Lottery winners escape to their caravan

Retired lottery winners, Bryan Crook, 66, and his wife Janice, 70, from Stroud won £2.4 million, and have decided to visit their caravan in Burnham-on-Sea more often.

The couple plan to spend six months of the year in each of their dwellings.

"I have my allotment at home and we have our friends so we wouldn't move there full time," Mr Crook told the BBC.

"We're not interested in spending money on holidays in Spain or cruises; we're not really into travel although we go to Newquay as it has fishing lakes down there too."

The couple have allowed themselves a little splurge - they used to play the slot-machines with pennies - nowadays they use pounds.
