And Breathe…

We are a northern couple, who for the last 10 years have been living down south in Hampshire.  Working for a big corporate company, promotion meant we upped sticks and moved from our native town of Bolton to rural Hampshire with our two teenage girls. Fast forward 8 years and holiday planning for the summer... Continue Reading →

Back to our Northern Roots

Ten years ago we upped sticks from the familiarity of our native town of Bolton to Hampshire. Steve, at that time, was working for a big corporate company and a promotion meant a move south. This means that any trips back to see friends and family are normally just one or two night stays. Trying... Continue Reading →

A walk to Summerseat

A trip to the north west in our caravan. A time to visit family and friends after we moved south ten years ago. Let's spend time with people we haven't seen for ages was the plan. A ten day break seemed perfect. Burrs Country Park, Bury booked. Off we went. One week later, completely exhausted... Continue Reading →

April Showers in Cirencester

After trawling eBay for a few weeks we finally found an awning, in Gloucester! Only one thing for it, our 3 days off midweek are going to be spent in Cirencester.  We are quite lucky to have 3 days off during the week, every other week come hail or shine we try to get our... Continue Reading →

Rookesbury Park

It's been a few weeks since our last trip out. We tend not to go away when the schools are on holiday, so Easter made sure we stayed home for a little while.  Quite glad we didn't go out over Easter, didn't fancy being in the 'van whilst Storm Katie was brewing. Easter brought the... Continue Reading →

Sunshine break at Sandyballs 

The sunshine was shining as we lazily rose. Unprepared as usual, we were heading off for 5 lovely nights at Sandy Balls in the New Forest. This is going to be the longest that we have stayed in this new 'van. So far the most we have stayed in it is 2 nights. We threw... Continue Reading →

 Legs Down in Lytton Lawn

A bright crisp morning and we're off again.  Not as organised this time.  On arriving at the storage site to hook up we realised that we'd left the caravan step in the boot of our other car. Having visited the caravan last week taking some bits and pieces to it and of course having a... Continue Reading →

Backwards and Forwards across the Thames

One of the Christmas presents off our girls were tickets to see Sunny Afternoon, the hit musical based on the story of The Kinks at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London. Not ones wanting to waste an opportunity to go to London, we decided to make a day of it. Train tickets booked. The man... Continue Reading →

Mid week break at Sandy Balls

"Google that Sandy Balls place we saw at the NEC show", then we watched the screen with some trepidation as the 'return' button was pressed. Luckily, or unluckily, depending on your viewpoint, countless beach pornography sites did not appear and we found ourselves booking our next trip.  That incident was actually during the first week...

Kingfisher Park in the Wind and Rain

Last minute decision to venture out for the first time this year.  Struggling to find open all year sites close enough to home to justify just a two night stay.  After deciding that I wanted to try somewhere new and some internet trawling, I found a site recommended on a caravanning Facebook group in Gosport....
