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 →
It's been a while in construction but the Festival of Lights at Longleat is ready and it's looking like it's bigger and better than in previous years. Having been assistants at the Caravan and Motorhome Club Site next door we've watched the dedicated team go backwards and forwards daily into Longleat as they build the... Continue Reading →
Up with the lark, or even before the lark and the crows and the sparrows. The rain has been thundering on the caravan roof for most of the night and it's still falling heavily from the dark night skies as I stumble out the the van door at ridiculous o'clock in the morning. In real... Continue Reading →
Composting toilets. Where do I start? I have a toilet phobia, I struggle to... go. Depending on circumstance. I don't hold onto it, I don't try to make myself ill, if the surroundings aren't right, it just doesn't happen. Nothing moves. My sister moved to The States years ago. We spent three glorious weeks absorbing... Continue Reading →
We're off on the road again. After our last trip to the New Forest, I'm a little more organised. I started to throw stuff, willy nilly into the van the night before, so, when our shift finishes, I'm still in uniform as he is motor moving the van out of our compound and into late...

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...

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 →
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 →
We've been home for two whole weeks, it's been a strange two weeks. Countless trips to the charity shop and what felt like 'waiting for something.' A feeling that I think will take longer than two weeks to shrug off. I haven't got time to adjust to normal living, I've got itchy feet. Having been... Continue Reading →
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 →
