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...

Tredegar House Caravan and Motorhome Club Site 

Situated in the lovely grounds of Tredegar House the Site is situated a short drive in. Well manicured and planted, a dusting of Motorhomes and caravans sit amongst the daffodils. Met by the warden, a lovely lady, who informed us of the basics of the site. Pitch found, hard standing, not too keen on the... Continue Reading →

Sgwd yr Eira – who’s that moaning at the back

The Old Station Tearooms – Holmsley

What to do on a wet and windy lunchtime staying in a caravan on the Caravan and Motorhome New Forest Centenary Club Site. The plan was to get the tepanyaki out and have the sausage, eggs and bacon sizzling. Without an awning or a canopy we have a lunchtime dilemma. Ordinarily we would have an... Continue Reading →

On yer bike

We describe ourselves as a tandem riding couple, to be truthful, although we have pedalled over 2000 miles of UK and European Tarmac, 'Louis' our tandem, named after the chimp in the PG Tips "can you ride tandem?" advert, has effectively been a clothes horse in the garage this last 12 months.   The reason,...

The Life of a Bailey Pursuit

I sit quietly at the storage yard amongst a multitude of other 'Memory Boxes.' Most used regularly, loved and polished. Other boxes sit amongst us lonely and unloved, desperate for care and attention. My fridge is switched on and filled, blinds opened.
