Time to Tandem

We can now go out, but not 'out out.' Lockdown has been eased a little and I'm missing seeing the world outside those gates so much. The Boss has finished his Lands End to John o’Groats ride on site and I'm wearing the site out walking round, spotting killer wildlife and listening to podcasts. As... Continue Reading →

John o’Groats, Worcestershire

As I ride over the finish line I am conscious that I can actually see where I started 909 miles ago, Lands End, Worcestershire. What was the point? The point was that I had an opportunity, an opportunity not to be wasted. We returned from our Lanzarote winter holiday feeling very well watered and fed.... Continue Reading →

Blurry Days

The gospel choir of birds outside our window woke me early. Then the rooks joined in and drowned out the beautiful dawn chorus, pulling the quilt up I managed to doze off again for a couple of hours until the pigeons joined a troop of Morris Dancers on our roof, time to get up. Starting... Continue Reading →

Couch to John o’Groats

Looking at your average social media page during this period of lockdown it would seem there are two options; crack open the wine while tucking into the crisps or become a health kick bore and exercise like mad. If I'd tossed a coin I could quite easily and happily chosen either route. Pre-Lockdown, we had... Continue Reading →

Lockdown Day… Mon-tue-wednesturday

I’ve lost track of our lockdown day number. In fact I’ve lost track of the days, Tuesday, Wednesday or Sunday? My days are defined by who is on Radio 2, Ken Bruce, Jeremy Vine and good old Sara Cox let me know it’s a week day anyone else on during the day, it must be... Continue Reading →

Lockdown Day 5 – Reality Dawning

No sun streaming through the window this morning, pulling back the curtains it looks breezy and cold. Steaming cup of tea and Dermot O’Leary on Radio 2 help me wake up. Nipping out to the office to check emails and such confirms my suspicions, it is pigging freezing. Last night we had an evening stroll... Continue Reading →

Lockdown Day 3 – The Food Shop

A lazy start to the morning, woken by a bird with hob nail boots on clattering across the roof, squawking its head off. Cup of Builders with BBC news, starts the day off but does nothing to lift the spirits. We’ve got a day off today, so as soon as I’ve supped my tea, there’s... Continue Reading →

Lockdown Day 2 – Staying Healthy, Getting Healthy

The skies are blue again as I tuck into my cereal and yoghurt, minus fruit, we still haven’t been able to go shopping. The road outside the site still seems to have a constant hum of traffic, where is everyone going! Into the office, first cuppa of the day. Strong builder’s for me with a... Continue Reading →

Slinfold Caravan and Motorhome Club site review

Located on a former railway line on the Downs Link in the beautiful village of Slinfold, makes this site perfect for walking or cycling. Located at the end of a narrow lane it is recommended to arrive after their 12pm arrival time as you wouldn't want to meet another unit coming the other way.  Slinfold... Continue Reading →

The ‘Low’ Lands and ‘Highs’ of Amsterdam

The wind was blowing a hooley as we headed north on the second leg of our trip, our Dutch neighbour 'Max' said it would not be too windy to take the coastal route, I think the Dutch must be more hardened to the wind judging by the colour of The Boss' knuckles holding onto the... Continue Reading →
