Turn left towards Belgium & The Netherlands

Packed the caravan and sorted everything out in the days leading up to the trip. Quick shower. Wave goodbye to our grown up jellybeans and the cat, in the car on the way to the storage site by 8am. 50 mins after the start of our drive we were still only 18 miles down the... Continue Reading →

Time to go Home

Getting ready to go home after being in my 'happy place' starts on our last night. I get that sickening feeling that I used to get as a child on a Sunday night when your mum calls you in from playing out and tells you that after tea it's bath and bed, school tomorrow. I'm... Continue Reading →

Winchester Escape

Midweek weekend came early. The Boss finished work and was home by Monday lunchtime. Snaffled a quick lunch, threw some bits in a few bags, raided the freezer, shouted goodbye to the cat as the front door  closed behind us, (the kids will be home from work later for him to look after). Straight down... Continue Reading →

Summertime 

What will the summer of 2019 bring? Cracking the flags wall to wall sunshine, or gloomy grey days with wind and rain.  Harping back to the 70s, summers seemed long with endless days. Warmth from early morning to bedtime. Playing out till we either got hungry or night time started to fall. Those endless summer... Continue Reading →

Silky for Streaks – Puriclean for Pipes

A question came up on our Facebook Group 'Caravan Adventures ' about removing dirty streak marks on the external caravan walls. With a few exceptions, that may also work well, the overwhelming response was 'Silky'. As we did have numerous streaks that no amount of rubbing with a soapy sponge would remove, a tub of...

Morn Hill – Caravan and Motorhome Club Site – Winchester 

*Point to note. This site has been refusing this blog was written. An old favourite of ours for a few reasons. Locality, 23 miles from home and our nearest site. Like a comfy pair of slippers we feel right at home.  The site is split into two levels, with reception on the upper level. Met... Continue Reading →

Low Emission Zones & Road Tolls

You would think the main advantage of a unified Europe would be encouraging standard process across all countries, if you drive a vehicle, forget that idea. If you own one of those horrible 'diesel' vehicles (ie, almost every motorhome or caravan owner) then you better start doing your homework before you venture from these shores. It's...

Caravan Attention and a Special Day

Beautiful sunny skies but still blooming chilly, it's still March though so not too bad. The security gate beeps in the distance and the Volvo rumbles onto site. I didn't think we'd be going away again so soon after the last trip but you never know. With the crunch of gravel it slows to a... Continue Reading →

Let’s get ready to go away

Waking up on our first morning off work. Caravan time. No rush. We've got till Thursday.  As a rule we try to go away every other week all year round. None of our trips are ever really planned. We may be organised for a longer trip and know where we are going a few weeks... Continue Reading →

Trips out from Tredegar

Wales, a country we've explored in times gone by when the girls were little and our mobile home was a huge frame tent. We're back now and our choice of accommodation is our Bailey Pursuit, comfort as we get older.  Staying at Tredegar House Caravan and Motorhome club site, click HERE for site review, for only...
