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 →

Laundry Egg by Eco-Egg – update

Spotted this little gadget in a recent online sale and thought 'Why not? Let's give it a try!' A spring blossom scented Laundry Egg that replaces your regular washing powder. I'm a little bit choosy, normally,  about my choice of detergent. I have quite sensitive skin on my face and take medication for it so have... Continue Reading →

Update on ‘The Dream’ – Dec 2016

Let's sell all our worldly goods, house included, to fund the trip of a lifetime. Buy a Motorhome and travel the UK and Europe. The 'Dream' above is still the general end goal but we are not sufficiently funded to just go do it without a care, however, we do see a very real opportunity... Continue Reading →

Longleat – A Winter Wonder

To celebrate getting old I've gone down to a 3 day working weekend. Having worked Mondays since the age of 16 this is my first Monday off. Time to prepare for our trip to Longleat Caravan Club Site tomorrow. The Boss started work at silly O'Clock this morning and walks through the door just before 11am... Continue Reading →

Towing in France

Thought we would share some thoughts on our trip to France in the summer of 2015.  If anyone out there has wondered or feared what it is like to tow outside our shores, then maybe this will give some food for thought.  To date, this is our only trip abroad with the caravan but we...

Daisy Bank and The Welsh Tornado

Sited and within an hour the kettle is on. Daisy Bank Caravan Park is a lovely adult only site, just inside the Welsh Border. We chose a pitch looking out onto the Kerry Ridgeway. We haven't holidayed in Wales for at least 12 years. The last time we were here we stayed on a beautiful camp site in... Continue Reading →

Justin Wales

We recently shared a map of our caravan trips from the last two years. A number of people immediately noticed we had not been to Wales, was there a reason for this? Apart from the obvious 'damp isn't good for a caravan' (only joking, surely it can't be that wet in Wales) the only reason... Continue Reading →

Bedtime

Have you ever woken from your caravan slumbers with a bad back? "Oh Yes" I hear you all responding.  No doubt my ageing bones have some say in this, but my bed at home doesn't quite leave me with that 'just run over by a bus' feeling that I get from the caravan bed. Depending... Continue Reading →

Lashings of Ginger Beer and the Not so Famous Five

For 15 years we have warned our children about meeting people they have found on the internet. So today we are off to Cirencester Caravan Club Site to meet some people that we have met on, yes, the Internet. If this is our very last blog you know why, although if it is published we...
