Blowing the Cobwebs away in Burley

It's been a while since the wheels on the tandem turned. This weekend feels like a good weekend to get the legs burning and the wheels turning. As much as we are out of shape now the good old Brookes saddles fit like a glove as soon as we sit on them. The breeze is... Continue Reading →

Stanpit Marsh and Christchurch Harbour

Our youngest Jellybean and her boyfriend have come to spend the day with us. Armed with huge bottles of water, snacks and swimming costumes they fall out of their car and into our compound, just as the sun disappears behind threatening grey clouds. After a beautiful morning a quick check of the BBC weather app... Continue Reading →

The All New Bailey Phoenix

This time last year we were lucky enough to be invited along to the launch of the Bailey Unicorn Series 4. This year we're heading towards Swindon again and the Stanton Hotel for the launch of Bailey's new Phoenix. The Phoenix is replacing the Pursuit. I love my Pursuit so I'm looking forward to seeing...

Bournemouth and Burgers

Bacon butties on a wet Thursday, day off, cooked on the teppanyaki and slathered in brown sauce. Sitting in the awning with the Jellybeans, they're visiting again, and they fancied some New Forest sunshine for a few days. However, as with most half terms the weather has changed, cracking the flags last week, this week... Continue Reading →

Our New Home is …

Training is done and dusted. I've come away knackered. It's a long time since I sat in a classroom, I don't know how kids do it, although, maybe I do, their learning days are shorter than ours were. We're now armed and ready for the season. I've driven a tractor and a ride on lawn... Continue Reading →

A New Job and The Caravan Joins Us 

Summer 2017. A quick twenty minute process on the PC, the finger hovers momentarily, then, we hit the 'send' button. Twenty years ago, balmy summer evenings sat outside our frame tents, or on the cooler evenings in a tent, in various parts of the UK with our oldest and dearest friends, Mags and Oniss. Kids...

The Caravan Shop

What could be better on a dull January afternoon than a quick trip to the local Caravan Shop? Outside it's cold and damp but I still can't resist a quick shufty in and out of some vans on the forecourt. New vans, old vans, I like to look, I can't help myself. A Swift Basecamp... Continue Reading →

Looking Back at 2017

Looking back over 2017 and it's amazing how much we've packed into the year. Starting the year with ten days in Brighton. Brighton, a town I've always loved and we were blessed with crisp and clear weather. We got to meet up with fellow bloggers, Richard and Trevor, from (Get Your) Legs Down, went out...

Christmas in a Caravan 

Jack Frost has been and covered the caravan site in a crispy white carpet. The site begins to stir, slowly and leisurely. Santa sacks and stockings burst with Father Christmas’ offerings. Bing Crosby and David Bowie serenade us over breakfast with the Little Drummer Boy, good old Radio 2 playing the old favourites. Twinkly lights... Continue Reading →

Late afternoon in Bridgnorth

Tepanyaki outside the caravan and fired up just as the heavens decide to drop their contents on our site. The lunchtime skies went quickly black and it looked like it was here for a while. Lunch re thought quickly, tepanyaki abandoned and hastily brought inside. Halogen oven fired up and sausages chucked inside. Forget the... Continue Reading →
