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...

The Longleat Gift

Just over a year ago I volunteered The Boss to make this... The New Forest Gift Knowing that we had left our mark on the New Forest Centenary site... and also knowing that 'I' was the person to volunteer his services... our Longleat Wardens started to wonder, out loud, what could be added to the...

Longleat Food and Drink Festival

After a very miserable and damp start to June, I rub the sleep out of my eyes to clear blue skies and the sun streaming through the skylight above our bed. Lions roaring in the distance, only in Wiltshire! Lazy morning off from site duties. Up, showered and dressed, we amble round the corner into... Continue Reading →

Twitter Camp #TC4T

It's taken me a while to get my act together and put this blog together, my blogging mojo has dipped a bit, I need to try to get it back. It's a blog I needed to write about an event I'm glad we had the opportunity to attend, in memory of a man, I'm glad... Continue Reading →

Frome Independent Traders Market

We'd seen the signs at the sides of the road earlier in the week and chosen to either not read them or ignore them, they won't apply to us. 'Frome Independent Traders Market, this Sunday' they'd clearly stated all week. Why would we want to go into Frome on a Bank Holiday Sunday? Why take... Continue Reading →

The green winter storage jackets are carefully... Continue Reading →

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

Looking back fondly on 2018. A few days into the New Year and we flew to Lanzarote for two weeks of winter sunshine ahead of starting our new lives, jobs, chapters and adventures. 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 →

A Trip Down Memory Lane, back to Bolton

Having spent the first forty years of my life in Bolton, it will always hold a special place in my heart. All my memories are there. I was born and brought up there, both Jellybeans were born in Bolton and spent most of their childhoods there. Bolton has changed a lot in the twelve years... Continue Reading →

Northern Delicacies

A trip back to Burrs Country Park in the caravan, to visit family just before Christmas, opened my eyes to some of the northern delicacies our taste buds have been missing since we moved South twelve years ago. Not necessarily healthy foods but definitely tasty foods. One thing to note about the majority of the... Continue Reading →
