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 couple of days rolled into one in that lovely way they do when you’re away in the caravan. A blur of sitting in the sunshine, trips out, snoozing, reading and, naturally, crocheting. Some folk climb mountains on holiday. I make blankets. Without even realising it, we’d picked the perfect pitch. The caravan blocked... 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 →
Something is clearly going on. Bags for life stuffed with all sorts have started appearing. One even seems to contain my belongings. I don’t remember authorising this. After a good sleep, morning arrives again, but the humans are up earlier than usual. Suspicious behaviour. The bags begin to disappear… and then my cat carrier appears.... 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 →
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 →
Before we traveled to Luxembourg everybody joked that we had to purchase all our provisions before entering as it was so expensive. Well, our experience is the total opposite, during the (least expensive of the trip) campsite 'check in' the receptionist had said, "Here's your pitch, here's the toilets, public transport is free, do you...

Our last night in Germany and the rain hammered on the roof, the lightning flashed and the thunder crashed. Packing up tomorrow is going to be easy as we have taken the canopy down, packed the aqua roll and wastemaster away ahead of the storm. 11am we’ve said our goodbyes to our neighbours, during the...

A slightly longer blog than normal but it does have lots of photos. After a very long WiFi less weekend. We are on the move again. Another 4.5hr drive away from the Black Forest to Cochem. An area recommended by a German friend of Steve. The journey is mainly on two lane autobahns were traffic... Continue Reading →
