Cumbers Travels

We have been retired since 2013 and after 20 years with a caravan and 20 years in a tent we bought 'Billina' our motorhome. Our travels are mainly in Europe due to the fact that UK councils do not like motorhomes. They can only put up height barriers instead of generating an income. Their loss as we, like many others, have disposable income and so we choose Europe. If little french towns can 'get it' why are the UK so neanderthal?
