Quite excited when this little tin landed on my doormat. I'd chosen lavender, my choice out of 6 different scents, with the others being citrus, mint, pure, tropical and spice. The lavender is a very subtle fragrance not over powering as I'd feared. The deodorants come in a handy sized tin and contain no parabins... Continue Reading →
Why we bought a Caravan
We have endure enjoyed 33 years of holidays together since we first met, so how did we end up with a caravan. We both left school in 1983 aged 16 and started work at McDonalds, Bolton (UK), back in the days when people still expected a knife and fork with their food. Aged 17 we started... Continue Reading →
Brighton – Our ten day trip to Sussex
After working all over Christmas and New Year, including Christmas Day and New Year's Day, we are ready for a break. Destination Brighton Caravan Club site. Only a couple of hours from home and relatively straightforward to get to. Halfway there and we stop in a huge layby for lunch. Only a quick bite to... Continue Reading →
Brighton Pier Murmuration
You can't beat a free of charge tourist attraction, and Brighton Pier shared a stunning one with us tonight. We have been to Brighton on numerous occasions but had no idea of this daily winter phenomenon as dusk presents a Starling spectacular. Apparently numbers have dropped in recent years so you may want to catch... Continue Reading →
Thumbelina goes to Brighton
Thumbelina was bought for me by a very dear work friend for my 50th birthday. Our first trip out this year and I thought it only fair to let her tell you how her holiday was. My first holiday away! They've taken me to their caravan, I've got my own seat by the big front... Continue Reading →
Kilrock Multi Purpose Descaler
Living and doing most of our caravanning in the South East of England with a hard water supply means our kettle, over time, acquires a chalky limescale build up on the element and on the inside of the kettle. Built in filters on the spout generally do a good job of keeping little floaty residual... Continue Reading →
The Beautiful Game
Gutted really, our front caravan window here at Brighton Caravan Club site is looking out towards Whitehawk FC's pitch and I had mentally made an appointment to attend Saturday's match versus Hemel Hempstead in England's 6th tier of league football. If you follow or have stumbled upon this blog page before you have probably already... Continue Reading →
Wessex ‘Waterless Wash’ for vehicles
I am very lazy when it comes to washing the caravan but so many keep their caravans and motorhomes so shiny clean I am shamed into making more of an effort. Unless it's high summer I soon find myself with water dripping from the sponge down my forearms to my elbow in a freezing mess,... Continue Reading →
An evening in the life of…
An evening in the caravan is so different to an evening at home. For a start we don't have a TV, no news, no One Show, no Corrie, oh how I miss my Corrie. I feel caravan life, I smell caravan life and my goodness, it smells good. An evening normally starts as the sun... Continue Reading →
