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 →
Turn to Hurn
We're off on the road again. After our last trip to the New Forest, I'm a little more organised. I started to throw stuff, willy nilly into the van the night before, so, when our shift finishes, I'm still in uniform as he is motor moving the van out of our compound and into late...

A Tortoise, a Puppy and the New Forest
I've done nowt but moan for the past few hours, nothing new there, according to The Boss. Since taking the awning down a few weeks ago, lifting the legs, hitching up and hitting the road and heading towards Burford we vowed we'd take the van off site and away again on our next available days...

Back to The Grindstone
The last four months has flown by, in the blink of an eye. Our first season as assistant wardens at the New Forest Centenary Site finished early last November. We were more than ready for a break. Six weeks winter caravanning followed by some Jellybean time took us into 2019. Six weeks of winter sunshine... Continue Reading →
Looking Back on 2018

Flying isn't one of our favourite past times and just reinforces Why We Like to Caravan. We do however need a little... Continue Reading →

This year we're heading towards Swindon again and the Stanton Hotel for the launch of Bailey's new Phoenix. The Phoenix is replacing the Pursuit. I love my Pursuit so I'm looking forward to seeing...

The Motorhome & Caravan Show – Birmingham NEC
Beep, beep, beep... it’s silly o’clock and my alarm is bouncing around the bedroom. Trying to get up and look pretty at this time of the day is hard, at my age it’s hard at any time of the day! We’re off to the NEC for a little bit of caravan porn. The Caravan &... Continue Reading →
Towing the Home from Home, Home
You know it's not a good day to have to pack up as the sunlight wakes you streaming through the skylight above your bed. Granola chomped and tea slurped. It's 9am and with the chance of a long drive ahead of us we'd best get a wriggle on. Cupboards emptied and safely stowed away, car... Continue Reading →
Bailey of Bristol – A Caravan Factory Tour
Who can resist a factory tour? Especially when it's at Bailey of Bristol, manufacturers of Caravan and Motorhome leisure vehicles, and you are the owner of a much loved Bailey Pursuit Caravan. A casual verbal invitation was issued during our recent attendance at the The New Bailey Unicorn – Launch Event so, in our excitement professional interest... Continue Reading →
