Felt strange waking naturally on our first morning to peace and quiet. No noise, just birdsong. Falling out of bed into our own shower rather than bumbling along to the toilet block, I think this might be the way to go for us. Curls scrunched and air dried, butties and a generous chunk of pork... Continue Reading →
Our Pre Christmas Break Part 2
* Mega fail again. We’ve been home for almost two weeks and I’ve just spotted that this blog hadn’t been published. I really do need to get my mojo back. The skies are the brightest blue, the sea twinkles and the sun warms my face, well if I was in Lanzarote that’s what it would... Continue Reading →
New Forest, Our First Trip of the Year
It’s been a while, almost a year, since we had our last caravan holiday. Despite having eight months on site this year, it certainly wasn’t a holiday. Our last sighting of the sea was way back in January when life was normal. We are craving the sight, the sound and the smell of the waves.... Continue Reading →
Up a Big Hill, Broadway Tower and Chipping Campden
The sun is cracking the flags, an Indian summer in September. Site is full and the smell of barbecues lingers on the little breeze that there is. A day off and unbelievably, I’m not tired. I seem to spend a lot of my free time too tired to do anything and have been spending any... Continue Reading →
A trip to the Circus and an Open Top Bus Tour of London
It's New Year's Eve Eve, god only knows what day it is. It's that time of year when we are all hanging in a state of slumber and alcohol induced coma, who knows what day it is, it's part of the longest weekend of the year, you know, the weekend that starts on Christmas Day... Continue Reading →
Looking Back on 2019
2019 started with a bang, 6 weeks this time in Lanzarote. 6 whole weeks of nothing but sunshine and recharging our batteries in readiness for our season at Longleat. The Jellybeans flew out and had a lovely week with us too. Just days after the plane hitting the tarmac at Gatwick we are hitching up... Continue Reading →
Shropshire for Christmas
It’s been three days since our month long winter caravan trip ended and we’re packing up the car again. This time it’s packed to the rafters. The cavernous space inside the Volvo is rammed. We’ve even squished the tortoise 'Harriet', also known as the Hedgehog, in and amongst bags of this and that. Destination, Shropshire... Continue Reading →
Hooray Henleys
We said goodbye to the Motorhome Chit Chats in the rain, wound the legs up and ventured towards our last stop of our winter break, Henley Four Oaks Caravan and Motorhome Club Site. Dodging the rain drops we make it to site in good time and a break in the rain clouds. We are informed... Continue Reading →
York
We arrived at Beechwood Grange CAMC Site yesterday in the bright, blindingly low winter sunshine. The sun visor had been up and down like a tart's knickers on the trip here. Due to lack of rain over the last few days the roads are drier than they've been for the rest of the trip so... Continue Reading →
The Tour Starts with the Lights of Broadway.
After a lazy morning the hall is cleared of caravan clutter that's been piled up as we remember things over the last couple of days. The Volvo is packed to the gunnels and purrs along nicely on this cold and frosty morning as we head to storage to pick the caravan up. Shivering my bits... Continue Reading →
