Let’s get ready to go away

Waking up on our first morning off work. Caravan time. No rush. We've got till Thursday.  As a rule we try to go away every other week all year round. None of our trips are ever really planned. We may be organised for a longer trip and know where we are going a few weeks... Continue Reading →

We're back now and our choice of accommodation is our Bailey Pursuit, comfort as we get older.  Staying at Tredegar House Caravan and Motorhome club site, click HERE for site review, for only...

St Fagans National History Museum 

Whilst staying at Tredegar Caravan & Motorhome Club site we had a fellow blogger and Welshman and a local recommend St Fagans National History Museum. Planning to take a drive into Cardiff we decided we give St Fagans an hour of our time on the way.  How wrong we were. The admission to the museum is... 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 →

New Forest Centenary Site.

Arriving mid afternoon on a March Monday, there's a nip in the air but the sun is out - just.

We have endure enjoyed 33 years of holidays together since we first met, so how did we end up with a caravan. We both left school in 1983 aged 16 and started work at McDonalds, Bolton (UK), back in the days when people still expected a knife and fork with their food. Aged 17 we started... Continue Reading →

Brighton Pier Murmuration

You can't beat a free of charge tourist attraction, and Brighton Pier shared a stunning one with us tonight. We have been to Brighton on numerous occasions but had no idea of this daily winter phenomenon as dusk presents a Starling spectacular.  Apparently numbers have dropped in recent years so you may want to catch...
