our caravan adventures
Seven weeks after starting the new job and living in the caravan we finally feel settled and that we've got the caravan and the awning as we want them. So much so that we've got the weekend off and rather than go home we've invited our Jellybeans across to visit. It was a bit hit... 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 →
Training is done and dusted. I've come away knackered. It's a long time since I sat in a classroom, I don't know how kids do it, although, maybe I do, their learning days are shorter than ours were.

Summer 2017. A quick twenty minute process on the PC, the finger hovers momentarily, then, we hit the 'send' button.

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 →
