We’ve been coming here now once, maybe twice, a year for about ten years. We always come over the winter months and we always seemed to miss the carnival and St Patrick’s Day. I suppose mainly because we had to be back at work at the end of February after having winter off. I’d always... Continue Reading →
Leaky Lanzarote
We should’ve realised on our journey to Gatwick that this was going to be a holiday with a difference. Junction 10 on the M25 was closed so we had planned to take the back roads down to the airport. 5am and the car was frozen solid, trying to crack the doors open to load the... Continue Reading →
Catavanning
A few days ago we went to give the caravan the once over, just checking it’s ok and hasn’t blown off in the recent storms we’ve had. It was still exactly where we had left it but very green, one of the joys of storing on a farm near trees. In order to return it... Continue Reading →
New Direction
Approximately 10 years ago we bought our first caravan and the blog was born. The road the blog was destined to follow, was our new found love, caravanning. The caravan took us on endless trips within the UK and Europe. Looking back I think we’ve been at our happiest in Europe in the caravan. We... Continue Reading →
A Trip to White House Beach CAMC Site
Last minute as normal for us. Completely unplanned. Saturday morning the day dawned as it normally would, the weather wasn’t too bad, still not summer as we know it but it’s not raining. ‘Let’s take the caravan away’ he says. Not wanting to miss a trick I quickly book White House Beach in Suffolk, I... Continue Reading →
The Netherlands Part 3
Just over a two hour drive back to the site we started on last week. This is our fourth stay here, it’s a nice site, perfect for the beach, cycling and sightseeing. We set up very quickly as we didn’t really put anything away, we just dropped it all in bags for life and put... Continue Reading →
The Netherlands Part 2
Bit of a lazy start this morning. We’ve got till 12pm to depart so we do a slow pack up even going to the trouble of unpacking the kettle to brew up part way through. The motor mover came into its own getting off the pitch, it’s not often we use it but we got... Continue Reading →
A Rainy Day In
Still in The Netherlands, we woke to a hazy world with a BBC promise of less than a 40% chance of light showers over lunchtime. Forever the optimist, and the fact that I was about to put on my last pair of clean knickers, off I stomped with a bag for life full of dirty... Continue Reading →
The Netherlands
On a cold, wet, windy, autumn morning in June, we loaded the car, hoisted the tandem onto the roof and hitched the caravan onto the back. It’s been 11 months since we last took the caravan out and we were a little nervous. This car hadn’t towed before, the tow ball was newly sanded and... Continue Reading →
Ding, Ding, Belgium
The journey into Belgium was, thankfully, uneventful. The area we are staying in is a little more built up than the site in The Netherlands. Driving down someone’s front street in a foreign country with a caravan on the back can be a bit worrying. There’s a level crossing at the end of the road... Continue Reading →
