After spending all season being frustrated by how many people rely on their Sat-Navs rather than actually research the best route, he has just informed me .... well, I'll let him say it ... "We've balls'ed up". I'm not sure how "we've" came into it, as I'm happily listening to Jeremy Vine and not paying... Continue Reading →
Faterwalls
Bit of a one off blog here after a fab day out in and around Hawes whilst staying at the Caravan and Motorhome Club Site.The title, a play on words. Those that know me know that I have many 'Debraisms,' words where I may swap letters around, or simply say them wrong. Faterwalls, Par Cark,... Continue Reading →
Bury and Bolton – An Annual Pilgrimage
Goodbye Wales and back to England. The day is dull, damp and grey. Oh the joys of caravanning in the winter. The roads are kind to us and the traffic flows easily. The roads towards the North West display their industry proudly in the mizzly gloom. Roads become familiar very quickly even though we are... Continue Reading →
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.

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

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 →
