Setting up in stifling heat gets you just as wet as setting up in the rain. First impressions of this site are really good. We receive a lovely welcome from the warden who, it turns out, apparently lived just a few doors away from us, albeit 40 years ago. The site has a gate at... Continue Reading →
Waking to rain on a day when you have to pack up is never a good start. Fortunately, we took the canopy down the night before, so at least we didn’t have to transport it soaking wet. Not only was it wet, it was cold too. It was that proper wet rain, the kind that... Continue Reading →
The next trip is planned. Unlike our spontaneous trips to Europe, where we just plan the first night and then wing it, this year we’re staying in the UK, so everything has had to be booked in advance. Apparently, this is what responsible adults do. I can’t say I’m entirely comfortable with it. Now all... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
Alarm clock set for ridiculous o’clock, haven’t had to set an alarm since our last shift in work in November last year. Never mind, this time it’s because we are off on the road again. Awake ten minutes before the dreaded alarm startled us into wakefulness, stumbled into the bathroom, rubbed the sleep out of... Continue Reading →
