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. Sunday mornings are the best. Nothing to  wake up for, nothing to get up for. Unless you're us.... Continue Reading →

Bournville to Birmingham Canal Walk

Staying at Chapel Lane Caravan Club site we decide on a trip out. We are away with friends, they head off to Cadbury World with their kids. Being a bit tight and not having any kids with us we decide to pull on the walking boots and stretch the old legs. A couple of miles... Continue Reading →

Spring 

I looked forward to wrapping up in fluffy jumpers and hot chocolate in front of the fire. Kicking at the leaves and praying for snow. I've had enough now. Dark mornings and even darker in the late afternoons. Grey and dismal days. Trying to dodge the showers and listening to the wind. It's dark when... Continue Reading →

Why we bought a Caravan

We have endure enjoyed 33 years of holidays together since we first met, so how did we end up with a caravan. We both left school in 1983 aged 16 and started work at McDonalds, Bolton (UK), back in the days when people still expected a knife and fork with their food. Aged 17 we started... Continue Reading →

Brighton – Our ten day trip to Sussex

After working all over Christmas and New Year, including Christmas Day and New Year's Day, we are ready for a break. Destination Brighton Caravan Club site. Only a couple of hours from home and relatively straightforward to get to. Halfway there and we stop in a huge layby for lunch. Only a quick bite to... Continue Reading →

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 →

The Beautiful Game 

Gutted really, our front caravan window here at Brighton Caravan Club site is looking out towards Whitehawk FC's pitch and I had mentally made an appointment to attend Saturday's match versus Hemel Hempstead in England's 6th tier of league football. If you follow or have stumbled upon this blog page before you have probably already... Continue Reading →

Wessex ‘Waterless Wash’ for vehicles

I am very lazy when it comes to washing the caravan but so many keep their caravans and motorhomes so shiny clean I am shamed into making more of an effort. Unless it's high summer I soon find myself with water dripping from the sponge down my forearms to my elbow in a freezing mess,... 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 →
