what does that mean?...Apr 15
I’ve managed to dodge the showers and get out on some lovely walks with the dog.
It’s so quiet down here at the moment, I’m really making the most of it!

All the details are on the booking system, and on our facebook page.

@ajskitchen_woolacombe is cooking tonight, I’ve got my eyes on the loaded fries with falafel all though the comfort of a jacket potato on a day like today is also very tempting.
You don’t have to be staying on site to enjoy AJ’s delicious food, everyone’s welcome and where else in Wooly can you get a jacket potato??

It’s looking like it’s going to be another beautiful day, yesterday hit 23 degrees, that’s summer temps! And just look at that surf.
Let’s keep this weather all camping season please!
Thank you for all the love about our electric issues that we had at the weekend, you guys are amazing 🤩

So as you know we opened the week before Easter to iron out any of those niggly issues, that weekend went off without a hitch really, just an issue with the milk machine, but this weekend, our first busy weekend of the year, all hell broke loose.
It started with a window falling out of one of our pods, thankfully an easy fix, hammer nails and Tim fixed it, then there was an issue with the boiler on our static caravan, thankfully another easy fix, but then the biggest issue we have experienced in 32 years of owning this site happened on Good Friday, no electricity throughout the site apart from the shop!!
The electric went out about 3pm and after a frantic call to our electrician who said he’d come out, what a life saver, he located the issue and by about 10.30pm we managed to get the majority of the electric back on, unfortunately they’re were a handful who didn’t have power. I’m not going to lie the stress and anxiety was awful, I cried, none of us slept that night and we were up at the crack with our electrician who came back on the Saturday to get everyone back on power, which he did.
I can not tell you how grateful I am to our electrician he is truly a life saver, but I’m also so grateful to our wardens Simon and Bentley for dealing with the situation so well they just cracked on with everything that needed doing and we all brainstormed together to resolve this situation.
I know I put a sign out to apologise to our campers on Saturday but I want to say again we are so so sorry for this happening, we are so grateful for your patience and understanding and thank you for supporting us this weekend and hopefully again in the future.
I wanted to post this, so that you guys can see really want goes on in our business, it’s not all highs, sometimes there are lows and really really devastating lows, lows where I want to give it all up, like this weekend, but I never would I love this little business and love seeing all you guys.
Tim and I are off now for a couple of days for a much needed rest!!! And to eat lots of chocolate!!!

Happy Easter.
I hope you got more Easter eggs than me, I’m still waiting for the Easter bunny but apparently I’m too old for Easter eggs!!!
Oh and don’t ask us how our Easter weekend is going because it will all be explained tomorrow where I give a true honest post about running a campsite ands the trails and tribulations that may happen 🤦♀️

So you’ve seen the new shop, but we’ve got another exciting project to reveal, the refurbishment of the original toilet block. We will fully admit, this was long overdue.
This project was started back in September when all four of us worked together, to make this area the best we possibly could, we put new panels in the ladies showers and made them about a foot longer, one is even bigger and has a lovely little seat in it, both the men’s and ladies have more hooks and towel rails in each shower and as you can see we have painted, and decorated the existing panels, so happy to say goodbye to the red doors in the men’s showers! We also added new worktops and new taps.
Hope you love them and enjoy our humour! Oh and the disco ducks, absolutely love them!!!

Friday night is chilli night with @ajskitchen_woolacombe.
AJ’s will be here all weekend for your breakfast and evening meals, meaning you won’t need to pack so much in your car, although you may need that extra space for wellie boots and coats!!

A coffee machine, I know that sounds spoilt but I love a good cup of coffee so we take our Nespresso machine with us in our van!!!
What’s your necessary item?

As you know we have been working on lots of new projects this winter, the one we have kept a complete surprise until now is this swimming pool, placed conveniently outside of the pods so that you can wake up and jump straight in.
Who’s up for a sunrise swim?

Here’s a little montage of how our shop was, how it was built and how it is now.
I still can’t believe what we have achieved this winter.

We still have availability in our static caravan and pods for Easter weeks. Perfect for that unpredictable weather, you’ll stay warm and cosy and don’t have to take home a wet tent!

What a lovely first weekend of the season we’ve had, the weather wasn’t the best, however the response we have had over the new shop and @ajskitchen_woolacombe has been fantastic, and it has given me the confidence that the direction we have chosen to take the business is right.
So looking forward to this year.

Due to the predicted rain on Sunday we have decided to cancel our car boot sale, we’ll reschedule it for a few weeks time and make sure we book sunshine! Keep an eye on our socials for a new date.

We’ve been wanting to show you this for so long, we are so proud of what we’ve achieved, Tim and I have done this all by ourselves, knocking walls down, painting, building walls, levelling floors, electrics, everything.
We are really taking a gamble with this but I’m sure you guys are going to love having a bigger shop, there’s so much more choice, but if there’s anything you feel like we’re missing please do let us know.
