"Getting beaten up, getting beaten up, it's part of growing up" sang The Piranhas when I was growing up, and very accurate it was too. So why am I contemplating 'getting beaten up' ... again ... at the age of 51, surely I'm grown up already! For two consecutive nights we left our caravan at... Continue Reading →
"I'm so stupid" proclaimed the stupid woman at the car park ticket machine. "Oh no, we are all stupid until we know better" we replied to make her feel less stupid. She finally mastered the art of scanning her National Trust membership card then stupidly left the ticket flapping in the slot of the machine.... Continue Reading →
Since The Boss sold my Focus the other week I've been forced to drive the Volvo. Not a happy bunny really, anyone who knows him knows that he hates spending money. Today, he had to dig deep into his pockets and pay to have the spring loaded start,stop button and key fixed. Many moons ago... Continue Reading →
"What time is the brewery thing tomorrow" The Boss shouts across our campsite late night arrival area to the youngest Jellybean. "Daaaaad!!!..He didn't know about it" came the reply as they both looked at James (Boyfriend) who now knows tomorrow's surprise. Ooops. The last time the four of us did a brewery tour three of...

Friday afternoon 4pm and the start of one of our treasured weekends off. They only come round every third weekend and are normally spent at home doing mundane tasks like gardening, shopping and housework. Our grown up Jellybeans still live at home but there are always bits and pieces to do. This weekend is different.... Continue Reading →
Bit of a lie in today, 9am start at work. It's only a short shift, finishing at 2pm. Followed by a day off tomorrow and a lunchtime start the day after. Days off have been plentiful since we started the new job. Not much time to ourselves though, due to various commitments and going home... Continue Reading →
After an eventful flight, Lanzarote welcomed us with a sunny embrace. Fiat 500 hire car collected, "Do you need a map Sir?" "No thanks, you only have one road" replied The Boss, there is more than one road but he would rather get lost than buy a map. First stop Lidl, for essential supplies, killed... Continue Reading →
Probably the most important element of touring, living or working in the confined space of a caravan or motorhome is that you actually 'like' the people confined in the same space with you. Luckily, we do, despite the occasional urge to throttle one another with the electric hook up lead. Long standing friends and acquaintances... Continue Reading →
