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 →

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 →

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 →

Our European Caravan Tour Plan – January Update

50 for 50 OK folks, we need your help to plan our first extended trip.  We are both hitting 50 this year and also have our 30th Wedding Anniversary.  We are celebrating by taking a 50 day Tour of Europe, one of the only benefits of a zero hour contract, and were thinking approx 11...

Looking back at 2016

Looking back it seems like we have packed an awful lot of trips into 2016 and done quite a bit of tinkering to make the caravan more personal to us. We upgraded our Orion 400-2 for a Bailey Pursuit 560-5 and with the arrival of the Pursuit in November, 2015 the blog was born. We... Continue Reading →

Longleat – A Winter Wonder

To celebrate getting old I've gone down to a 3 day working weekend. Having worked Mondays since the age of 16 this is my first Monday off. Time to prepare for our trip to Longleat Caravan Club Site tomorrow. The Boss started work at silly O'Clock this morning and walks through the door just before 11am... Continue Reading →

Towing in France

Thought we would share some thoughts on our trip to France in the summer of 2015.  If anyone out there has wondered or feared what it is like to tow outside our shores, then maybe this will give some food for thought.  To date, this is our only trip abroad with the caravan but we...

20p for a Wee!!

Rain, rain go away, come again another day! A Twitter friend suggested we 'cross the border' a mile away back into England for nicer weather. Very tongue in cheek but worth a try. We needed a few supplies, the bottled variety, so off we went. Ludlow, in Shropshire, destination of the day. Over the border back... Continue Reading →

Daisy Bank and The Welsh Tornado

Sited and within an hour the kettle is on. Daisy Bank Caravan Park is a lovely adult only site, just inside the Welsh Border. We chose a pitch looking out onto the Kerry Ridgeway. We haven't holidayed in Wales for at least 12 years. The last time we were here we stayed on a beautiful camp site in... Continue Reading →

Justin Wales

We recently shared a map of our caravan trips from the last two years. A number of people immediately noticed we had not been to Wales, was there a reason for this? Apart from the obvious 'damp isn't good for a caravan' (only joking, surely it can't be that wet in Wales) the only reason... Continue Reading →
