When was the last time a volcanic cloud disrupted your caravanning? It’s hard to believe sitting here in Lincolnshire on a glorious day that the atmosphere is so potentially dangerous that planes still can’t fly.
It is fair to say that this is an unprecedented World event and seeing the Dunkirk spirit of people does restore a bit of faith in humanity.
My son is stuck in Australia and it could be at least another 12 days before we have any chance of getting him home. Is he bothered? Not a jot! I’ve asked his school to email homework for him – that went down well!
It’s interesting that the ash is actually having an effect on people going caravanning and some of my caravan insurance customers are having the odd problem. For example, the no-fly zone has packed more traffic onto ferries. People who didn’t make bookings, thinking that there’s always space at this time of year, are now struggling.
One customer I spoke to yesterday decided to abort his flight-based holiday to Spain and take the caravan across to France…

Hey just sitting in a meeting talking about touring caravan insurance and how Shield can develop its products.
Thought I would try out updating the blog from my Blackberry.
Works well. If you can post from your mobile send me your thoughts please.
