It makes sense that when setting up or packing up the caravan that we have, as a couple, our own jobs. These jobs generally are chosen between couples depending on choice and ability. Whilst I'm very aware that everyone will do things differently, these are our pink and blue jobs. Arriving on site: Towing the... Continue Reading →
Bury and Bolton – An Annual Pilgrimage
Goodbye Wales and back to England. The day is dull, damp and grey. Oh the joys of caravanning in the winter. The roads are kind to us and the traffic flows easily. The roads towards the North West display their industry proudly in the mizzly gloom. Roads become familiar very quickly even though we are... Continue Reading →
A Date with Lady Margaret and a Desire to Cuddle People
After two nights at Broadway its time to bid farewell , pack up and hit the road again. This time we're heading to a site that seems to be loved by lots of people, Lady Margaret's in Chirk. In an area we've been to before, back in another life before caravanning when we toured the... Continue Reading →
The Tour Starts with the Lights of Broadway.
After a lazy morning the hall is cleared of caravan clutter that's been piled up as we remember things over the last couple of days. The Volvo is packed to the gunnels and purrs along nicely on this cold and frosty morning as we head to storage to pick the caravan up. Shivering my bits... Continue Reading →
Time to Tour – Winter 2019
Bit of a mixed ride since we left Longleat and came back to good old bricks and mortar. I love being home with the Jellybeans but I do miss 'my space.' I miss the fresh air, I find the house feels huge and full of 'stuff.' At the moment, mainly caravan stuff. With living in... Continue Reading →

All Done … Our Final Day at Longleat
It's dark outside, rain plops on the roof of the caravan as I rub the sleep from my eyes and curse Siri for setting my alarm clock when I asked him too. Way back at the start of March we arrived here on site excited about the season ahead. Well, today, eight months later and... Continue Reading →
The Last Time…
With just over a week left in our season of working at Longleat CAMC Site I've started to realise that this is also the start of a week of 'the last time' that we'll do certain things here. Sad times, but also exciting times, looking forward to our winter off work and time to recharge... Continue Reading →
At The End of the Day…
Another 'last,' today is my 'last' Wednesday of our season as assistant wardens. Waking up in our caravan at Longleat, I'm busting for a wee, the microwave tells me it's 5.29am. I hate waking up so late in the night, early in the morning, for a call of nature, it means not much time left... Continue Reading →
An Early Morning and a Trip to the Motorhome and Caravan Show.
Up with the lark, or even before the lark and the crows and the sparrows. The rain has been thundering on the caravan roof for most of the night and it's still falling heavily from the dark night skies as I stumble out the the van door at ridiculous o'clock in the morning. In real... Continue Reading →
