Unless you visit a Caravan and Motorhome Club site you can never be too sure what to expect as regards facilities on site when you turn up. Even CAMC vary a little bit but tend to be what you expect. Does anyone recognise this motto from one of their sites? I like warm facilities, well... Continue Reading →
Makins Fishery Campsite, Wovey, Warwickshire review
Makins Fishery Campsite is situated next to the M69 in Warwickshire. Traffic noise from the motorway is very audible but the beauty of the site and lakes more than makes up for it. Within a couple of hours we are used to the distant rumble and hardly seem to notice it. Makins is predominantly a... Continue Reading →
Slinfold Caravan and Motorhome Club site review
Located on a former railway line on the Downs Link in the beautiful village of Slinfold, makes this site perfect for walking or cycling. Located at the end of a narrow lane it is recommended to arrive after their 12pm arrival time as you wouldn't want to meet another unit coming the other way. Slinfold... Continue Reading →
The Life of a Bailey Pursuit
I sit quietly at the storage yard amongst a multitude of other 'Memory Boxes.' Most used regularly, loved and polished. Other boxes sit amongst us lonely and unloved, desperate for care and attention. My fridge is switched on and filled, blinds opened. Steadies wound up, The Volvo reverses slowly, the hitch lowers and clicks into... Continue Reading →
Easy like Sunday mornings
Waking up naturally and stretching your arms and legs. Savouring the warmth of the duvet and realising as you slowly blink away the sleep that if you wanted to you could actually stay in bed all day.

Thumbelina goes to Brighton
Thumbelina was bought for me by a very dear work friend for my 50th birthday. Our first trip out this year and I thought it only fair to let her tell you how her holiday was. My first holiday away! They've taken me to their caravan, I've got my own seat by the big front... Continue Reading →
An evening in the life of…
An evening in the caravan is so different to an evening at home. For a start we don't have a TV, no news, no One Show, no Corrie, oh how I miss my Corrie. I feel caravan life, I smell caravan life and my goodness, it smells good. An evening normally starts as the sun... Continue Reading →
Looking back at 2016
Looking back it seems like we have packed an awful lot of trips into 2016 and done quite a bit of tinkering to make the caravan more personal to us. We upgraded our Orion 400-2 for a Bailey Pursuit 560-5 and with the arrival of the Pursuit in November, 2015 the blog was born. We... Continue Reading →
