New Year in Teversal

1 Jan The Carnarvon Arms Teversal Notts

Well that’s exactly what Missus Capers was like after pitching up after a nervous journey down a blustery M1 to the Camping and Caravanning Club site of Teversal near Mansfield in Nottinghamshire for a five night New Year break on Wednesday earlier this week. (more…)
