Sun, Saddles and a Very Spoilt Cat

The rest of our stay passed in a blur of bike rides, tea stops, and an alarming amount of time spent catering to a small, furry dictator named Oscar. Oscar, for his part, has taken to caravanning like he’s been secretly doing it behind our backs for years. Honestly, if he could talk, I’m fairly... Continue Reading →

Sea Air, Sick Cat & the Price of a Kidney in the New Forest

After the best night’s sleep, I wake to the kettle boiling and the unmistakable sound of the cat throwing up… on my seat. Fortunately, our seats are covered with throws, so it’s easily sorted… by Steve. I’m still in bed. Every time I get into the caravan bed, I forget how comfy it is. You... Continue Reading →

From Chaos to Cosy, A New Forest Escape

A lie-in is always a good idea on the day you go away, if you can. What followed was a flurry of manic energy, doors opening and closing, bags being flung about, and a last-minute decision to hoist the tandem onto the car roof. We hadn’t planned to take it, but on this surprisingly mild... Continue Reading →

Repairs, Rain and a Rebellious Cat.

Our first outing of the year and, if I’m honest, we are not remotely prepared. Back in September we had a new axle fitted to our Bailey Pursuit. It had been showing signs of dropping for a few years, and the time finally came when we couldn’t ignore it any longer. While it was in... Continue Reading →

Catavanning

A few days ago we went to give the caravan the once over, just checking it’s ok and hasn’t blown off in the recent storms we’ve had. It was still exactly where we had left it but very green, one of the joys of storing on a farm near trees. In order to return it... Continue Reading →

A Trip to White House Beach CAMC Site

Last minute as normal for us. Completely unplanned. Saturday morning the day dawned as it normally would, the weather wasn’t too bad, still not summer as we know it but it’s not raining. ‘Let’s take the caravan away’ he says. Not wanting to miss a trick I quickly book White House Beach in Suffolk, I... Continue Reading →

Like Going Home

The weather has been cracking the flags for the last few weeks and true to form just as we decide to take the caravan out the forecast turns wet. Luckily, day by day as our arrival date gets closer the good old BBC start to change their predictions, it might not be that bad after... Continue Reading →

2022, better late than never…

A bit late in writing this but with a complete lack of caravanning this year it seemed a bit pointless writing as 2022 drew to a close. I say a complete lack of caravanning, that bit is a white lie, we lived in our van for 8.5 months whilst working on site at Burrs Country... Continue Reading →

Sunsets and Rainbows

Heading into our tenth week here at Burrs Country Park. The season is racing by at a speed of knots that I’m finding hard to keep up with. A lady on site said hello today, she said they’d decided to come to Burrs after following my blog. Then the penny dropped, I need to get... Continue Reading →

Manchester! Back to the Future.

Been on site nearly a week now, we’re all set up and back to work. Our day off happened to fall on a day when North West Electricity planned to turn our power off for a few hours to do some work off site. Kettle filled, fridge flicked to gas, time to decide what to... Continue Reading →
