The Boss recently celebrated hitting the big 50, one of his gifts off the girls was a trip on the London Duck Tour. Having been regular visitors to London in our 10 years of living in the South, we hoped that this would show us London through fresh eyes. After alighting our train at Waterloo it's...

Low Emission Zones & Road Tolls
You would think the main advantage of a unified Europe would be encouraging standard process across all countries, if you drive a vehicle, forget that idea. If you own one of those horrible 'diesel' vehicles (ie, almost every motorhome or caravan owner) then you better start doing your homework before you venture from these shores. It's...

Caravan Attention and a Special Day
Beautiful sunny skies but still blooming chilly, it's still March though so not too bad. The security gate beeps in the distance and the Volvo rumbles onto site. I didn't think we'd be going away again so soon after the last trip but you never know. With the crunch of gravel it slows to a... Continue Reading →

Sgwd yr Eira – who’s that moaning at the back
He tells me if it's worth seeing it's worth some trouble getting there. The Four Falls Walk in the Brecon Beacons, Wales certainly served up a hidden gem today, although personally, I would have gladly teleported there for the experience. Not that I complained, well, no more than once every 30 seconds or so, had... Continue Reading →

After converting our end dinette into a fixed bed to try to make the caravan bed more comfortable the only thing left to get was a mattress. Custom Sized Beds came recommended so we decided to check them out. Custom made mattresses made to fit all shapes and sizes of spaces. Choosing to go with the... Continue Reading →
New Forest Centenary Site.
Arriving mid afternoon on a March Monday, there's a nip in the air but the sun is out - just. Ironically the sign leading into the entrance of the Centenary Site was being changed to reflect their new Caravan and Motorhome Club logo and signage (pictured pre-change). The driveway to reception skirts a path to... Continue Reading →
