We’ve been home for a week, just long enough to do the washing and lull the cat into a false sense of security, thinking we are back and it’s time to hit the road again. Going home in two senses of the phrase this time, back to Burrs, family time and time to get the... 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 →
Sunny Last Days in The Netherlands
Sunday afternoon was forecast the heavy storms that the UK had seen the day before. Another lazy start as that’s what happens on holiday, The Boss was lazy too and rode 40 miles, so we decided to stay put today. Not really a fan of being out in a storm we settled ourselves on pitch... Continue Reading →
An afternoon in Sluis
A really lazy start to the day for me. The Boss was up and pedalling early doors, he had a fixed car to collect 20 miles away so set off on his road bike in his civvies and normal shoes 'and' his debit card. I took advantage and had a slow start to my day.... Continue Reading →
Bruges Day & Beach Day
After the car fiasco yesterday, we slept better than we’ve slept in a long time. Good old Red Pennant, have been better than we could have hoped for. The car was towed away to a local garage, owner Carlo is convinced he can fix it, hopefully in a few days. Red Pennant have been in... Continue Reading →
Day one … What could go wrong?
Alarm clock set for ridiculous o’clock, haven’t had to set an alarm since our last shift in work in November last year. Never mind, this time it’s because we are off on the road again. Awake ten minutes before the dreaded alarm startled us into wakefulness, stumbled into the bathroom, rubbed the sleep out of... Continue Reading →
Like Going Home
The weather has been cracking the flags for the last few weeks and true to form just as we decide to take the caravan out the forecast turns wet. Luckily, day by day as our arrival date gets closer the good old BBC start to change their predictions, it might not be that bad after... Continue Reading →
Sunsets and Rainbows
Heading into our tenth week here at Burrs Country Park. The season is racing by at a speed of knots that I’m finding hard to keep up with. A lady on site said hello today, she said they’d decided to come to Burrs after following my blog. Then the penny dropped, I need to get... Continue Reading →
It’s Been a While…
Just a little update on our everyday antics since we finished work. My blogs are becoming less frequent as time goes on I’ve noticed. Mainly due to lockdown and our job. We don’t get many opportunities to go away in the caravan these days, so my writing and my blogs seem to be dwindling. Our... Continue Reading →
Ashridge Farm – Our 2021 Holiday
Falling behind in getting the words out of my fingers into the blog. Lack of caravan time this last couple of years has given me little motivation to write. We’ve been back home now a couple of weeks and it feels like a lifetime ago. Our one and only holiday this year, 4 nights at... Continue Reading →
