to Tom and Heather at Caravantasia…. it’s a wonderful new caravan site with a difference that has started up in Crohan nr. Killenaule outside Thurles. You’ll just love the quirky vintage caravans that have been lovingly restored and each has its own beautifully colour co-ordinated deck area.

We spent a lovely few hours at Caravantasia yesterday… and the weather JUST managed to hold off for most of the day.
We enjoyed sessions with Wesley on how to make your own organic charcoal…. real easy when you know how 🙂

The afternoon was spent with Gary learning how to build a clay oven, so hopefully our own will soon start to take shape! The plinth for it has been ready for quite a while. 🙂
Loved the wooden-framed bicycles from Woodelo and the chainsaw wood-sculpting was pretty amazing too.

Wood Carving
I was so busy chatting and catching up with folks from Tipperary Green Business Network that I didn’t really get to take many photos – besides the fact that I let my camera fall and have damaged the lens, which I am praying frantically can be fixed. However, lets not dwell on that today. It was really great to catch up Brian (Biofinch), Sean (Cloncannon Biofarm) and Kate (TGBN).
Our best wishes to Tom and Heather on their new venture.

Oh, you’re frightening me now with those caravan pics…. they’re taking me, screeching like a banshee, right back to the seventies!
Sorry to hear about the lens. Ouch! Hope it can be mended!
I’ve promised not to think about it til tomorrow… but it is now tomorrow… and I’m scared 🙂 but yes, we did the caravan holiday thing……
Great to see a post about a caravan holiday that wasn’t on the back of a freebie. Just a genuine article 😉
Thanks M…. they have some pretty cool caravans… the real deal, like I remember and my mother hated…. turfing us all out into a field to play 🙂 However, these would be much more sedate and leisurely with wine……..
I agree with Maggue (above). Very much a genuine post, no freebies, and you are just interested in what is going on in your area, Margaret. The only way to promote and be objective. Hope the lens wasn’t damaged too much, and you can get it repaired.
Thanks Colette. I guess I should put the ‘disclosure’ in that while we were invited to attend the launch, we did pay to go along!!!
Have to try and find a camera repair place now today…. any recommendations?
I would so LOVE to visit this place! Those caravans are darling.
And you should see the interiors… all retro style wallpaper and fittings.
I can just imagine. What a wonderful idea! And the wood carving is beautiful.
Best of luck to them. I love the retro look 🙂
They are gorgeous aren’t they 🙂
