our caravan adventures
The Boss' heart sank as his personal challenge/objective for the first year as an Assistant Warden was to build a herb garden. "...but I'm not very creative... but there's no power tools on site... when will I have time" he spluttered in half-hearted excuses. While he may not be so creative, he likes a puzzle...

After another toilet block cleaning workout, the sun is still shining and it's time to finish our shift. The weather has been glorious now for about a week, with us having a swelteringly hot Bank Holiday. Today it is a couple of degrees cooler, not many, but enough to make it feel a bit more...

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 →
After a bit of a manic week, it's time for some downtime. A day off earlier in the week took us home to MOT my trusted steed, the Ford Focus.

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. We're now armed and ready for the season. I've driven a tractor and a ride on lawn... 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 →
