Beautiful sunny day predicted by the weather app, rain tomorrow. With only 2 days before we pack up the caravan and head towards our next destination we decide that today is the day to visit the 'tulips of (just south of) Amsterdam'. It seems that the world, his wife and his dog looked at the... Continue Reading →

Turn left towards Belgium & The Netherlands
Packed the caravan and sorted everything out in the days leading up to the trip. Quick shower. Wave goodbye to our grown up jellybeans and the cat, in the car on the way to the storage site by 8am. 50 mins after the start of our drive we were still only 18 miles down the... Continue Reading →
EuroTunnel in a Caravan

We have looked at ferry alternatives but on balance, the cost, frequency of trains, easy boarding, speed of crossing and ability to stay with car/caravan make it a no-brainer for us. Once again we paid for the trip,... Continue Reading →

Winchester Escape
Midweek weekend came early. The Boss finished work and was home by Monday lunchtime. Snaffled a quick lunch, threw some bits in a few bags, raided the freezer, shouted goodbye to the cat as the front door closed behind us, (the kids will be home from work later for him to look after). Straight down... Continue Reading →
Summertime
What will the summer of 2019 bring? Cracking the flags wall to wall sunshine, or gloomy grey days with wind and rain. Harping back to the 70s, summers seemed long with endless days. Warmth from early morning to bedtime. Playing out till we either got hungry or night time started to fall. Those endless summer... Continue Reading →
NextBase 412GW Professional iN-Car Cam
I am not a very 'Technical' savvy person and don't like gadgets very much, but I did want a Dash-Cam and I wanted it to be easier than my TV planner to understand. Anything else? Yes, I want the picture quality to be good in all conditions and make my driving look really good, well,... Continue Reading →
Silky for Streaks – Puriclean for Pipes
A question came up on our Facebook Group 'Caravan Adventures ' about removing dirty streak marks on the external caravan walls. With a few exceptions, that may also work well, the overwhelming response was 'Silky'. As we did have numerous streaks that no amount of rubbing with a soapy sponge would remove, a tub of...
