A Date with Lady Margaret and a Desire to Cuddle People

After two nights at Broadway its time to bid farewell , pack up and hit the road again. This time we're heading to a site that seems to be loved by lots of people, Lady Margaret's in Chirk. In an area we've been to before, back in another life before caravanning when we toured the... Continue Reading →

The Tour Starts with the Lights of Broadway.

After a lazy morning the hall is cleared of caravan clutter that's been piled up as we remember things over the last couple of days. The Volvo is packed to the gunnels and purrs along nicely on this cold and frosty morning as we head to storage to pick the caravan up. Shivering my bits... Continue Reading →

Time to Tour – Winter 2019

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 →

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...

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 →

Our new home for 2019 is…

Our time at the Centenary Site has ended. We drove out with heavy hearts. The site, the area, all will forever have a place in our hearts. It's strange, leaving. Almost like moving out of your first home. You know every nook and cranny and can find your way around in the dark. The familiarity,... Continue Reading →

Season done – Goodbye New Forest

We waved our last guests goodbye with cheery smiles and promises to return next year, the site was suddenly quiet. Birdsong blasted all around just as the warden announced to those of us not able to wave our final goodbyes that the final guest had left the building. Time to crack on, lots to do....

The New Forest Gift

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...

A New Job and The Caravan Joins Us 

Summer 2017. A quick twenty minute process on the PC, the finger hovers momentarily, then, we hit the 'send' button. Twenty years ago, balmy summer evenings sat outside our frame tents, or on the cooler evenings in a tent, in various parts of the UK with our oldest and dearest friends, Mags and Oniss. Kids...
