What could be better on a dull January afternoon than a quick trip to the local Caravan Shop? Outside it's cold and damp but I still can't resist a quick shufty in and out of some vans on the forecourt. New vans, old vans, I like to look, I can't help myself. A Swift Basecamp... Continue Reading →
Looking back over 2017 and it's amazing how much we've packed into the year. Starting the year with ten days in Brighton. Brighton, a town I've always loved and we were blessed with crisp and clear weather. We got to meet up with fellow bloggers, Richard and Trevor, from (Get Your) Legs Down, went out...

Good morning! Merry Christmas! 7.30am and I stumble bleary eyed out of bed. Two long and tiring 12 hour days in the direct lead up to Christmas means no time for food shopping and present shopping there hasn't really been any prep of vegetables or meat for the big day. Up and at 'em at... Continue Reading →
Jack Frost has been and covered the caravan site in a crispy white carpet. The site begins to stir, slowly and leisurely. Santa sacks and stockings burst with Father Christmas’ offerings. Bing Crosby and David Bowie serenade us over breakfast with the Little Drummer Boy, good old Radio 2 playing the old favourites. Twinkly lights... Continue Reading →
Tepanyaki outside the caravan and fired up just as the heavens decide to drop their contents on our site. The lunchtime skies went quickly black and it looked like it was here for a while. Lunch re thought quickly, tepanyaki abandoned and hastily brought inside. Halogen oven fired up and sausages chucked inside. Forget the... Continue Reading →

The site is best accessed (whilst towing) from the B4371 that runs along the Wenlock Edge, the final mile down quiet single track roads that have frequent passing places.... Continue Reading →
Michael Bublé croones the José Feliciano penned song 'Feliz Navidad' and waitresses scuttle about bedecked as Santa's Little Helpers, complete with tinkly bells as we enter Darby's, a cafe facing Abraham Darby III's famous bridge in Ironbridge. Last days of November and these poor girls have another month of wearing fancy dress. Christmas comes too... Continue Reading →
"Oh no, I'm going to miss Strictly", my priorities are instantly at odds with those of The Boss. I hope he hasn't just unplugged the Electric Hook Up. Our previous electricity cuts in the caravan have never been any longer than the walk to the post at the back of the pitch to flick the... Continue Reading →
Leaving the caravan on site just outside Shrewsbury we had a bit of a trek into the centre of Birmingham. I'd read about this place, Birmingham Back to Backs, a step back in time, courtesy of the National Trust. Right in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Birmingham. Pre-booking is essential and you... Continue Reading →
Today, Shropshire has been battered and bruised by torrential downpours and caravan rocking winds. With this prior knowledge we'd made the decision not to put the awning up, it starts it's winter holiday relaxing on the back seat of the car, safe, warm and dry. From early morning the sun has refused to show its... Continue Reading →
