Keukenhof -The Garden of Tulips… and People 

Beautiful sunny day predicted by the weather app, rain tomorrow. With only 2 days before we pack up the caravan and head towards our next destination we decide that today is the day to visit the 'tulips of (just south of) Amsterdam'. It seems that the world, his wife and his dog looked at the... Continue Reading →

EuroTunnel in a Caravan 

This is our second caravan trip to Europe and on both occasions we have gone via Eurotunnel. We have looked at ferry alternatives but on balance, the cost, frequency of trains, easy boarding, speed of crossing and ability to stay with car/caravan make it a no-brainer for us. Once again we paid for the trip,... Continue Reading →

Time to go Home

Getting ready to go home after being in my 'happy place' starts on our last night. I get that sickening feeling that I used to get as a child on a Sunday night when your mum calls you in from playing out and tells you that after tea it's bath and bed, school tomorrow. I'm... Continue Reading →

Silky for Streaks – Puriclean for Pipes

A question came up on our Facebook Group 'Caravan Adventures ' about removing dirty streak marks on the external caravan walls. With a few exceptions, that may also work well, the overwhelming response was 'Silky'. As we did have numerous streaks that no amount of rubbing with a soapy sponge would remove, a tub of...

Low Emission Zones & Road Tolls

You would think the main advantage of a unified Europe would be encouraging standard process across all countries, if you drive a vehicle, forget that idea. If you own one of those horrible 'diesel' vehicles (ie, almost every motorhome or caravan owner) then you better start doing your homework before you venture from these shores. It's...

We're back now and our choice of accommodation is our Bailey Pursuit, comfort as we get older.  Staying at Tredegar House Caravan and Motorhome club site, click HERE for site review, for only...

Custom Size Beds … Bedtime (part 2)

After converting our end dinette into a fixed bed to try to make the caravan bed more comfortable the only thing left to get was a mattress. Custom Sized Beds came recommended so we decided to check them out. Custom made mattresses made to fit all shapes and sizes of spaces. Choosing to go with the... Continue Reading →

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 →

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 →
