    That looks an incredibile place and I'll have to go there one day... reminds me of years ago in my father in law's back garden next to Church Fenton where we used to watch the air show for hours on end every summer... great video Dave... the breakfast made us hungry and the humour made us smile... cheers, Dave and Jane 👍

    Hi Dave, I was the one blocking your clear view of the runway. Yes, it was a beautiful time to be there. I really enjoyed your video as being Artharitic mobility was a bit of a problem, and your video showed me everything I couldn't see. See you on the next visit to the willows. And that breakfast was to die
    for tell Ron lol. Take care. Ian

    I bet when the owners of the camp site applied to the council for a permit they all thought they were "BONKERS"...who knew people would pay money to have aircraft fly a hundred feet over head all day and night..love the full english breakfast , it's the only breakfast worth having... except no compromise!!!.♥️🇬🇧🇺🇦

    Another brilliant video. Love your reviews of campsites. Booked Old Brick Kilns in May after watching your review. Just trying to convince the wife and daughter to stay at The Willows, as we live in Suffolk so its not too far for us. We recently stayed at Haw Wood Farm near Southwold and would highly recommend it, lovely site and the facilities are amazing. Keep up the great videos, we watch every one of them.
