Sheep or lonely

Just arrived home after a snowy & frostie break - all was perfect,the site wasn't busy,crisp clear frosty nights/days & the snow added to the magic - all very tranquil 

Eight pitches in the row opposite us were empty & five pitches to our 'off side' empty too with a  hedge to our near side - bliss 

However after three days of this idyll within half an hour an outfit parked right next to us & horror another straight opposite 

Why do people behave like sheep - no I am not anti social but there is a limit

    Hello Susan, Glad you enjoyed your break. It`s the "herding instinct" I`m afraid!

    As a family we once sat on an empty beach and another family appeared and sat beside us! So yes, would agree with the herding instinct or maybe safety in numbers!

    Its because they obviously knew that you had selected the best pitch on the site and wanted to be as close as possible to it.

    I know what you mean. We were on a very quiet site in France. We pitched under some trees and were the only people in that area, It was lovely and peaceful. Imagine the surprise when we woke up in the morning to the chatter of foreign voices and clanking
    of dishes. I peeped out of the window and there was a circle of 8 caravans parked next to us all with Dutch number plates having a communal breakfast. The rest of the site was almost deserted. We assume they must have felt safe next to an English contingency
